BERLIN, June 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Diaz & Hilterscheid Unternehmensberatung GmbH announced today that they presented their Quality Assurance Solution for Financial Services Customers at the Compuware Partner Summit 2007 (http://www.compuware.com/partnersummit/) event in Detroit. Oliver Rupnow, Senior Managing Partner and Head of Diaz & Hilterscheid Quality Services presented their process for developing reusable test assets for financial applications and reducing the cost and time involved with effective Quality Management.
This solution has highly increased the efficiency of the software testing processes in several financial institutions. Because financial products are very similar worldwide and to a high degree standardized, standard test portfolios can easily be defined. These test portfolios increase the effectiveness of Quality Assurance in the software lifecycle, and enable the development of reusable assets.
"Diaz & Hilterscheid has established itself as a reliable service provider in financial markets and has won a good reputation for cost efficient solutions in the fields of QM and QA," said Jamie McGuffie, Senior Vice President, Partner Business Development, Compuware Corporation. "Diaz developed this successful 360 solution as part of our Solutions Partner Program. Their success story was very inspiring for our partners attending this year's Compuware Partner Summit."
"The professional combination of banking expertise and many years of experience in IT Quality Management Processes as well as in Quality Assurance, gives us a substantial competitive advantage in the market," says Jose M. Diaz Delgado, founder and Managing Director from Diaz & Hilterscheid.
Diaz & Hilterscheid and Compuware have demonstrated their proficiency with customized quality packages in several projects within the German financial market. The Kondor+ Upgrade 2.6 at a financial customer was the pilot project of the partnership in which Diaz & Hilterscheid's financial and QA expertise was supported by Compuware's technical consultants using the test tools CaseMaker, Compuware TestPartner and FileAID-C/S. Kondor+ is a front office application of Reuters Financial Software (RFS).
