Test Center of Excellence (TCoE)
Writing by raja.neravati@applabs.com on Monday, 28 of June, 2010 at 6:15 am
Over the last few years, customers have recognized the importance and need of Independent Testing and have engaged AppLabs to deliver services like Functional Testing, Automation and Performance Testing. These quality initiatives were mostly for individual projects or to resolve a specific business problem. While this approach helped resolve the problem at hand, it was not scalable and we believed could better meet the overall customer needs in terms of cost savings, reusability and improving time to market.
In enterprise customers, this approach posed even bigger problems like usage of multiple tools, lack of standardization and consistency in delivery. Using careful analysis and market research, we validated the business case with several ‘C” level executives. We thus created SCORE methodology as a response to this business problem comprising of proven methodologies, tools and templates. Our proprietary SCORE (Standardize Centralize Optimize Review Expand) methodology has a practical approach of transforming QA, organization-wide with phased implementation and checkpoints to validate the progress. This framework is helping us deliver Test Center of Excellence (TCoE) services with realization of customer goals much faster than the traditional discreet approach thereby reducing time to market and overall costs. Since the launch of SCORE / TCoE, we see almost 8 out of 10 customers opting for this approach and realizing its benefits.
