Atos’s Test Services unit provides specialist software testing consultancy and IT test services that are based on a proven methodology, which is designed to balance test investment, timescales, quality risk management and risk reduction. Our services have been tried and tested in some of the most rigorous situations, including the Olympic Games. 

Balance risk against business needs

Test services are an essential risk reduction process and enterprises should ensure that their software testing is planned accordingly. The key is to focus testing first on those areas that have the greatest likelihood and impact of failure.

With ever less time available for software deployment, it is no longer always possible to aim for 100% test coverage before live roll-out. Therefore, a fresh approach to testing is required. The adoption of test strategies with a risk-based approach at their heart ensures that testing is weighted and timed to those areas that are most likely to fail and to those areas that will cause the most business impact if they do fail.

Our test services expertise

We work closely with each customer to develop a tailored quality risk management and risk reduction package that balances specific business risks against business needs for time to market, cost and quality compliance.

We offer the independence and specialisation of a niche IT test house coupled with the deep IT delivery expertise of an international systems integrator. Our capability spans 40 countries and over 47000 people. We manage assignments ranging from several weeks of intensive one-to-one consultancy to long-running test programmes on £100m+ system deployments.

Our test professionals are certified to deliver best practice based on more than 30 years of successful software deliveries across all industry sectors. We provide professional test consultancy and test practice delivery for businesses across all market sectors and at all stages of the development and operations lifecycle.

Proven approach

Our test services strategy and quality risk management approach enabled the successful deployment of the IT systems used to support the last three Olympic Games. The high profile and immovable timeline of the Olympic Games demands a risk-based approach and rigorous pre-production testing. At our Olympic Games test facility, we verified and validated the Olympic IT systems in a massive 200000 man-hour testing programme. Our role at the Olympic Games is a prime example of our ability to test mission-critical systems that must perform to stakeholder expectations from day one of live launch, with no second chance to get it right.
