The Test & Accept Process

The Test & Accept platform follows a structured 9-step process that ensures projects are clearly defined, properly managed, thoroughly tested, and continuously improved. This process helps teams deliver high-quality solutions that meet stakeholder expectations.

Complete Traceability

The Test & Accept process creates a complete traceability chain from high-level project goals down to detailed verification procedures:

This structured approach ensures that:

  1. All work is properly organized and scoped
  2. The right people are involved at the right time
  3. Task items are clearly defined with completion criteria
  4. Tests are created before implementation
  5. Versions are controlled and approved
  6. Testing is systematic and documented
  7. Continuous improvement is built into the process
