Notice Information

Notice Title

End to End Testing Service

Notice Description

Specifically, there are a number of products we are looking for support to ensure they remain fit for purpose and meet technical and legal standards. These services have historically been developed as isolated deliveries despite having a common deployment eco-system and lack a joined up test approach. An outline approach has been developed and brought into reality for our PIP and HAS services. As the model has now been proven we need to expand the approach to cover additional areas of Health as well continuing management/iteration of the existing cross context testing platforms and approach.
