	What we offer:
	A Sensible Approach to Testing Automation

	Before selecting an automated testing tool, adopting a methodology for automated testing, or developing automated testing strategies, a thorough understanding of what is actually involved must be achieved. This includes:
		Test Environment requirements
		Personnel requirements
		Training requirements
		Establishing Change Control procedures for automated test scripts
		Developing a directory and file infrastructure for input and expected results data
		Analysis of current testing methodology, procedures, and processes to determine what,
		if anything, must be modified or developed in order to accommodate automated testing

	We can help you achieve success with automated testing by ensuring that you are adequately prepared for the endeavor, and fully understand what can, and cannot be accomplished.

	Proven Automated Testing Methodology

	Our totally data driven methodology allows testers to create automated test cases that can be also be used for manual testing without having to learn the tool's scripting language. Using this method, even non-technical testers can produce comprehensive and detailed automated test cases after only a few hours of training.
