Streamline QA processes with a Center of Excellence
Traditional QA processes are rendered with inefficient maintenance of application/product quality, underperforming testing functions, suboptimal utilization of people, tools, infrastructure, and inconsistent test processes across locations. Setting up a TCoE can effectively resolve these challenges for enterprises. A TCoE accrues many benefits to an organization in terms of improved quality, lesser time to market, and lower cost of ownership.
Cigniti’s Test Center of Excellence creates a centralized testing function, helps improve efficiency, optimizes people/tool utilization, and reduces testing costs. Our TCoE services combine the deep understanding of industry best practices and decade-long expertise in software testing services delivery.
Cigniti’s ability to set up cross-functional TCoE in business organizations removes redundancies, streamlines testing processes and hence accelerates the entire software testing life cycle. Our TCoE Services are unique as we not only take up the end-to-end QA ownership but also provide complimentary testing R&D expertise in the form of IP and test accelerators. To handle sporadic service demand, we also offer a ‘Shared Pool’ model of engagement.
