No matter what your requirements, there are key principles at the heart of any successful testing project. To ensure that you continue to focus on the core reasons for undertaking comprehensive testing in the first place, Cresta continually reinforces the six core driving principles behind its SSTM, neatly encapsulated in the acronym VICARS:

The principles of SSTM are designed to ensure your project is delivering its stated aims on budget and within time at a minimum of risk. Cresta also set great store by making sure that you have access to the information and metrics you require to keep project control.
Cresta recognises that new technologies mean that ever more sophisticated methods of automation are available, and we are always on the lookout for ways of simplifying your testing effort. Automated test packs developed for your business will represent tangible assets because they mean that testing can be reapplied 24 x 7, quite literally at the touch of a button. Furthermore, because the measurements and metrics have been arrived at independently to meet the needs of both your business and the IT function, your management team can be confident they are receiving the key data they require.
