State of the art

Innovative

We are committed to adding value

Reduction of total cost of testing

Improvement of time to market by faster testing

Fewer defects in production

Achievements in practice

Test cost - 30%

Test time - 15%

Defect leakage <2%

How to optimise the test function

• Identify level of testing maturity

• Implement quick wins, where possible

• Create plan to progress to a “developed” function

Immature

• Implement standardised testing processes

• Leverage offshoring capability based on standardised approaches

• Implement standardised measures to assess progress

• Extend test automation beyond regression testing

Developed

• Target waste and inefficiency removal using advanced techniques

• Collaborative working to prevent defects upstream

• Defect prevention rather than defect detection

• Continuous Improvement

State of the Art

• Deliver Shift Left service

• Optimise testing processes

Innovative

Themes for transformation

• Service Delivery

– Creation of a best in class test service

– Driving quality upstream

– Assuring improved outcomes

• Efficiency of testing processes

– Smarter test delivery processes

– Optimising use of offshore

– Leveraging productivity tools

• Test Management and Planning

– Business driven approach

– Better control through more visible and robust data

Requirement Needs for Transformation

• Reduce defect leakage into production from current levels • Increase optimization and standardization across processes • Decrease reliance on multiple third party suppliers • Model towards a heavier offshore percentage than the current (approx. 55% offshore) • Increase speed to market, need to test with reduced cycle time • Create a more streamlined cycle process to find defects early in the cycle

Key takeaways

• Risk is lowered as we guarantee Y/Y reduction in costs

• Same quality solution for lower costs

• Better test processes

• We work with you to increase the quality of the test function

• Different from MTS as we make money by making you better
