Veikkaus is a Finnish lottery and gaming company that holds the exclusive right to operate lotteries in Finland. The company provides a range of highly popular gaming entertainment products. A significant part of Veikkaus revenues are used to support the arts, sports, science and youth work.
Over the last few years, Veikkaus has invested heavily in the development of online gaming, and all its games are now available on the Internet. At peak times, the company runs up to 60,000 Internet gaming transactions and 230,000 online terminal transactions per hour. This requires exceptional stability and reliability of the underlying IT infrastructure.
Qentinel has helped Veikkaus develop its software testing for several years. At the outset of the project, we evaluated the company's own testing processes and methods, and drafted a concrete action plan based on this analysis. Our consultants have tested Veikkaus software both independently and as a part of the company's in-house test team.
Over the course of our collaboration, test quality and cost-effectiveness have improved markedly. Testing is now a closely controlled process and part of the everyday software development workflow. The test reporting processes that we implemented for Veikkaus have improved the transparency of software development while providing a realistic view of the status and risks of each project. Continuous reporting ensures that development resources are always focused in the right place at the right time.
