We have various ways of charging depending on the task in hand, whether it be a recurring fee for BAU tick over, taking a retainer to provide a certain number of days to be available as and when required, or one-off payments for specific projects. At any rate you can rely on us to be competitive for our services whilst maintaining the high standards we have become known for!

The simple answer is lead time very much depends on the job we are taking on – a simple testplan build and getting testing underway can be as little as a 4 week turnaround, whereas a full bespoke automation build will likely take longer – however we pride ourselves on being upfront on letting a client know what is feasible and in what timescales.

Of course! We are always happy to work alongside in-house test teams, whether that be to provide support on the same project or to provide resource or expertise that the in-house team doesn't have. Over the many years of providing test services and solutions we have used many different systems and tools and are always quick studies when required to use a new tool.

Automation improves testing efficiency by executing tasks rapidly and consistently, reducing human error and enabling broad test coverage, including complex scenarios. It supports repetitive tasks like regression testing and generates detailed reports for informed decision-making. By handling large-scale, repetitive and data-intensive tasks, automation allows testers to focus on strategic activities, enhancing productivity and ensuring high-quality results with reduced long-term costs.

Types of Processes That Can Be Automated with Our Services: Rates and Rules Testing: Automate the execution of test scripts to validate pricing accuracy and underwriting rules across insurance products. Business Process Testing: Streamline testing of point-of-sale documentation, EDI processes and various policy lifecycle stages, including new business, renewals and mid-term adjustments. Data Migration Validation: Automate the comparison and verification of data before and after migration to ensure accuracy and completeness. Batch Testing: Perform large-scale testing of quotes and transactions across multiple systems to identify discrepancies quickly. Regression Testing: Automatically re-test existing functionality after updates or changes to ensure no unintended issues are introduced.
