Testing Centre Of Excellence (TCOE) Setup

Product development firms are continually improving their processes from shorter development and implementation timelines to capability in delivering high quality solutions. Keeping this in mind, Photon techno has set up Testing Center of Excellence (TCoE) to cater the testing needs and to follow up the timely delivery of quality solutions.

With many years of show in independent testing expertise, Photon techno has established TCoE to improve the release quality of the applications, deliver better business value to the internal customers of testing, improve the overall maturity of testing, accelerated testing and optimize the testing costs across enterprises.

Photon, depending on your QA needs, we help to set up an eminent organization by a BOST model, where we build, operate, stabilize and transfer the ownership to our clients and also we continue to direct the overall quality effort. While reducing efforts and cost, we run-through to improve the quality of systems by achieving industry standards.

QA Maturity & Process Assessment

With an independent evaluation of the organization’s QA practices against industry standards one can get an imprint on where they stand with respect to these standards. More prominently, the right valuation of development in testing processes becomes serious in arranging out the blue-print for a QA/testing transformation program that would create the division’s readiness to challenge the QA needs.

Therefore, it has become a necessity that organizations make a thorough analysis of their QA procedures regularly to confirm that their delivery competences and QA processes are well-organized, operative, accessible and agile.

For augmenting the overall quality of their IT applications, Photon, a QA specialist partner, would assist you in housing a roadmap. Photon’s solution for the client is based on the proprietary iRAMP model – that focuses on a phased toll-gate driven QA process enhancement approach.



Process Assessment includes the following deliverables


To aid you to bring about relevant process changes and modifications to streamline your QA process, Photon’s QA process enhancement service comprises of planning a QA process roadmap specifying main purposes, short term and long term responsibilities as well as cost and time estimations.

  • Valuation of the people, process and tools
  • Directions to significant areas of enhancement & approach to execute those enhancements

Test Tool Assessment Services

Most IT organizations are facing difficulties to cope up with the ever changing market trends such as Agile, Cloud and Mobility. IT leaders and QA heads are always contemplating to improve the quality and reduce the test cycle time while there are increasing constraints on resources and budget. Automated software testing is an industry accepted strategy to improve time to market, efficiency of QA process and test coverage.

Finding the right testing tools is an important contributor towards optimizing and accelerating the existing QA processes. This can be achieved with a well-planned and controlled tool selection process. Photon techno Software is a tool agnostic shop, which offer complete tool assessment services based on automation coverage, support for specific set of technology /platform, roadmap for RoI, etc.



Approach


  • Our selection of tools, framework and methodology has the ability to analyse, advise and apply an effective test plan.
  • Support for technologies and platforms such as desktop, web-based, mobile (Android and iOS), database, flash/flex applications to name a few
  • Review existing process documentation and current practices
  • Document and present the objective assessment findings and prioritized recommendations
  • The test tool(s) that is best suited keeping both technology and costs in mind
  • Return on Investment (RoI) of automation to help you take a go/no-go decision
  • The automation framework that you have to adopt as part of the implementation
  • Demo of test scripts for a sample test case

ROI – Return On Investment

Product development firms are continually improving their processes from shorter development and implementation timelines to expertise to deliver high quality solutions. With newer and faster development, the testing need is incredibly in a higher rate. Keeping this in mind, Photon techno has set up Testing Centers of Excellence (TCoE) to cater the testing needs and to follow up the timely delivery.

With many years of show in independent testing expertise, Photon techno have established testing centers of excellence to improve the release quality of the applications, deliver better business value to the internal customers of testing, improve the overall maturity of testing & optimize the testing costs across enterprises.

“RoI calculation should be viewed as just one component, while carrying out an evaluation for a Test Automation initiative, not this alone.


Need to assess return on investment


  • The high price of branded Test Automation Tools both in terms of licenses and recurring AMC
  • The cost of effort to automate which is determined by the complexity of the product, tool and availability of right talent
  • The notion that idle time / spare time of the internal team could be deployed towards automation.

Going Beyond RoI

Test Automation initiatives should rest on fair grounds and must be viewed with a broader mindset. There are qualitative questions which need to be asked

What is the cost of product failure & attendant loss of brand image?

Does it help to fulfill comprehensive test coverage on a sustainable & repetitive basis?

Does it improve
Go-to-Market speed?

Does it eliminate human errors induced by the test regimen?

Does it help to free technical resource time for taking up key product development?

Does it reduce the
dependence on a Tester?

Technology Escrowing Services

An extremely niche offering that is used in Technology Escrow engagements. Technology Escrow Service helps to ensure the basic license validation details of the owned software – licensor is adequate and complete. For any critical software, technical verification testing can be conducted on deposit materials.

Service Offerings Include


  • File listing audit – Build/Production, Test Environments, Build Process, Packaging process and deployment process
  • Platform audit (hardware and software prerequisite)
  • Database audit
  • Build/production and compile audit
  • Application installation testing to ensure functionality
  • Submit a test verification report based on the study
