Honda’s consumer facing website is a critical part of the company’s overall marketing efforts, and a key element of the consumer experience. Having frequent new model releases and numerous enhances to the website functionality places tremendous demands on the marketing and technology teams within Honda’s Automotive & Powersports division. And with so many changes to the site being made, having a reliable and independent quality assurance process to ensure the site experience remains effective for consumers is critical. With the goal of launching new versions of the site flawlessly, on budget, and often under tight timeframes, Honda moved to an on-demand model for test execution.
Our Testing Services Team supports Honda by running website test scripts, providing usability feedback on key website functionality, and providing detailed defect-reporting. Once reported defects are corrected, the fixes are tested and regression testing is performed to ensure the overall website experience delivers as expected. Our team works as an extension to the team at Honda, and works directly in Honda’s defect-tracking system. Meeting Honda’s launch schedule is paramount; our team's size, efforts and schedules are tailored according to Honda's requirements and schedules. Our on-demand as-a-service approach provides Honda with the skills and services needed in a flexible and cost effective manner. Careful planning, an equipped testing center, skilled testing staff, and effective client coordination maximize our ability to work within Honda's tight schedules, and enable us to overcome any emerging obstacles during test execution.
