Directing the testing of any government agency is a complex undertaking. The challenges are well known. These include increasingly complex technology, ever growing demands on performance, conformance to government and public regulations and oversight all of this against the backdrop of increasing reliance on networks, systems and on-line information to achieve governmental goals.

Testing is an ongoing effort, requiring disciplined and continued attention from the organisation, as well as effective communication and co-ordination across functions and departments.

There are also new and exciting areas opening up in this sector such as e-Government and eProcurement that can enable faster and more efficient resolution management of departmental purchasing and provide a more open and easy access to information about your future plans and current services.

The Testhouse approach to testing services is based upon an understanding that even the most advanced technical solutions cannot be effective unless they are well integrated into the way the agency conducts business.
