By

Companies spend millions of dollars in testing new product rollouts and maintenance of old products. This is to ensure that end customers, like and embrace the new technology be it on web, mobile or client server. Testing is a multi billion-dollar industry and one that hasn’t taken full advantage of test automation. End customers still find defects which impacts companies’ brand. It is just not augmenting human resource anymore but clients are looking at service companies that can deliver outcomes, assure and ensure quality. Ta3s (Test automation as a service), established in 2013, divergently, provides good customer satisfaction by taking the time required to map key internal and external customer deliverable pain points and correlates the same to bring forth a strong customer centric UFP (Unique Fitment Proposition). Ta3s studies each issue and approaches them accordingly. Unlike approaching every company with a legacy solution or a single value template, UFP enables to understand issues and address with a customized as well as customer centric solution.

Superior Solutions with Excellent Craftsmanship

While enterprises are fast adopting open source technologies, there is lack of technical expertise and effective test management solutions in the market. Ta3sALM of Ta3s is an end-to-end test management solution that provides required results to enable defect reductions, defect analysis, quality gates and quality matrix solutions. Ta3s quotes the quality adhering to their standard and executes the entire transaction seamlessly. Hereby enabling enterprises to focus on their core businesses, while Ta3s helps deliver outcomes on time and with quality in the background.

There is a large untapped market where freelancers are available to help deliver test scripts and the SME segment is ready to provide smaller chunks of test cases to automate. Ta3s intends to interpose by providing Ta3sCrowd hence enabling execution of tests on multiple browser and platforms in a workflow. Ta3sCrowd hence helps map the freelancers’ skills to the exact details required. Freelancers then deliver the test scripts while the quality parameters and outcomes are monitored and scrutinized by Ta3s.

Mobile applications are fast becoming an integral part of our daily life, which was once solely exploited by enterprises. Similarly, product or application is not meant for single vendor or OS, but has to support the entire eco system, host platforms and devices across a wide range of devices. Nullifying the complexities, Ta3s’ expertise and its partnership with leading mobile cloud vendors, presents the ability to test products and apps on real devices, across different networks and Operating Systems.

In contrast to performance testing with regards to determination of how a system works in terms of responsiveness and stability, Ta3s provides performance-engineering services to help pinpoint bottlenecks. Ta3s helps customers to fine tune applications, web servers, databases and Operating systems to mitigate risk of potential bottlenecks in production, capacity planning and benchmarking. This additionally leads to enhanced scalability, availability, reliability and capacity planning.

Roadmap for the Coming Years

The testing services market has today established itself and is at a maturing phase. Verticals such as e- commerce, Cloud Computing and mobile application development are going to provide positive impetus to both the development and testing fraternities. With frequent changes in products and applications, test automation and performance engineering are fast becoming a necessity for any organization that is looking at productivity, quality and performance. Niche testing solutions and services vendors are few; hereby, Ta3s extends its services to acclimatize to challenges in quality assurance by instilling outcome based solutions tailored to client’s needs.
