Large deployments
Companies that need to implement their solution in a large scale will often need to adapt the product for such a deployment. This can include the specific topology of the project, external interfaces and integrations, scaling up the product to support large deployment, specific developments for the customer's needs, project based tests and especially scalability tests.
Moreover, such project involves different groups in the company and good communication and information transfer is essential for the project's success. It requires a professional who can manage the interaction and bring to the table project management skills as well as technical experience and risk analysis experience.
I can assist in any of those stages from the planning, design and follow up. I can also assist in actually implementing the integration, building the test suite and the test tools.
Technology or solution analysis
The need to analyze a specific technology may arise by a company that wish to extend its solution or by a VC that wish to analyze the investment in a specific company or product.
The analysis spans from defining the needs, researching the existing solution and analyzing its quality.
Where relevant, I can also demonstrate and develop a prototype of how the technology can be utilized for the benefit of the company.
Test planing and design
Companies often find that their testing environment is lacking. This can be due to lack of resources in the testing team, lack of knowledge or other reasons. The fact is that without proper planning, the amount of resources spent on testing is, in many cases, not providing the value.
Good planning of the tests including risk analysis, planning the test lab, defining the type of tests and the required testing tools is essential to optimize testing.
I can assist in any stage of test planning and design and follow-up the team until its efficiency is multiplied. I can also develop test tools, as required for the project.
