EXCO - Your Certified Partner for Quality Excellence

Efficient test automation ensures software quality while reducing both time and costs. Software testing is essential to ensure that your applications meet the highest quality standards and are suitable for use in highly regulated industries such as the pharmaceutical and medical technology sectors.

Depending on your specific requirements and the scope of your project, we offer flexible test automation solutions. You can choose whether tests are executed on demand at the push of a button, run as part of a nightly build, or are fully integrated into a Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline.

Software Development Process

3 Steps to Standards-Compliant Software

Development and implementation of software solutions for regulated industrial and medical technology environments.

Extensible Test Framework

To ensure robust and future-proof test automation, EXCO's experts develop a tailored test framework that provides:

  • High maintainability and extensibility to support evolving requirements.
  • Seamless integration of additional products with minimal implementation effort.
  • A unified codebase that enables efficient resource sharing across projects and accelerates project onboarding.
Software testing activities for quality-critical applications in regulated environments.

Test Automation

Following the implementation of the test framework, the development of automated test cases begins. Our test automation services include:

  • Requirements analysis: We evaluate your product and test requirements to identify automation potential.
  • Development and documentation: We develop automated test cases and provide comprehensive documentation.
  • Review processes: We conduct regular reviews and continuously optimize test cases to ensure high quality standards.

Successful test automation relies on effective test management, combining test framework development, automation implementation, and continuous collaboration with the customer to achieve project goals. Our EXCO test management services include:

  • Prioritization and task planning: We ensure that the most important tasks remain in focus throughout the project.
  • Transparent progress reporting: Regular updates and clear metrics provide full visibility into project progress at every stage.
