Our QA capability focuses on embedding quality across the delivery lifecycle. This includes structured assessments, standards definition, risk management, tailored QA strategies, and continuous improvement practices.

We deliver functional, performance, security, and user acceptance testing to validate system behaviour, scalability, resilience, and user experience.

In Agile and DevOps environments, Avec treats quality as a shared, end-to-end responsibility rather than a standalone testing phase. We embed quality practices throughout delivery by defining clear acceptance criteria and definitions of done, adopting test-driven and behaviour-driven development, and implementing automated testing across CI/CD pipelines. Close collaboration between development, operations, and quality roles — supported by meaningful, outcome-focused metrics — ensures delivery speed and system reliability progress together.

Avec maintains a tools-agnostic testing practice, focusing on test design, process, and outcomes rather than specific technologies. Tool selection is typically aligned to client architecture and technology strategy. We work across a wide range of test management platforms and automation frameworks, including enterprise and open-source solutions, ensuring the right tools are applied to each delivery context.

For complex and legacy environments, Avec applies a structured, risk-based testing approach. We define a clear test strategy to guide scope and priorities, focusing first on critical business processes and high-risk integration points. Techniques such as interface and contract testing, service virtualisation, and incremental regression automation are used to stabilise dependencies, while exploratory and scenario-based testing addresses areas where automation is less effective.

Deliverables are tailored to the engagement scope and delivery model, but typically include:

  • Test strategy and test plans
  • Risk registers and quality metrics
  • Test cases and traceability to requirements
  • Automated test scripts where applicable
  • Test execution evidence and defect reporting
  • Progress dashboards and test summary or closure reports

All deliverables are designed to support informed decision-making, auditability, and confidence in production readiness.

Testing optimisation improves efficiency and consistency through process evaluation, test automation frameworks, and continuous improvement, reducing defects, accelerating delivery, and lowering rework.

We provide experience QA and testing specialists through flexible engagement models, ensuring rapid access to the right skills while integrating seamlessly with existing teams and delivery environments.

Our programs combine practical learning, real-world scenarios, and certified instruction. Training is tailored to organisational needs and designed to uplift capability across QA and testing disciplines.
