Transforming platforms with expert analysis, innovative methods, and automation

With reforms and tax credits created by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the IRS relies on technology including the ACA Information System and the Information Sharing Reporting-Sharing (IRS-S) system to assist with administration. These systems provide a secure, FISMA-compliant capability to calculate, track, and validate tax and related provisions of the ACA, for both individuals and businesses, while also determining eligibility for health insurance. All phases of systems development, problem-solving and automation require a highly skilled IT partner to deliver effective, efficient solutions related to essential business tasks.

To support the IRS in its mission, our team provides functional and IT analysis, design, development, integration, documentation, and implementation support for system deployment in support of both systems. Together with government teams, we analyze and design business systems for applications such as finance, accounting, human resources, and other enterprise systems. We also manage test scripts and service requirements, and work closely with end users on project development and implementation.

Applying strong experience in testing multi-tier applications in both client/server and web architecture on Windows, UNIX, and Linux platforms, our team analyzes system and business requirements, designing documents, and developing test plans, risk analysis, test cases, test procedures, test scripts and test data for various projects. Our understanding of waterfall, Agile, and iterative methodologies ensures flexibility and cohesion with preferred work styles.

We routinely use innovative software testing methodologies, procedures and techniques such as black box, functional, GUI, system integration testing, end-to-end, UAT, smoke, and regression testing. Our team has strong expertise in writing test plans, test scripts, and test cases within an agile environment, including use of REST, XML and SOAP UI. With substantial knowledge of QA test strategy, design, and implementation, our team has supported the testing and release of mission-critical applications for many years. Our approach includes manual and automated test solutions for client/server and web applications.

With a steadfast, experienced partner, the IRS is able to execute against its mission with effective systems that are well designed and rigorously tested. The partnership has resulted in numerous accolades for our testing support, including three excellence awards from our IRS clients.
