Testing Services

Testing Services

Testing delivered on time and on budget.

GOX test consultants plan, manage and deliver your testing so releases, upgrades and migrations go live when you said they would, without the cost overruns.

Testing is where projects slip.

It’s the last phase before go-live, so every delay upstream lands on it. Test windows get squeezed, defects pile up late and costs keep rising. The business is then asked to go live with risks nobody has measured.

Usually the cause isn’t a lack of testers. It’s a lack of planning, control and clear reporting. That’s where we come in.


What we do

Test strategy and planning
A clear test approach from day one: scope, risk, environments, data and entry and exit criteria, so everyone knows what “ready” means.

Test management
Experienced test managers who run the plan day to day: tracking progress, managing defects and keeping suppliers and business users on schedule.

User acceptance testing (UAT)
We organise and support business users through UAT, with scripts, training and triage, so sign-off happens on time and with confidence.

Test assurance and health checks
An independent review of a programme’s testing that’s already underway. We tell you where the risks are and what it will take to land it.

Supplier and vendor testing oversight
When a systems integrator or software vendor is doing the testing, we act as your eyes and ears, checking that their testing is complete and their reporting is honest.

Test automation advice
Practical advice on where automation will save time and money, and where it won’t.


How we work

  1. Assess: we review your project, timeline and risks, and agree what good looks like.
  2. Plan: a realistic test plan with costs, resources and milestones you can hold us to.
  3. Deliver: our consultants run the testing alongside your team, with weekly reporting on progress, defects and readiness.
  4. Go live: a clear, evidence-based go/no-go recommendation, so the decision is made on facts.

Why GOX

  • Senior consultants, not juniors. You get experienced test managers who have done this before.
  • Independent. We don’t sell software or build systems, so we can tell you the truth about quality and risk.
  • Budget control built in. Fixed-price options and clear cost tracking, so testing doesn’t become a blank cheque.
  • Plain-English reporting. Executives get a clear picture of readiness, not 40-page defect logs.
  • Flexible. One consultant for a few weeks, or a full test team for a major programme.

  • ERP and finance system implementations (e.g. SAP, Oracle, Dynamics 365)
  • HR and payroll systems
  • IT service management platforms
  • Cloud migrations and infrastructure changes

Testimonials

We took the strategic decision to completely transform our technology and delivery systems to enable future growth. However, our company had never outsourced, off-shored, or started a project of this magnitude. GOX enabled us to source a delivery partner at less than 50% of our anticipated cost. They helped us plan, manage risk and successfully govern the project from inception to delivery. We leverarged their project management delivery capability for a 15 month successful implementation.
