Organizations face challenges like high costs, optimum resource utilization, lack of coherent automation strategy, and limited visibility into testing processes due to inconsistent testing practices and scattered QA resources. QE leaders require a centralized function to standardize testing across the organization while adhering to budget constraints and available resources. Testing Centers of Excellence address this by centralizing processes, standardizing testing practices, optimizing resources utilization, and upskilling current QA resources.
Our TCoE services are customized based on client needs and requirements. Whether the engagement is to improve testing practice for one or two projects or bring in quality mindset throughout the organization, our TCoE works towards better test maturity for your organization.
After a 6-week assessment of your current testing landscape, we create a customized TCoE roadmap aligned with your business goals. By working directly with client developers and testers team, we bring in required test automation expertise, governance, and metrics for continuous improvement. We streamline processes, ensure consistency across teams, and eliminate redundancies.
Our flexible engagements typically span 3-6 months for setup, followed by 6-12 months of optimization. This approach enhances test maturity, improving quality, performance, and security across your organization.
Advocates quality from day zero and standardizes testing practices
Fosters cross-team collaboration, mitigates risks early, and ensures compliance
Establishes metrics for data-driven decisions, and streamlines processes to accelerate delivery
Improves Test Maturity scores by implementing TMMi®
With our end-to-end test automation advisory and consulting services, we help clients move testing left, implement automation to realize its full potential and speed up release cycles.
We work with clients to implement Quality Engineering strategies like managing Culture change, establishing a center of excellence, automating all testing including regression and smoke tests, and integrating AI and ML into automation.
We ensure selecting the right tools based on clients’ tech stack. We conduct extensive PoC to understand the tool's ease of scripting, integration, and adoption curve.
Our Test Maturity Model Integration assessment identifies your current level of testing maturity and brings a shift in testing process from unmanaged, random, and ad-hoc to defined, measured, and optimized.
A Testing Center of Excellence (TCoE) is a centralized strategic function that makes QA a shared responsibility across the organization. It makes sure testing processes are consistent across all teams, helps teams to adopt best practices, and continuously provides knowledge related to upskilling and reskilling themselves.
Acting as a virtual command center, it employs standardized methodologies, automation, metrics, and tools while managing a flexible resource pool to ensure high quality applications are delivered from day zero. It streamlines knowledge management and innovation throughout the organization.
Building a Testing Center of Excellence (TCoE) typically takes 3-6 months for initial setup and followed by 6-12 months for optimization. Hera are the basic steps to establishing a TCoE:
Building TCoE can be challenging. High testing volume, complex applications, quality issues, and regulatory compliance requirements are common obstacles. You can set up your own TCoE that will require upfront investment in resources, skillsets, and considerable amount of time in understanding best practices.
But partnering with a TCoE service provider like Enhops offers expertise and tools without large upfront costs. Enhops provides customized services to improve testing practices and promote quality across the organization.
The answer lies in your specific needs and goals. You need a TCoE to reach higher QA maturity levels by balancing centralization and decentralization. If your QA processes are misaligned with business goals, projects face a skilled tester shortage, or lack transparency, a TCoE can help. It can also address the need to reduce testing time without compromising quality, establish standard QA processes, or manage frequent missed deadlines and defect leaks.
Our main TCoE services include :
