Celfocus is embracing testing as an essential competency and is bringing this mission to a whole new level through the Testing Centre of Excellence (TCOE)

Building a TCOE entails adopting an approach across the organization that includes processes, people and technology by delivering highly efficient testing services through knowledge, best practices and resources. In this ever-changing technology landscape, Celfocus has accomplished the benefits of a TCOE, through a framework for assessment and by building a roadmap to improve effectiveness and efficiency of the testing function:

  • Assess Testing maturity
  • Prioritize initiatives and mark quick news
  • Design and implement initiatives across the organization
  • Measure and communicate value derived from TCOE
  • Standardize and simplify processes, tools and methods
  • Promote continuous improvement

During 2017, Celfocus has implemented some key initiatives by reinforcing a culture of quality, promoting standard testing practices, consolidating testing tools and providing specialized testing services:

Root Cause Analysis for defects

By analysing issues and identifying its main causes, Root Cause Analysis (RCA), a team can take actions to prevent similar problems from occurring in the future. With several benefits, RCA process improves Testing efficiency, by taking time to think about problems from first principles and then deal with the causes rather than the effects. RCA saves costs and time, as quick fixes require staff to repeat the same tasks over and over again.

Quality Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for project delivery

This initiative consists on the implementation of measurement tools to indicate how well teams are achieving specific project delivery goals, such as Defect Density, Defect Reopen Density, Retest Density, Closed & Cancelled Defect Root Cause Densities and Defects Removal Efficiency.

Quality Assurance assessments in project delivery

Assessing quality of project delivery relies on a number of principles whose intent is to make the assessment become an effective and reliable tool that supports organization's management policies and procedures, providing objective information that the organization can act upon to continually improve the performance.

Standardized Test Execution Report

Test Execution Reports provide information regarding the status of the testing activities, including overall software quality and test execution progress against the planned progress. With TCOE’s practices, we are ensuring:

  • Standardize procedures related to test execution reports
  • Appropriate analysis of the information and metrics
  • Effective communication of the test progress and findings to other project stakeholders
  • An iterative process and a tool for continuous improvement

Quality Assurance Checklist

A quality checklist can ensure consistency and completeness in carrying out quality assurance tasks related to Entry & Exit Criteria in all project life cycle.

TCOE represents an organizational commitment to software quality. Through the initiatives implemented in 2017, TCOE intends to play an active role in the decision making in all Celfocus projects and reinforce its role as a fundamental pillar in Quality Assurance in current and future projects.

In 2017, the initiatives implemented across our organization helped reinforce a culture of quality, promoted standard testing practices, consolidated testing tools and provided specialized testing services.

In the future, TCOE will continue to assure and reinforce the use of these initiatives in all Celfocus projects as a project management tool. However, to do so we strongly believe everyone’s engagement is crucial.
