Why was Foresight created?
Combined we have 56+ years of experience in IT, playing roles from programmer, tester, all the way to C-level position. During this time we noticed a common theme, all companies (big and small) struggle with reporting and metrics tracking on testing projects/efforts and estimating. The normal process usually involves a resource spending the majority of their time gathering, interpreting and presenting testing data. This process is resource dependant (increases risk of errors and misrepresentation) and time consuming. By the time the reporting has channeled up to the C-level it’s usually a few days old and therefore old news. We created Foresight to bridge the gap between the project planning world and the testing world, and to provide REAL-TIME testing metrics that are based on REAL DATA. This data is meaningful and actionable, which allows the users to maximize the efficiencies of their PEOPLE, PROCESSES and TOOLS!!
“Foresight gives you the insight to be proactive and act as soon as a project begins to slip. You no longer need to wait for a report to be generated and then react to old news. Foresight provides you with unfiltered information on your critical projects, it is Real Facts, in Real Time” said by Kelly Kierans, Chief Operating Officer for Celtic Testing Experts
“The most effective software development management methods are based on taking action based on evidence. Gathering that evidence – or as it’s usually called ‘metrics’ – can be a challenge but is critical to making the kind of decisions that lead to success. With CTE Foresight, we’ve done the ‘gathering’ for you so you can have real-time data at your fingertips to maximize the positive effects of your decisions” said by Hank Rainwater, Chief Technology Officer for Celtic Testing Experts
