Testing Engagement for a Fortune 500 Manufacturing Company

The client wanted to reduce operating costs while increasing efficiency and consistency within the IT and quality assurance organizations. Executive management mandated continuous process improvement, but the environment lacked consistent processes or tools to manage. A cost-effective software testing was needed.

Cognizant developed well-defined software testing processes for the client, including process road maps, estimation models, automation standards and other necessary features. Cognizant also established an offshore Managed Test Center (MTC) to operate and deliver software testing services. Software Components - Managed Test Center (MTC) - Subject Matter Experts (SMEs)
