Succeed in your digital transformation projects
Faced with a growing need for adaptability, it is imperative to bring together business challenges, objectives and constraints with technological means.
It is this same convergence of business experience, support know-how and test phase management expertise that we put at the service of your users’ satisfaction.
Practice must be a space for development. Sharing practices and the development of employability within a community are essential. The targeted training offer and the operational support of experts contribute to this. I am happy to lead it.
David NOWAK | Practice Leader Business & Testing – Consort Group
A commitment in the Agile world
In a context of major changes in our working methods around large-scale IT projects, we can only praise the contribution of agile methodologies (DevOps, Agile, etc.). We are convinced that the success of these methodologies depends above all on the renewal of managerial culture, the transformation of organizations, new project cultures and new architectures that everyone will be able to implement.
In response, Consort Group trains all roles:
- Directors
- Project Managers
- Product Owners
- Scrum Masters
- Business Analyst
- Front-End, Back-End, FullStack Developer
- QA, Technical and Functional QA, QA Lead in Agile good practices and ceremonies.
Control of your applications
The success of a project depends on the intrinsic quality of the application developed or the systems implemented. Our QA consultants accompany you throughout your projects to guarantee the reliability of your applications in production, whether providing technical assistance, grouped technical assistance or through industrial service centres.
Our experts also accompany the transformation and putting in operation of your services towards more industrial organizations seeking to:
- preserve your brand image (reduce response times) ;
- secure your investments (marketing events, TV appearances, migration, MEP, etc.);
- ensure the best conversion rate;
- optimize your costs (sizing infrastructures to meet business challenges).
Green Testing as a common link
In parallel with the methodological and tooling evolutions providing precise control of application quality, and in-line with the eco-design best practices, which tend to spread within IT departments, the expert consultants of Consort Group innovate by creating, testing and sharing Green Testing best practices.
Every stakeholder is taught about the analysis and reduction of the digital footprint of the tested applications (Web & Mobile) as well as the environmental impact of our own activities (Processes, Tools, Testing Methodology).

In workshops, our consultants use concrete, tried and tested methods as well as concepts to illustrate user stories and remove any ambiguity at the lowest possible cost (“3 amigos”, Acceptance Test Driven Development, Behavior Driven Development, Gherkin (Given-When-Then) test design, etc.).
Our beliefs: realism, understanding and clarity of objectives.
