We would like to share some of the experiences that our current and previous clients have had working with TSG
Will Hitchcock
Head of Solution Delivery, Linklaters LLP 2011
“As a company that relies heavily on SAP to support its day to day business, it became increasingly important for us to be able to test new releases of SAP and the systems that interface with it, quickly, efficiently and reliably. With improvement and cost saving in mind, we asked TSG to work with the business analysts and SAP team to document all of our business processes, test them and then automate them for future regression testing so that we could be ready for change and act quickly without impacting business users.
The task, which was completed on time and on budget, returned our investment in under a year.”
Susan Maslin
Quality Assurance Analyst/Test Consultant, 3i-Infotech 2010
Susan attended our ISEB Intermediate Certificate in Software Testing course in order to gain a recognised qualification. She had 15 years experience in software testing including user acceptance techniques and systems test before she came on the training course. She did not have any objectives before she began the course, however, she “found the training course has given me a new passion/vigour zest for my job! I want to go back and change things, even if they are only small steps” She found the reviewing topic very beneficial and “actually seeing the benefit of testing early. Also the fundamental process and finding out that, although not formally, or to any standards, we are doing things right” She went on to say “the course trainer was brilliant, enthusiastic and it was a pleasure to attend everyday! The venue was the right size, comfortable, the appropriate methods were used for learning and the catering was fab!”
Silvio Glockner
Test Designer at the Test and Integration Center, T-Systems Multimedia Solutions 2011
“I have several years of experience in agile projects – as a developer as well as a tester – and the Certified Agile Tester course reinforced my understanding of various aspects of agile. It was great to see theory translate to practice. I gained new ideas on collaboration and testing which I promptly applied to my current agile project.
The course itself is diverse with a good balance between theory and practice. I can recommend it to testers as well as developers with experience in the field of agile methods.”
Claire Martin
IT Specialist, IBM 2010
Claire has more than 10 years experience in various software testing techniques. She attended our ISEB Foundation Certificate in Software Testing course as part of a formal career development plan and to gain a recognised qualification. She said “lovely venue which was relaxed but professional environment. Food was great, excellent joining instructions and good location. The trainers’ real life examples were an excellent aid for memory and made things more interactive and relevant.” She found that learning the ISEB/ISTQB software testing terminology and definitions were very beneficial as well as understanding how to use the static test techniques.
Petra Bender
Test Manager at the Test and Integration Center, T-Systems Multimedia Solutions 2011
“What does “agile” actually with regard to software development? What differentiates agile projects from the waterfall or V-model? What is the task of the tester in agile projects? How does agile development affect test automation?
The Certified Agile Tester course offered a theoretical as well as a practical introduction to the subject matter. Especially the practical exercises helped to understand and at the same time showed specifics of agile methods. The topic “agile” gains more and more importance in the field of software development and the course is a good means to acquire the necessary skills for working in an agile team.“

“The CAT course is a successful introduction to the topic of agile software development from the tester’s point of view. The mix of theoretical lessons and practical exercises creates a solid knowledge base as well as giving an impression of a tester’s life in an agile project. For me as a participant this course has furthered my interest in agile software projects and I feel well prepared to succeed as a tester in an agile team.”
