Quality assurance and test
It is a truism that the costs rise for the removal of mistakes, the later they are discovered. Nevertheless, problems appear in practice very often when coping with the challenge early defect detection. And this for several reasons:
- Insufficient or not co-ordinated test processes
- Lacking of knowing or the missing the ability of looking "outside of the box"
- Insufficient methodology or tool knowledge
- Inadequate practical experiences
- Missing technical leadership competence
- Main focus for testing is inadequate to the business goals
- ...
Besides, we support you to identify and to use profit from these potentials. Thereby, we rely on on our best practices and international standards, just like on agile recipes for success. All these elements are adapted to the real needs of our customers.
Of course we are proficient in repertoire of the software quality assurance like

- White-and blackbox-testing
- Test automation (different tools technologies)
- Test management
- Review and assessment of processes and test objects
Data quality management
The data quality plays an increasing role in today's information age. The data quality management is the appropriate medium to bear the challenges coming with the permanently growing amount of data.
- For financial institutions, the fulfilment of regulatory specifications is essential (BASEL II, BaFin, Sarbanes-Oxley Act,I FRS, Solvency II, GroMiKV, KWG)
- Growing amounts of data are accompanied by a growing effort for the guarantee of the data quality - the cost-push increases
- Data and the information contained in it are the basis for deriving strategic business decisions; Quality defects in this environment can lead to fatal faults
Unlike the data quality assurance at which only the state of the data quality stated and faults found can be corrected we concentrate on the steering of the data quality at the data quality management. The quality is merely a measure, how much is the data suitable for the fulfilment of the enterprise specific requirements. Accordingly, the determination of the requirements is at first place at the data quality management. These requirements are made by different Stakeholders and must be solid to each other.
In the context of the requirement analysis and the concrete IT systems, the customer can look for suitable solutions to adapt the data quality to the weighted requirements continuously.
