Practice context

Where this craft was learned.

Software quality is not learned the same way at every scale. A system serving several million users, a regulated billing chain, or a defense information system does not allow the same approximations as a product at launch stage.

What this page says, and what it does not

  • These organizations are environments in which an engagement took place, either directly or through a third party.
  • They constitute neither a partnership, a recommendation, nor an endorsement on their part.
  • The logos are used solely to identify these organizations and remain the property of their respective owners.
  • No engagement details are published: confidentiality commitments take precedence over sales arguments.

Organizations

Sectors

Very different constraints, which translate into different test strategies: volume and availability for some, traceability and regulatory compliance for others.

  • Telecommunications
  • Energy
  • Insurance and social protection
  • Digital services
  • Public sector

And for your context?

A list of environments says nothing about what would apply in your organization. That is what the QA audit is for: six areas assessed on an explicit grid, a readout, a roadmap. It is a more useful starting point than a reference.
