When CIOs decide to invest in quality and test, they partner with Software Development Technologies to provide the leadership and required intellectual property to architect and accelerate the implementation of the Enterprise Software Test Center of Excellence (CoE). Implementation, validation and refinement of the Enterprise Software Test CoE are performed using the client’s application projects, with SDT consultants working side by side with client testers providing mentoring and training as needed.
SDT uses a four step approach to transform a testing organization:
- Assessment – SDT analyzes a test function’s capabilities to determine its effectiveness and to identify its strengths and opportunities for improvement.
- Set Test Transformation Goals – SDT identifies critical goals that guide the test transformation.
- Acceleration and Deployment – SDT provides its proven IP to ensure your Enterprise Software Test Center of Excellence is operational as quickly as possible.
- Drive Results – SDT works closely with the client testers to drive the Enterprise Software Test Center of Excellence towards best in class status.
A well-conceived software testing strategy can put an organization on track for greater innovation, growth and success. The CIO can rest assured that projects will be deployed with higher quality and fewer post-release defects, and be secure in the knowledge that the company’s investments are demonstrating a significant return.
