Better Quality Assurance through in-depth understanding of business needs, systems and testing tools.

While cost continues to be important for QA & Testing Organizations, the main drivers for today's market are still overall product quality and time to market. Adoption of Agile by both Independent Software Vendors and the Enterprise moves Testing Teams from the formal execution of predominantly manual test cases into a business centric risk-driven approach to testing with focus on requirements validation, automated regression testing, and continuous integration. These changes allow us to deliver products and applications on-time, optimizes testing cycle, increase the number of new features covered, and drive implementation of the "all defects known" paradigm.

Modern infrastructure, connectivity and Internet speeds, a global move toward Mobile and Cloud, as well as user expectations for sub-second response times, combine to drive ever more stringent requirements for the deployment of Cross-Platform compatible, high-performance, high-availability, stable systems.

These factors are transforming Quality Departments, emphasizing more industry specialization, the adoption of modern processes, quality tools and methods, a shift from metrics driven formal models to more Agile, outcome based models, and an increased interest in Testing as a Service (TAAS) offerings.

RMI Sys advantage

RMI Sys operates our Quality Assurance and Testing Division as an independent business unit. With 20 years of real-world testing experience and over 1,500 QA Engineers, Testing Software Engineers, and QA Managers, we provide standalone and integrated testing services to some of the world's largest Independent Software Vendors and Enterprise Clients.

Testing Services for enterprise

Today RMI Sys drives QA & Testing Transformation for a number of large enterprises. Our Test Transformation Framework is focused on shifting testing services upstream, integrating development and testing teams, promoting joint knowledge transfer and knowledge sharing, and shifting from pure metrics based reporting to SLA/Outcome-based "Testing as a Service" (Takas) models.

Our full range of services includes:

• QA Consulting, Process Engineering, and Testing Transformation
• Independent Testing Services
• Manual and Automated Functional Testing
• Application Testing
• Integration Testing
• Non-Functional Testing (performance scalability and optimization))
• Performance and Scalability Testing
• Security Testing

Adopting Agile

RMI Sys has been providing testing services for Agile engagements since 2003. We run dozens of all-Scrum projects and incorporate Agile into our internal practices, our tools, and our delivery models. We believe that the adoption of Agile Testing will significantly transform enterprise testing practices and eventually replace many aspects of more traditional QA processes.

Mobile testing

The RMI Sys Mobile Testing Group, together with our QA and Testing Competency Center has optimized RMI Sys's core testing methodology for mobile applications. Today we support native, web-based, and hybrid devices, as well as standalone and client-server based mobile applications.

RMI Sys has experience testing a wide range of mobile operating platforms, including IOS, Android, Blackberry, Win Mo, WP7, WebOS, Brew, J2ME, Samsung Bada, and Linux. We have adopted Device anywhere and Perfecto Mobile for testing on a wide range of mobile devices using global networks and carriers in different locations.

RMI Sys Mobile Labs also provide our developers and testers with the full set of mobile devices required for each project, including iPhones, iPads, Android-operated platforms, Blackberries, Windows Mobile, Nokia, and other devices.

Testing as a Service

"Testing as a Service" (TAAS) is currently being piloted in several RMI Sys engagements. In this scenario the testing services are requested and provisioned on a fully turn-key basis. We have had excellent success using this model in our Mobile projects where the requirements for cross-device testing are critical.
