Coforge setup Product Testing CoE based on the following four tenets,
- Consistently delivering high quality by adopting a customer-centric testing approach.
- Driving Speed by accelerating the testing lifecycle.
- Reducing Cost through automation and optimization.
- Driving qe transformation through innovation and continuous improvement.
The key task at the beginning was to build a team on techno-domain specialists, capable of providing testing services across their products. We started with a core team of techno-domain specialists for their three service lines, Passenger, Airport and Government. The core team understood the products, created product documentation and started providing testing services. This core team then leveraging the documentation created a Knowledge Academy specific to the client, which enabled to be trained a ready pool of flex team resources to provide elastic capacity for growing business needs.
Our Product Testing CoE engagement involved:
- Providing end-to-end testing services as per customer agreed plan and defined SLAs.
- Deploying domain experienced resources involved in product implementation testing and business users training.
- We provide all functional (system, system integration, end-to-end business process testing) and non-functional testing (performance, security, accessibility, usability, operational acceptance testing) services including acceptance testing of changes in the products.
- Developed test automation frameworks for testing API, web, mobile, desktop, mainframe and messaging applications.
- Accelerated testing by implementing utilities for test data generation, service virtualization, triggering messages, automated performance log analysis and automated test designing.
- Driving industry best practices, tools & techniques using innovation and improvement center (IIC) focusing on automation frameworks, new cognitive technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.
- Partner with customer to achieve their business objective and needs continuous feedback and improvement.
- Our engagement model evolved over the years from T&M to Fixed Price to Fixed Capacity to Menu based pricing for each testing type to SLA driven Transaction-based pricing model.
- We defined a unique TSR (Testing Service Request) workflow in ALM for tracking the testing requests and maintain transparency. This enabled the client to optimize testing costs.
The impact.
The ‘Impact’ section summarizes the achieved results and improvements resulting from the solution in a tabular form. It includes both qualitative benefits experienced by the client and the relevant quantitative metrics (e.g., percentage improvements, time saved).
Example:
< 60 days
Taken for complete IAM service transformation
Zero
Disruption of services with the new IAM solution
24/7
Automation of the complete IAM process.
20%
Improvement in employee awareness
- Speed: 40% to 50% reduction of test cycle time
- Quality: No critical defects in UAT and production
- Cost: Reduced cost of rework by 50-70% defects contention within sprint by in-Sprint test automation
- Test Automation: 70% to 80% automation of business-critical test scenarios & regression test cases. Multiple bulk test data management utilities were developed to reduce test data management time by 50%.
