Our Story
Our founders were engaged at a Fortune 500 client to deploy a large ERP solution. Halfway through the project, they found it difficult to find parking spots in a normally uncrowded parking lot at the client's office. This continued for several weeks. Upon inquiry they found that testers from all over the globe had arrived to do Integration and User Acceptance Testing. Contrary to expectations, very little of complete End-to-End testing was actually accomplished due to several integration issues. This resulted in many production issues after go-live.
The founders thought that there had to be a better way to do the testing. The current methods of doing testing would not cut it for IT organizations. What IT organizations need is a Business Assurance Platform and not just a testing solution. ATTEST was built from ground-up to provide a robust platform to effectively assure the business operations of enterprises.
