Project Planning

Tierra Tech Corporation offers two project planning services - Project Evaluation and Project Triage.

Project Evaluation

Tierra Tech Corporation can provide an evaluation of your quality assurance effort. Tierra Tech Corporation will assist you in defining a test strategy and help you determine your test team needs, schedule, and approach to best utilize the resources and budget available. This evaluation is usually one-half day or less and will be performed by our senior QA consultants. Upon the retention of Tierra Tech Corporation by your company for other services, you will be credited with the cost of the evaluation.

Project Triage

Your project is in progress; your schedule is slipping; it looks like you're going over budget; and you forgot about QA! Tierra Tech Corporation can help. Our senior project management team can perform an in-depth evaluation of your project; make recommendations regarding strategy, schedule, test requirements, test methodologies, staffing levels, and other resources; and propose solutions. This is a billable service. Depending upon the scope of your project, we can bill hourly or on a flat fee basis.

Project Execution Support

Tierra Tech Corporation offers various levels of project execution support. Tierra Tech Corporation can provide the entire quality team, manage your existing staff, supplement your staff, or offer a hybrid solution just for your company.

Project Management

Tierra Tech Corporation can provide overall project management for your quality effort. Tierra Tech Corporation can define your test strategy, build/manage the QA team, and create test plans and test cases. Tierra Tech Corporation functions as a liaison between other related departments. We can provide status and project management reports as necessary.

Project Staffing

Tierra Tech Corporation can provide your entire project team or augment your existing team members. Our personnel can execute your existing test cases or scenarios; create new test cases or scenarios as required; write bugs/defects; and perform ad-hoc, manual, functionality, and regression testing.
