Acando establishes own Competence Center for Test Management

Acando establishes own Competence Center for Test Management

With the successful establishment of a competence center, the Management
and IT consultancy Acando is meeting the increasing demand for strategic
test support. The unit with its nearly 20 members combines industry
knowledge with methodical expertise while accompanying companies with
targeted consultation services along their software tests.

The experts cooperate across locations and departments and are regularly
certified by the International Software Testing Qualifications Board
(ISTQB) and the German Project Management Association [Deutsche
Gesellschaft für Projektmanagement - GPM]. Acando's customers are
supported in their projects by industry and technology professionals.
“The demands for high-quality tests often conflict with budgeting and
scheduling. Also companies face major challenges with regard to legal
and content-related requirements for software systems; these challenges
can only be faced with structured tests,” explains Waldemar Prokscha,
Team Manager Business Consulting at Acando on establishing the
competence center.

Acando has carried out successful test projects for retailers, logistics
companies, various banks and financial service providers. Customers
benefit from their decision to give test projects to a professional
service provider; Senior Consultant Sven Murner elaborates: “Using our
procedure, tests are processed more quickly because they are well
structured and automated at proper occasions. There is more planning
assurance for going-live and the risk of detecting errors too late is
reduced to a minimum, thereby also saving costs.”

The fact that companies are currently concerned with strategic and
automated tests is demonstrated not only by the many requests made with
the consulting company, but also by the well-attended events of the
competence center.

The next webinar about strategic test management will take place on
October 20, 2011.
