Notice Title

TESTING AUTOMATED TOOL

Notice Description

Scope and Duration of the Contract ITMS is looking to invest in an automation tool to support testing, particularly regression testing which is currently a large manual overhead for ITMS and DMU. There is an expectation that regression testing will be a frequent testing phase in the very near future due to regular releases to the SAP implementation. The expectation of implementing an automation tool is to reduce this large manual regression testing overhead and to reduce the amount of resources required to complete regression testing. The duration of any Contract shall be made up of an initial Term of 3 (three) years with the option to extend for a further 2 (two) x 12 (twelve) month periods at the sole discretion of the University and subject to satisfactory performance of the supplier, making for a potential total Contract duration of 5 (five) years. Full details of the University's requirements can be found in the Specification (Schedule 2), within the University's published ITT Additional information: Full details of the University's Requirements can be found in the University's published ITT document at : https://in-tendhost.co.uk/demontfort/aspx/Home Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
