Why Keane?
Test Early and Often
The cost of correcting errors in a live application can be up to 100 times higher than if caught before deployment. No surprise that Keane’s mantra is: “Test early and often.” Keane’s Lifecycle Management Approach integrates testing early into the development cycle — and into every critical stage of development — so you save because you don’t have to fix costly bugs later. What’s more, projects are more likely to stay on schedule, maintenance costs are lower, and, of course, software quality improves when testing is part of the development cycle.
Keane’s focus is on delivering the highest quality software. We work to detect existing defects, prevent future defects, and continue to improve processes throughout the development lifecycle.
Why Choose Keane?
Our clients don’t just experience fewer defects — they find that test execution is more productive. As a result, testing costs less and software releases happen faster. Here are other important aspects of our approach to software testing:
Risk-based testing approach
By blending industry-tailored tools with a testing approach that focuses on your specific business and operational risks, we can implement risk-based testing quickly.
A “New Tester Approach”
We can put the “test early and often” principle to work by embedding a tester in your development team. Read more about this approach.
Testing practice with a test lab and R&D center
Our dedicated team of testing experts has only one goal: finding better ways to test software.
Formal process, flexible approach
Keane tailors its testing frameworks, processes, and tools to meet clients’ needs.
