Independent Validation and Testing: Trusted and True
New software and systems usually involve change: changes from paper-based processes, changes to user interfaces, changes in the system and informational environment. ATSI acts as your unbiased, disinterested observer to champion usability, consistency, and delivery. As your trusted advisor, ATSI identifies and assesses project risk – independent of influence and pressure. We’re with you every step of the way, from project inception and Statement of Work to rollout and post-deployment assessment.
IV&V
ATSI’s Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) services help you focus on the end product instead of the development effort to ensure that systems and software meet the intended use and deliver value to your organization and staff. Using recognized standards and best project management practices, we work with developers to verify that the software and systems are well engineered and validate that user needs are met. ATSI guides developers and integrators as well as your contract administrators to ensure on-time delivery of the prescribed system.
Testing & Evaluation
Acting independently or as part of your development team, ATSI’s test and evaluation services can investigate defects, verify functionality, and ensure reliability and security of systems and software. We work in concert with developers and integrators during the engineering process to make sure that software code and system elements can be tested and perform as expected. Throughout the process ATSI concentrates on increasing quality, measuring performance, life-cycle costs.
Post-Deployment Assessment
Whether a web application, on-line training course, or integration project, ATSI sets up a qualitative and quantitative approach to determine if software and systems are delivering the goods to the intended audience. We ask questions: are users getting what was envisioned and intended, what happens to user feedback, how can it be better than designed ? ATSI uses system knowledge and sampling design expertise to uncover user impressions and use patterns, making recommendations that maximize return on investment.
