What competencies are needed by leaders at the top of the ladder?
01. People
Members of a high-competitive team are trained in the following skills to obtain a joint maximum performance:
_General testing methodologies
_Frontend technologies and testing
_Test Design
_Test automation patterns, principles, practices
_API Testing
_Performance and load testing
_Security testing

02. Technology
Which are the criteria considered when evaluating and choosing a certain technology?
The trend shows that the main competitors work with sophisticated business or open code tools, thus aligning their teams’ skills.
At Baufest, we are agnostics to tools. We know that open code tools could be beneficial in terms of quality-price ratio, but they come at a high cost in terms of building and maintenance. On the other hand, licensed tools lead to a faster and more efficient implementation, but the cost many times is too high.
Therefore, our goal is to help companies choose the most effective tools, based on their strategy and test architecture, thus accelerating implementation times with our know-how and specialized team.

BEGINERS MODE:

Implementation. We select tools, we create multi-disciplinary teams, and we define test strategies that better suit your next challenge.
Adoption. We recommend automated test frameworks integrated with test processes based on shift-left-testing and with easily executable agile methodologies. We help you measure your times and get to know your weak spots to determine the plan that better suits your goal.

PRO MODE:

Collaboration. We collaborate by continuously integrating data management disciplines, as well as the virtualization of the environments, in order to achieve a continuous integration architecture.
Acceleration. We improve the test automation framework, the techniques, and the test adopted to obtain better maintenance and scalability.

EXPERT MODE:

Collaboration. DevTestOps + DevSecOps: We evolved the testing process by integrating it in the continuous delivery. We work together with the Development areas, Security and Operations to optimize deployment times and prevent business risks.
Measurement. We carry out a measurements model that, based on product quality information, enables decision-making processes.

Baufest Testing framework
Backed by our experience and technological stack, we select the tools which better adapt to each project, and we created a customized framework that enables:
Accelerating the setup of new test automation projects.
Explore the stack defined without licensing costs.
Perform an automation project that can be easily maintained and that can be scalable.
