Business Problem:  Erasing Doubts in Test Program Development

Challenges: 

  • DHA as a Model for Transformation 
  • T&E activities are constrained by a lack of governance over product quality
  • Vendors and product owners have no guidance on industry best practices
  • Disparate approaches to quality assurance fill the void, which further undermines the client's ability to determine whether the software is fit for use
  • As T&E value diminishes, stakeholders view the process as a scheduling bottleneck


Solution

Using new technologies, eliminating overlapping roles and responsibilities, and defining overarching QA standards, Nolij developed a full-service approach to software T&E, comparable to a platform service. Nolij QA evaluators assess product quality against eight pillars, each one an evaluation area comprised of multiple KPIs. We score KPIs according to DoD 5000 Series acquisition documentation standards and calculate final product scores on a scale of 0 to 100.
