Mark Phillips, President of SLI Global Solutions, attended the American Association of State Highway and Transportation  Officials (AASHTO) Special Committee on Joint Development Project and Product Task Force Conference on March 3.  He presented the types of services and benefits available through Third Party Testing to the other attendees of the conference, which was held in Austin, TX.  A number of the benefits and lessons learned are based on the direct experience SLI has gained delivering these testing services. 

SLI has been providing Third Party Testing services to AASHTO since March 2010.   SLI configured a hosted environment for remote application and interface testing.   SLI also provides the testing expertise to verify installation instructions for alpha and beta releases, data migrations, and application patches and upgrades for both Oracle and SQL server environments.    Performance testing is scheduled for the Spring of 2011.
