BOT and Engagement Models: Scalable, Flexible Solutions for Optimized Software Testing
The Build Operate Transfer (BOT) Model and different Engagement Models of software testing provide organizations with strategic models for setting up, operating, and transferring testing operations in a seamless and efficient way. The BOT model involves three consecutive phases:
the first building phase of the testing infrastructure, followed by the operation phase in which the testing process is executed for a specified period, and finally the transfer phase in which the fully functional unit is transferred to the client.
This model is particularly beneficial for organizations that need to ramp up their testing functions quickly with appropriate knowledge transfer and acquisition of required skills from Firstagile. At the same time, Firstagile’s Engagement Models in software testing provide agile and tailored means for delivering testing services—either through project-based projects, managed services, or dedicated teams—so organizations can select the best-suited model for their requirements.
Methods Used:
Phased Approach: BOT model focuses on a step-by-step approach—infrastructure building, solution operating, and later handing over the management to the client for seamless transition and continuity.
Managed Services: Outsourcing the complete testing process to third-party professionals and leaving the core business activities for the client.
Dedicated Teams: Assigning specialist testing teams to long-term projects to promote persistent quality assurance and hassle-free interaction.
Automation Integration: Integrating automated testing tools within the BOT framework to increase efficiency, minimize manual intervention, and optimize the testing lifecycle.
