The high incident rates of failures under legacy software development methodologies caused several companies to go obsolete. The staggering number of failures and lost revenues created an intense need for a robust mechanism to control and ensure quality. Quality Engineering, by shifting testing to the left, has answered that need quite efficiently. It broke the shackles that hindered free flow of critical information between different teams.<\/p>\n
QE has bulldozed the walls around siloed software development teams. It has laid out a smooth, straight pipeline and a continuous feedback cycle for continuous integration and continuous deployment. Instead of checking a product on quality parameters after a code is developed, quality engineering promotes building excellence into the code itself.<\/p>\n
With the emergence of digital technologies, the demand for agility and quality is on a rapid climb in the market. To match that pace, it is critical to shift the mindset as well as organization culture into dropping the reactive approach and adopting a proactive outlook. Quality Engineering services not only enable faster time to market, but also reduce testing costs while improving customer satisfaction and product quality.<\/p>\n
By guaranteeing maximum test coverage through shift-left strategy, quality engineering facilitates continuous integration and deployment. As businesses, users, and user experience attract the key focus more than the defects, establishing a Quality Engineering Center of Excellence or QE CoE becomes essential. A QE Center of Excellence offers a complete view of what, when, where, why, who, and how in an SDLC. It optimizes the use of available people, tools, and processes, promotes reusability, and reduces efforts and testing costs.<\/p>\n
Why you need a QE CoE?<\/strong><\/p>\n Gartner defines a Center of Excellence<\/a> as a physical or virtual center of knowledge concentrating existing expertise and resources in a discipline or capability to attain and sustain world-class performance and value.<\/p>\n A QE CoE encompasses every aspect of a product development life cycle, including management, design, operations, and legal. By bringing resources from IT management, product management, software and systems engineering, and system operations under one roof, such centers of excellence leverage the skills and expertise of the best to ensure reliability, security, and safety of services.<\/p>\n Quality, time, and costs are the three major benefits that a QE CoE brings to the table. But these three benefits are only the tip of the iceberg. Since, a QE CoE is pillared on the overall mission and vision of a business, the iceberg of QE CoE benefits is much deeper than what appears on the surface. They affect the very core of business processes by changing the fundamental way of executing processes.<\/p>\n To conclude<\/strong><\/p>\n Through a system of shared resources, a center of excellence for quality engineering propagates a collaborative culture with a vision to attain the desired business goals. Instead of individual metrics, such QE CoE is measured and aligned as per the whole organization\u2019s objectives. It enhances an organization\u2019s capabilities by driving excellence out of mediocrity, ultimately generating high user satisfaction and better revenues.<\/p>\n Cigniti\u2019s Quality Engineering services<\/a> cover the Software Testing Life cycle, Test Consulting and Test Advisory services, Test Implementation, and Managed Testing services including Test Environment Management and Test Data Management.
