Symphony Services Selects HP to Automate and Accelerate Software Testing

HP today announced that R&D services company Symphony Services has selected HP Software solutions to help its customers reduce software development times by up to 30 percent.


To sustain competitive advantage, organisations in India are looking to speed innovation, while driving growth and profitability. High quality business applications that embrace areas like cloud and mobility are key to achieving this.

Symphony Services provides testing services to independent software vendors (ISVs) seeking the latest technology to deliver high quality applications to businesses and government agencies. However, the manual testing processes used by some of Symphony Services’ customers resulted in long development times and failed to ensure consistent quality for new software applications.

To address this, Symphony Services chose HP’s IT Performance Suite software solutions to automate its application testing services. With enhanced testing and quality control components, HP’s IT Performance Suite will help Symphony Services improve the efficiency of its testing processes as well as the effectiveness of identifying application defects. These improvements are expected to increase quality assurance by up to 20 percent.

“Businesses are required to optimize product development cycles to stay ahead of competition and continue to deliver new products with required agility while providing a compelling end-user experience,” said, Sunil Gupta, SVP and Head of Service Lines, Symphony Services. “With HP IT Performance Suite software, we aim to identify and reduce performance bottlenecks, improve resource utilization as well as accelerate the return on investment on new product releases for our clients.”

HP IT Performance Suite software suite includes the HP LoadRunner, HP QuickTest Professional (QTP) and HP Quality Center (QC) solutions. This software suite offers immediate access to testing templates, process models and industry benchmarking reports. This allows Symphony Services to automate processes to improve its testing services and deliver improved quality to its customers.

By improving application quality and development times, HP is helping Symphony Services in the pursuit of becoming an Instant-On Enterprise. In a world of continuous connectivity, the Instant-On Enterprise embeds technology in everything it does to serve customers, employees, partners, and citizens with whatever they need, instantly.
