Test Center of Excellence
IT organizations looking to improve their testing practices often opt to centralize some or all test-related activities in a Testing Center of Excellence (COE). – Forrester
A Testing Center of Excellence (TCoE) is a centralized unit comprising testing processes, people, tools that operate as shared services in order to provide testing services with optimal benefits across the test organization. TCoE accrues many benefits to an organization in terms of improved quality, lesser time to market and lower cost of ownership.
Organizations that are facing challenges in maintaining application/product quality, underperforming testing functions, suboptimal utilization of people, tools, infrastructure, and inconsistent test processes across locations need to go for setting up TCoE to create a centralized testing function, achieve improved efficiency, optimized people/tool utilization and reduced testing costs. Implementing the recommendations by a TCoE enables enterprises to build an efficient, dynamic and lean testing function.
ArkSol’s Testing Center of Excellence (TCoE) provides a collaborative framework that augments your test organization, processes, and environment to address testing pain points and achieve optimum results. The model combines a deep understanding of industry best practices and decade long expertise in software testing services delivery. Our model is unique as we take up the end-to-end QA ownership, and also provide complimentary testing R&D expertise in the form of IP and test accelerators. To handle sporadic service demands, we also provide a ‘Shared Pool’ model of engagement.
