When tackling the many options to be effective and efficient with testing, QA/QE professionals face testing with two options: manual or automation. Or, do we? Our superpower is we can have benefits of both worlds. Manually validate the validity of the requirements and quality while automating the validation of the supporting technology using shelf or open source products.
Our superpower
“STRM Consulting’s superpower is creating a balance between the options. By encompassing the burning desire to automate everything, STRM learned to balance in order to meet the objective.”
Manually testing data includes data profiling, validating copybooks to data dictionaries, field/data mappings, and data flows. While designing and implementing automations, STRM validates data integrity, data quality, consistency, business rules, transformations, and movement/landing of the data. STRM works with end users to facilitate UAT reporting of the data per custom views and filter, and data representation to confirm successful delivery of the solution.
