    Take your opportunity to get training created by experts in the field. Make 2018 your best Quality Assurance year by being prepared and ready for whatever might come your way in terms of Software Testing or Quality Assurance. Waiting to next year puts you behind when a problem does occur.

    Quality Assurance is not just a solution to a technical software problem. It is a consideration for the entire business. Software Quality Assurance failures impact the entire business and can lead to large problems if not addressed.

    Training testers using NVP supplied courses provides testers with the techniques, tools, and knowledge to select the best method for testing – not the one that has been used for the last 15 years that’s falling short!

    When you work with an experienced software testing trainer you benefit by:

    • Creating more valuable employees that pays back more than investments
      in any test tool!
    • Getting real value from testing
    • Enhancing speed, accuracy and results from your testing processes
    • Seeing larger profits

    Quality assurance training is a great way to help ensure your systems are working for you while supporting and contributing to the growth of your company.

  • Anticipate the worst and plan for the best

    Anticipate the worst and plan for the best

    The press has been full of the Mars probe crash over the past week. A sensor malfunction caused the onboard computer to think the probe was much closer to the surface than it actually was and triggered a series of actions that caused it to crash. It’s not easy to anticipate everything especially when it has to be planned out so far in advance and last minute changes are not possible. Mars probes have failed for a number of reasons over the years and knowledge of the red planet is still limited. How could quality assurance helped? (more…)

    Getting Value From Quality Management

    Two weeks ago we provided A How to on Quality Management?  This week we want to look how you get Value from Quality Management.

The key to getting value from Quality Management and Quality Assurance activities is that all findings must be acted upon. If they aren’t, value isn’t achieved and efforts will be wasted. (more…)

    Risk if not completed – It may not be possible to operate the complete system with all data in place if the volume of expected records is not checked during testing and verified to work correctly and completely. (more…)
