Associate feature: Empowering Scotland’s Digital Transformation with AI-Driven Quality Assurance

Scotland’s public sector is at a pivotal juncture, embracing digital transformation to enhance the delivery of public services. As citizens increasingly expect swift, secure and dependable online interactions, public sector organisations must meet these demands.

Though, it can be challenging while navigating the complexities of advancing technology and ever-evolving policies.

To ensure the reliability of digital services, adopting a robust quality engineering approach has never been more critical.

The Imperative of AI-Led Quality Engineering

Delivering seamless digital services is far more complex than traditional software testing can accommodate. Quality engineering has evolved from mere defect detection to proactive risk management and assurance of performance, security and compliance.

The adoption of AI-driven testing methodologies and intelligent automation is essential. It is required for predicting potential issues before they impact users. It also optimises test coverage and reduces manual efforts.

Qualitest, the world’s largest independent quality assurance specialist, brings proven expertise to public sector organisations seeking to enhance their digital capabilities.

A Transformational Success Story

When one of the UK’s largest public sector institutions with nationwide infrastructure and operations embarked on its digital transformation journey, it faced multiple challenges.
Despite adopting DevOps practices, the institution struggled with prolonged manual testing processes. Issues like insufficient real-time monitoring and security loopholes threatened operational efficiency.

Qualitest introduced its innovative DevPerfOps framework. It seamlessly integrated performance engineering with cyber assurance.

This comprehensive approach addressed the challenges head-on. By automating data generation, it reduced the tedious three-hour process to just thirty minutes. Furthermore, real-time monitoring through advanced tools like Datadog enabled continuous feedback on performance metrics. As a result, the institution not only achieved improved operational efficiency but also strengthened its cybersecurity posture.
