What Makes The Star Quality Methodology Different

Star Quality has developed a methodology, which not only provides a roadmap for the user on how to automate their testing, but also provides the architecture in which to build the tests. This strategy has been designed to address the biggest barrier to success in the test automation marketplace: quite simply it provides QA engineers with the “How-To” to build automated tests that are easy to write and maintain. By providing a cookie-cutter approach, Star Quality ensures that customers will know what do to when they leave class and begin to develop automated tests for their own applications. Our approach enables everyone on the team to contribute to the automation effort. With our architecture, there are less tasks that require programming experience and more tasks that can be performed by the people who know the product to be tested
