We Make Test Automation Happen

We got tired of hearing how test automation wasn’t providing a good return on investment and decided to do something about it. We formed Star Quality® and set our sites on making test automation more accessible, more reliable and more productive. And that’s just what we’ve done.

We’ve enabled our clients to choose the best tools, set the right goals and achieve results that they had not thought possible. We start with education because we believe that effective training is the foundation for your success. We offer courses on Test Planning and Test Automation Methodology which will provide your team with a new way of thinking about software testing. To transition from the classroom to the lab, we work side by side with your staff on a model project of your choosing. We provide tools that reduce the need for scripting or recording and demonstrate how automated tests can provide a healthy return on investment in a matter of days. Along the way, we impart good practices and standards and share years of experience with tips and techniques.

Our clients have leveraged our services to stretch their Quality Assurance dollars and meet their quality objectives. They have Star Quality. You can too.

StarTest Generates Automated Tests Without Coding or Recording

Test tool vendors believe that by providing recorders, they are lowering the required skill level so that non-programmers can use their tools. Unfortunately, recorders are generally unreliable. What’s worse, they produce test scripts that are expensive to maintain: users simply re-record tests when their applications change and thereby lose their previous investment.

We take an entirely different approach. Instead of requiring users to focus on testing code, we allow them to focus on test plans and test data. Users build automated tests by selecting a set of methods and data to complete their testing tasks. StarTest (patent pending) provides universal methods to handle input and verification tasks, eliminating most programming and recording.

The Star Quality Approach

Star Quality has developed a unique test automation methodology that provides a roadmap for the user on how to choose, plan and develop a test automation project. The Star Quality Methodology (patent pending) also provides an architecture upon which to build efficient data-driven tests.

Clients starting their regression test automation efforts using the Star Quality Methodology are typically months ahead of where they would be if they started from scratch. This proven 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
