Your team is too small or has not yet built the experience required to develop well designed, maintainable automated tests for your project.

Perhaps you have "inherited" an application with no tests and you're feeling justifiably nervous about allowing your team to dive in and start making changes without a safety net of good, automated tests.

Perhaps you have a great team of developers or testers but are lacking in real experience with test automation.

These are all reasons to be concerned. Test planning and design is a discipline like other aspects of software planning and design with is own special challenges. Well designed automated tests can be a tremendous assets. Like other software, poorly designed automated tests are simply a waste of money.

The SilverMark team lives, eats and breaths software testing and has a vast body of experience to draw from. We can come to your site, sit down with your team and work side-by side with them to help them create well designed, maintainable automated tests until your team members have built up sufficient momentum.

We can show your team members the pitfalls of test automation, how to avoid creating ineffective tests, and how to create robust and maintainable tests that will withstand changes to the application under test.

SilverMark can make a team member available for periodic reviews and consultation as the project progresses and new challenges are uncovered.

We can help your team get on track and stay on track. They will learn valuable techniques, practices and skills that will show up in confidence-inspiring automated tests that provide a clear return on investment.
