Agile Managed Testing Service (@MTS) is our Testing Service framework that allows our clients on-demand testing to facilitate both large enterprise-level projects as well as regular monthly or quarterly production support and enhancement releases. Our testing professionals are organized by teams who dedicate their time to individual clients at our Testing Center of Excellence. They possess both business and technical knowledge and can be scaled up or down on-demand, allowing our customers to meet the perennial issues of resource peaks and troughs experienced by all organizations. A flexible Testing Services Model delivered through the Testing Center of Excellence.

Our @MTS combines business-driven test management processes with technology, tools, and test workbench solutions, all of which are managed through statistical process control and continuous improvement.

Our approach to sourcing testing and QA services is collaborative. Managed Healthcare Testing Services is the solution for clients who want to transform their testing function and achieve high-quality systems cost-effectively, without the expense of large overheads and day-to-day responsibilities, and without losing overall project control. Most businesses tend to overly rely on software developers to perform the testing function and as a result, the User Acceptance Testing (UAT) becomes a tug of war between business function and the development team, often resulting in multiple change requests and an extended project timeline. At Agile, with our deep functional knowledge, we not only prepare for the UAT with business owners but also perform UAT execution on their behalf.

MTS Delivery Models

Leveraging traditional methods of success

Agile Healthcare Testing Services, Center of Excellence offers flexible delivery models to align with our clients’ methodologies and delivery models. For organization using more traditional models, we offer testing execution in four phases – Planning, Development, Execution and Closure. We implement industry best practices through well-defined Test Strategy and timely execution through our Testing Readiness Document. Our Agile model is built on the principle that Testing is an integrated, continuous process. The Test Cases are created based on acceptance criteria, not just technical specification. This test-driven approach reduces feedback time and retesting cycle.
