  • Mentoring

    Mentoring

    Frequently organizations encounter a roadblock on their Quality Assurance Processes. Most tasks are progressing well but there is a hitch or a stumble somewhere. The problem is not large enough to warrant a full consulting contract but it needs to be resolved. This is where Mentoring helps.

    Issue: A client, who creates websites for government departments and high profile clients, was having trouble with their Quality Assurance process.

    Please take a look at Case Study 11: https://nvp.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Case-Study-11-Mentoring.pdf to see how this was solved quickly and cheaply.

  • Privacy

    Privacy

    Privacy of data is becoming increasingly important to the industry. With increasing regulations and increased scrutiny from the press, no organization can hide data breaches for too long.

    Issue The client was facing a privacy audit from one of their customers.

  • Regulatory Approval

    Regulatory Approval

    An NCR (Non-Conformance Report) from an Audit is the last thing anyone wants to see. Especially if you are not familiar with how to handle it. Your business is in production of high precision parts, or providing groceries to consumers, or a business-to-business solution. The last thing you need is an auditor asking questions about your software processes.

    Please take a look at Case Study 3: https://nvp.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Case-Study-3.pdf for how an NCR was resolved in one case.

  • Test Leadership

    The role of a Test Lead varies widely between organisations and even within some large organisations. Some test leads execute a plan, other build and manage and some run multiple projects with other test leads running particular aspects.  If you are in this position, you may be wondering what to do. 

    Please take a look at Case Study 2: https://nvp.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Case-Study-2.pdf for how training was organised in one particular example.

  • Requirements

    Requirements

    While iterative methodologies do not expect full requirements at the beginning of a project, it may still be critical to eventually capture the entire set of requirements. Traceability between testing and requirements has become popular recently to provide auditability.

    Please see https://nvp.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Case-Study-8-Requirements.pdf for an example Case Study.

  • Test Tool Selection

    Test Tool Selection

    Test Automation is critical to any ongoing test efforts. Without automation., there is no way that testing can keep up and it is almost impossible to complete regression testing or any sort of Performance Testing. Tracking current status is also difficult. With AI coming into the mix in both the product and the test tool, the need is greater than ever to understand what is available and how it works.

  • Bridging the Gap

    Bridging the Gap

    Bridging the Gap between vendors and the final client can be difficult for a System Integrator. It is one thing to actually make the decision, purchase the software, integrate the software and deliver it. It is very much another situation when you come to the various levels of testing and need to coordinate multiple vendors, one System Integrator, and a client with multiple departments with differing needs.

    Please take a look at the Case Study 1 : https://nvp.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Case-Study-1.pdf for one occurrence.

  • Quantifying Intangibles – 4

    Quantifying Intangibles – 4

    Refining and maintaining the value of intangibles is an on-going task that must be re-visited with every project and at least once a year the entire list needs to be validated to confirm that they are useful items to be included in a project costing. Items that were important may no longer be necessary and new ones may need to be added.
