Proprietary methodology · Testing as Code

We don't test more.  We test better.

TasC defines what to test before the code exists. Based on ISO/IEC 25010 and ISTQB, it prioritizes where a failure interrupts the operation — because testing 100% isn't rigor, it's waste.

The problem · costs and maintainability

Speed doesn't  filter errors.

Traditional automation is expensive and depends on highly specialized profiles. And often it fixes nothing: it moves the same script, with the same errors, into a process that now runs faster.

The result is a test that's hard to maintain, full of design gaps: more maintenance cost and less return.

How it works

Four pillars of the method. 

SBOT CORE

Intelligent automation

SBOT runs what's critical, not everything. The methodology defines the what; the tool, the how. That's why the savings are real, not paid for with useless coverage.

ISO 25010

Red Flags

We apply ISO/IEC 25010 to identify your software's real risks. We don't aim for 100% coverage: we aim for 0% critical failures. We don't test everything: we test what's essential.

TESTING AS CODE

Preventive quality

TasC designs the tests from the start of development. The failure never reaches production because we catch it before it exists.

Acceptance criteria defined before coding100%

GOVERNANCE

Quality gate

Every release goes through acceptance criteria written before coding starts. The Q-Gate doesn't argue: it compares the result against the criteria and issues a verdict.

Risk map · ISO/IEC 25010

Testing 100% is a mathematical impossibility. 

The standard's eight characteristics don't weigh the same for every business. TasC weighs them against real operational impact and concentrates the effort where a failure interrupts the operation.

FUNCTIONALITY · WEIGHT 5/5

Does it do what the business needs? It's the axis that decides whether the release ships.

The TasC cycle

Five steps.  No shortcuts.

The method is the same for an e-commerce site and for a rail system. What changes is the risk threshold, not the discipline.

01TASC

The risk gets defined

Before coding, the team agrees on which failure is unacceptable and why. That agreement is the acceptance criteria.

02SHIFT-LEFT

The test case is born with the story

The test is written alongside the requirement, not after. Testing as Code: versioned, reviewed and traceable like the code.

03SBOT

SBOT runs what's critical

Only what's prioritized gets automated. The rest is covered with directed exploration, where humans add the most value.

04PASS

The Q-Gate issues a diagnosis and a verdict

It compares the result against the criteria. Pass or no pass; there's no middle-ground interpretation or last-minute negotiation.

05Q-GATE

The evidence stays

Every run leaves a traceable report: useful for the record, audits, the standard, and to justify next cycle's budget.
