We have decided that most of our original objectives for this portal can be better met by the new nFocus web site and blog which is being launched soon. Thank you for all your support and contributions and we look forward to seeing you on the blog.

Small and Medium sized Enterprises face the same challenges in developing reliable software as larger organisations. However the SME does not always have the budget or flexibility to deploy dedicated test teams and proprietary test tools.

Having access to practical help on how to get the best from your testing is the key to developing existing resources and using them effectively.

Always focusing on the value that good testing brings to your business, thetestingportal aims to become the reference point for SMEs wishing to invest in testing.

Through this portal and relationships with other interest groups, we hope to reach people involved in software development and testing to:

• demonstrate the value of testing
• help implement a testing process in a practical manner
• support those who wish to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of existing testing processes
• develop a community that enables you to share experiences
• highlight the developments in the testing world drawing on the benefits whilst accepting the constraints of the smaller organisation
• provide links to other internet resources specialising in testing
