A Mature Functional Testing Framework for Improved Customer Experience


Our team at Sonar Consulting partnered with a valued client to produce a well-executed testing strategy that delivered a mature functional testing framework and an improved user experience.

The problem


Our client was undergoing a major technology transformation program during a period of significant growth.

Few permanent staff featured in a workforce predominantly made up of contract labour and technology partners.

Testing was ad-hoc and seen as an afterthought.

The effect was significant defect leakage to production, resulting in a poor customer and staff experience and negative Net Promoter Score.

How we solved it


We engaged in workshops with leadership and IT delivery teams to gain a clear picture of the organisation’s current and target state delivery methodologies.

We used the insights gained from these workshops in conjunction with our industry experience to develop a series of testing strategies across functional, automation and performance testing disciplines.

We sought and received endorsements from stakeholders for the key recommendations in our strategy.

We produced a strategy roadmap to guide the organisation through implementation, supported by strong leadership and highly experienced personnel.

The results


Sonar Consulting’s testing strategy has yielded dramatic results for the organisation:

  • The client now has a mature testing framework and methodology rivalling major institutions and is capable of providing services across functional, automation and performance.
  • The client has a stronger position with technology partners and is now able to hold them accountable for delivery and managed outcomes.
  • The client decided to retain Sonar Consulting team members to assist with delivery on complex programs of work.
  • Sonar Consulting continues to provide specialist resources and services for discrete engagements where the client does not find it cost-effective to manage projects in-house.
