SQS, a market leader in quality management and software testing for Product Life Cycle Management (PLM), has partnered with Siemens PLM to provide an innovative end to end testing solution for ten clients. Since 2015 SQS and Siemens have been supporting these North American and European firms in the Automotive, Aerospace, Hi-tech, Oil & Transport sectors, where the commercial engagement was either fixed price or output based.
Its ten years working with Siemens helped SQS to identify the newest product releases and, using the vast product knowledge of SQS’ SWAT team of PLM specialists (Subject Matter Experts) and functional experts, it was then able to create this new and innovative end to end testing solution, testing Siemens Teamcenter while new releases were still being developed. This had the added unique advantage of allowing SQS to deliver a solution six to nine month ahead of competitors.
SQS’ SWAT team designed the heat maps for the PLM products (such as Siemens Teamcenter) and its integration with CAD and ERP products (like NX, Catia, AutoCAD and SAP) for their different major and patch releases. The heat maps were built based on new enhancements and known defects for upcoming releases and patches, usage patterns and trend by the end users and technology maturity of the different functional areas.
The heat map of latest product releases helped each of the clients to define the right testing scope for them whilst also mitigating the risk of testing efforts being left unused or only partially used, in turn meaning higher test coverage for the right modules and applications. It also resulted in significant time, cost and risk savings for the clients’ upgrades and quicker migration of their customised PLM environments.
After revolutionising the art of the subject matter and business expertise into the science, SQS will showcase this end to end innovative testing solution during the PLM World Conference that is going to be held on 16-19 May 2016 in Dallas, US.
