Testing teams are constantly under pressure to reduce development time without compromising quality. Traditional methods of quality assurance fail as they just cannot keep up with the challenges in constantly delivering software that is time-bound, robust<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0and efficient. This has prompted more and more companies to lean toward the idea of establishing a centralized testing service.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A testing center of excellence (TCoE) is a framework where testing is maintained as a centralized service and shared across the organization.<\/span>\u00a0It is a core unit that involves standardized testing processes, formal metrics, required tools, and expert professionals.<\/span>\u00a0An amalgamation of tools, QA processes, and human resources, TCoE empowers organizations to implement test automation the right way while enriching manual testing productivity and outcomes. They can achieve a higher QA maturity level as TCoE offers the benefit of scalability and robustness of QA function within an organization.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The answer is \u2018yes\u2019 if any one of the following SEVEN CRITERIA appl<\/span>ies<\/span>\u00a0to your organization:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It might seem overwhelming to set up such a centralized unit. But like all good things, a TCoE too requires only a one-time investment of time, resources, and efforts. The benefits that it offers in return far outweigh the investments, thus, giving the desired ROI to the organizations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Organizations that have adopted TCoE have reported an average cost reduction of 35% over\u00a0<\/span>3 years<\/span>. Som<\/span>e of the other benefits of TCoE are that<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>it\u00a0<\/span>brings in more agility to QA and helps to establish a continuous improvement process driven by metrics. Setting up a TCoE does require\u00a0<\/span>a\u00a0<\/span>certain amount of\u00a0<\/span>change along with support and commitment from the top management. But you always have the option of partnering with a company that already has TCoE capability.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ci<\/span>gniti\u2019s unique TCoE services combine\u00a0<\/span>a<\/span>\u00a0deep understanding of industry best practices and decade<\/span>s-<\/span>long expertise in software testing services delivery.\u00a0<\/span>We have established\u00a0<\/span>Software Testing Centers of Excellence<\/span><\/a>\u00a0around Mobile, Performance, and Security Testing.
