Enterprise Risk Services (ERS) facilitates and conducts testing during various phases of the system development lifecycle. Testing assessment involves independent evaluation of unit, integration, system or user-acceptance testing to validate the quality and thoroughness of the test strategy, approach, plan and scripts.

ERS also provides test management and development to assist the technical and/or business user as tests are developed, executed, documented and managed. Benefits include:

• Potential minimization of support and maintenance costs and maximization of the benefits of testing efforts.
• Improved testing efficiency through the use of the strategies within our approach and other automated testing tools.
• Increased project confidence of users, customers and senior management.
• Identification of high-risk processes for testing, and additional test requirements such as unit, integration, user acceptance.
• Identification of testing tools to assist in tracking and resolving defects and reporting status to management.
