SDT is a software testing services company. We don’t sell tools. We don’t license frameworks. We deploy our patented Keyword Test Automation methodology as a managed service – designed, built, and maintained by experienced testing specialists who have done this at enterprise scale for over three decades.
SDT works with both open source and commercial testing tools — whichever best fits your environment, stack, and budget. We integrate with what you already have, recommend open source where it makes sense, and bring in proprietary tools only when the ROI justifies it. You’ll never be required to purchase a license or adopt a platform just to work with us. What we bring is the methodology, the expertise, and the discipline to make any toolchain perform.
Not sure where your testing gaps are? SDT’s structured Baseline Assessment gives you expert findings, a prioritized roadmap, and zero risk — with the full cost credited toward your engagement.
Every SDT discovery engagement starts with a structured mini-assessment — giving you expert findings, a clear improvement roadmap, and zero risk. The full cost is credited toward any follow-on engagement.
SDT works with your team to define project scope and priorities. You complete the SDT Pre-Assessment Checklist and share representative documents — test plans, automation approaches, org charts, defect reports, and more.
SDT deploys its proprietary assessment framework, customized for your environment. We interview 2–5 key stakeholders to evaluate people, process, tooling, and organizational structure — identifying immediate wins and long-term improvements.
SDT presents findings directly to leadership — a clear, prioritized set of changes and improvements to testing. Priorities are adjusted based on your goals and driven by ongoing collaboration throughout the engagement.

SDT engineers implement automation underneath.
The separation is what makes the framework maintainable at scale.
The central framework that powers maintainable, scalable test automation across all platforms and technologies.
Plain language keyword libraries are the secret to Automation Testing success.
Our AI, semantic, active keywords bridge the connection between decision makers and developers.
Knowledge and ownership transfer seamlessly to your team without framework lock-in.
Get from assessment to production-ready regression coverage faster than traditional approaches.
Framework grows with your application without exponential maintenance costs.
Modern applications communicate primarily at the API level, not the UI. SDT specializes in testing at the layer where your software actually runs, designing and executing API regression suites that validate functionality, reliability, performance, and security across your entire service architecture.
Because API testing operates independently of the user interface, it produces faster, more stable, and more maintainable test coverage—especially in microservices environments where services evolve independently.
Some organizations don’t need more tests—they need to rebuild how testing works across the entire delivery organization. SDT’s test transformation service is for enterprises that are ready to make a structural change: moving from a reactive, manual-heavy testing model to a systematic, automated, confidence-driven one.
SDT experts conduct a comprehensive assessment of your current test organization, processes, tools, and team structure, then produce a prioritized transformation roadmap including a Test Center of Excellence model tailored to your environment.
"We look at the tools, environments, onshore and offshore models, provider relationships and much more. We complete a very detailed assessment that provides a clear understanding of the rationale behind the process, with visibility into the end goal so that the entire enterprise can embrace a new direction."
Once the Keyword regression library is built, SDT can maintain and evolve it on an ongoing basis—extending coverage as your software grows, tuning execution health, and keeping test assets aligned with product changes. Your team gets the release confidence of a fully managed regression capability without the internal overhead of maintaining it. SDT becomes an extension of your testing organization—staying accountable to your release cadence and your quality outcomes.
The SDT Keyword framework is platform-agnostic by design. It has been deployed successfully across every major technology environment in enterprise software.

SDT assembles the right consulting team for your engagement, reviews your existing test assets, proposes a process and tooling solution tailored to your stack, and validates it with a working Proof of Concept before full build begins.
SDT creates and manages your test plan, improves test design, and implements both automated and manual test suites. Existing tests are leveraged and extended — not thrown away. Regular progress reports and metrics at every stage.
SDT executes your tests directly in support of application releases — maintaining coverage health, extending the regression library as your product evolves, and ensuring quality holds as your codebase grows.
These aren’t projections. They’re documented outcomes from actual SDT engagements.
On Automated Regression Test Execution Document processing software provider 2-year SDT engagement covering Desktop UI, Web UI, Mobile & API.
In Test Design & Automation Time Leading marketing technology platform; two engineers in two months vs. three engineers in four months using prior methods.
Schedule or Cost Growth on Full Regression Automation Lockheed Martin GTN program; full automated functional and scenario-based regression delivered on time and on budget.
Potential with Continuous Usage Across Releases Keyword framework assets are reusable and maintainable; ROI compounds as the library grows.
A software provider developing a document processing platform—covering collection, classification, data extraction, machine learning-based handwriting recognition, and multi-system content delivery—engaged SDT for a two-year testing partnership. SDT designed and built a scalable Keyword-Driven test automation framework covering Desktop UI, Web UI, Mobile, and APIs. All test assets were integrated directly into the CI/CD pipeline for continuous regression execution. SDT also performed exploratory functional testing across all releases and maintained test assets through multiple product versions.
Our experts will walk through your current testing framework and infrastructure, tell you honestly where the gaps are, and show you what a Keyword Test Automation engagement would look like for your environment. No tools to purchase. No frameworks to license. Just proven, state-of-the-practice software testing services delivered by experts who have done this for over three decades.
