Test Engineering Services

Test Engineering services across the Home Office and other government departments:

• Quality & Test Assurance: to assure unit and component testing including, but not limited to, advice on best practice, coverage levels, reporting and tooling.

• Test Automation: to develop or enhance and implement test automation models to support cost effective continuous release methods within agile / devops environments. Areas of testing to be covered include:

o Contract testing: automated API tests to ensure the component under test confirms to service definitions.

o Component integration testing: automated tests to test the integration between two components.

o System Testing: automated testing within sprints to test the story in full, likely based on BDD scenarios.

o System Integration testing: tests features end to end across functionality, including automated regression test capability.

o Security testing: automated security tests in order to find issues prior to health checks.

o Exploratory testing: manual tests to be targeted around complex areas of functionality (APIs) and business-critical areas.
