Risk Reduction

A key issue in IT governance is alignment of the information system on the actual business objectives and requirements. Tests aim to demonstrate this alignment.

Quality insurance guarantees that tests are end-to-end aligned on business requirements. This requires proving the alignment at each stage of the test process.

 

 

 
 
Current investments in requirements management and automated testing solutions are not always sufficient to ensure that the Information System has been efficiently tested.
 
Even IT departments that are experienced in testing will face difficulties when it comes to certifying that the information system meets all the expected business requirements. They may be experienced in delivering certain level of testing, i.e. ensuring that the information system runs appropriately, but quality assurance requires additional commitment from the IT department.
