Testing
Thoughtworks has introduced revolutionary testing techniques to enterprise IT, demonstrated leadership in automated testing and has a successful record of coaching - we have helped many organizations adapt to Agile testing methodologies. We have highly experienced consultants passionate about testing practices and processes, allowing us to implement the right test strategy for any software project.
Critical feedback mechanism
Many software development organizations treat testing as a mere checkpoint to be passed before taking the product live. Months of this kind of "testing" add no value to the product and the product can quickly become out-of-date. Instead of testing at the end of the development process, we integrate testing thoroughly into software development and systems management. Our own experience shows that when supported with the right processes, tools and training, integrated testing speeds up the overall delivery of software significantly. Repositioning testing at the heart of software development not only builds in quality but also creates value by striving to prevent defects before they occur, enabling developers to get feedback in minutes and regression test results in hours, and allows business to adopt testing activities which are highly aligned with their goals.
The role of QA at ThoughtWorks
Aspiring testers will find an exciting and progressive career platform in Thoughtworks. We provide the right opportunity to extend your expertise into analysis, coding, communication and so on. We often pair testers with developers, which obviously leads to an increased coding knowledge, and so the development of more maintainable automated suites. On the other hand, they can portion out their exuberant testing skills with developers. On pairing with an analyst, this type of mutual knowledge sharing continues and builds really close-knit and highly performing teams. Working closely with customers helps the test team to ask right questions and come up with the right acceptance criteria and makes sure that our customers get full visibility of the product being developed.
