Why You Need Testing Center of Excellence

Why You Need Testing Center of Excellence

• A testing center of excellence is a virtual
  command center that practices standardized
  automation, tools testing methodology, best
  practices, and tools. It helps in managing a
  flexible pool of available resources to confirm
  high levels of quality across applications- both
  during production and before deployment. Let us
  discuss the five reasons why businesses need the
  testing center of excellence.

2
The opaqueness of the QA processes

• The QA processes are not transparent and to
  analyze the ROI on your QA process, TCOE is
  essential. TCOE can track how much an
  organization has invested in testing and the
  amount of interest it has generated by its
  effective metric-based tracking that can measure
  the success of the QA process in terms of test
  efforts, test coverage, test effectiveness, ROI
  on testing, and defect slippage.

3
Reduction in testing time without compromising
on quality

• TCOE can help you achieve your desire of reducing
  testing time without compromising further on
  quality with its standard frameworks resulting in
  an efficient test cycle. An average reduction of
  up to 30 in the testing cycle can be achieved
  with TCOE which can considerably reduce the
  time-to-market.

4
The difficulty of Testing Resources with Right
Technical Skills

• Finding a testing resource with desired domain
  skills and technical knowledge is tough, which is
  why projects undergo high training costs. With
  TCOE, testing resources are prepared on the lines
  of LOB and technology as per their skills which
  help in proper deployment of resources across
  projects.

5
Lack of standard QA processes and no sharing of
best practices

• There is no sharing of tools, automation
  opportunities, and no. of best practices across
  teams at an organization level. There is an
  unnecessary wastage of time and effort on
  reinventing the wheel each time. TCOE regulated
  testing processes throughout the organization and
  arranges guidelines for test scripts, test
  execution, and test planning. By following this
  methodology, a reduction in the learning curve
  and the elimination of chaos arising from
  variation in testing across projects can be seen.
