SDT works with technology executives — CIOs, CTOs, VPs of Software Development, VPs of QA, COOs, and business leaders with direct accountability for release velocity, software quality, and the cost of getting it wrong.
If your organization is living with failed test automation, unpredictable release cycles, or a QA function that can’t scale with the business — that’s a leadership problem, not just a technical one. We work at that level.
SDT is not a generalist testing firm. We do not send proposals to committees. Every conversation begins with a senior SDT architect and a qualified executive who has both the authority and the urgency to act. If that’s you — or one of your peers — we want to hear from you.
Share your testing challenges with us and our experts will respond with a tailored solution within 48 hours. Ready to move faster? Book a meeting and let’s get your project started today.
We respond to every submission from a qualified decision-maker. If you’re a developer, a QA engineer, or someone researching on behalf of your organization, we’d encourage you to share this conversation with whoever owns your testing strategy.
This page is designed for that person.

You have direct responsibility for software quality, testing strategy, or QA engineering in your organization
You're evaluating whether your current testing approach can scale with your product
You've had testing failures that reached production and are ready to fix the underlying problem, not the symptoms
You have the authority to engage an outside testing partner or recommend one to those who do, and your organization is budgeting for a solution
Most testing engagements start with months of discovery, vague proposals, and no real answers until the contract is signed. The SDT Base Assessment is different — it delivers an expert diagnosis of exactly where your testing practice stands and a clear, actionable roadmap to get it where it needs to be.
In a single structured engagement, our senior testing architects review your current environment, evaluate your existing frameworks, and tell you the truth about what’s working, what isn’t, and what it would take to build a regression library you can actually trust.
The Base Assessment is designed for QA Directors, VPs of Engineering, and technical leaders who are responsible for testing outcomes and are evaluating whether their current approach can carry them forward. It is not an introductory sales call.
If you are managing a testing organization with real complexity — existing automation that’s becoming expensive to maintain, a regression library that’s lost the team’s trust, or a framework that can’t keep up with your release cadence — this assessment is built for you.
$5,000 Conducted remotely and efficiently. Deliverables include a written findings report and executive briefing. Assessment fee is applicable toward any subsequent 6-month+ SDT engagement.
We examine your existing automation architecture — how it's structured, how maintainable it is, and whether it can scale with your product. If it's built on a fragile scripting foundation, we'll show you exactly where it breaks down.
We assess the health of your current regression library — coverage gaps, maintenance debt, false positives, and the real cost of keeping it alive. You'll leave with an honest picture of what you have and what it's worth.
We evaluate the tools and platforms in your current testing environment against what's available and what's appropriate for your scale, industry, and team structure. No tool advocacy — just an objective assessment of fit.
We identify where SDT's patented Keyword Test Automation methodology would deliver the highest impact in your environment
At the close of the day, you receive a structured findings report and a direct briefing with SDT leadership — prioritized recommendations, risk areas, and a clear path forward.
