BCX, a leading provider of advanced technology solutions across Africa, is proud to announce the launch of its innovative Testing as a Service (TaaS) offering, powered by the new proprietary platform, Smar-Test. This marks a significant advancement in software testing, providing businesses with flexible, scalable, and cost-effective solutions that address the challenges of today’s fast-moving digital landscape.
TaaS is designed to change the way businesses approach software testing and quality assurance. With Smar-Test, BCX introduces a self-service, on-demand portal that allows businesses to manage their testing needs effortlessly. Clients can select from a range of tests, such as penetration testing, UI testing, and load testing, and receive immediate, actionable insights into their software’s performance.
“Smar-Test is a breakthrough in the software testing industry,” said John Francis, Senior Manager: DevSecOps at BCX. “It provides businesses with complete control over their testing processes, enabling them to test exactly what they need, when they need it, without the complexity and high costs typically associated with traditional testing methods.”
What sets Smar-Test apart is its ease of use and automation. Powered by AI-driven capabilities, it delivers detailed, real-time reports quickly, often within hours. The system automatically analyses results, identifies critical issues, and even suggests actionable steps for remediation. This level of automation speeds up the testing cycle, reducing time-to-market and helping businesses stay ahead in a competitive environment.
The platform’s AI-driven capabilities, combined with detailed, real-time reporting, provide organisations with the ability to optimise their applications and address vulnerabilities proactively. By automating the testing process, businesses can dramatically reduce testing costs by up to 50%, improve test coverage by up to 75%, and accelerate testing cycles by as much as 30%. These improvements not only help businesses reduce operational costs but also enhance the quality, stability, and performance of their applications, ensuring they meet the demands of today’s users.
With TaaS, businesses no longer need to manage complex infrastructure or rely on fixed resources. The service is entirely scalable, enabling businesses to adjust testing volumes based on demand and only pay for the tests they use. Whether it’s functional testing, security testing, or performance testing, BCX’s TaaS offering ensures comprehensive coverage and top-tier quality assurance at a fraction of the cost of in-house teams.
“BCX’s TaaS, coupled with Smar-Test, provides a level of flexibility, cost-efficiency, and precision that helps businesses streamline their software quality processes,” said Siya Mpahlwa, Chief Commercial Officer at BCX. “We are offering not just a service, but a strategic advantage to companies looking to optimise their testing procedures and reduce operational costs.”
Through the launch of TaaS and Smar-Test, BCX is setting a new standard in software testing, empowering businesses of all sizes to optimise their applications quickly and affordably—without the need for extensive infrastructure or dedicated resources.
