Test Centers of Excellence

A Test Center of Excellence is a long-term strategy and commitment to improve application quality enterprise wide by analyzing, standardizing and optimizing the technology, process and resources through introduction of best practices, adoption of industry standards and technological innovation.

The idea of centralizing resources, processes and technologies to achieve cost effective results enterprise wide is nothing new.  The question is how do you measure the efficiency and effectiveness of a central Quality Assurance team on the software development lifecycle?

IOVIO introduces Test Centers of Excellence modelled on the industry standard TMMi (Test Maturity Model Integrated) reference model.  The Test Maturity Model Integration has been developed to complement the existing CMMI framework.  It provides a structured presentation of maturity levels, allowing for standard TMMi assessments and certification, enabling a consistent deployment of the standards and the collection of industry metrics.

Through this integration of the TMMi model, IOVIO can help your organization develop an implementation roadmap for a Quality Assurance Center of Excellence which will not only deliver results and improve the maturity of Quality Assurance throughout your organization but is also measurable through each stage of the process meaning that it can be independantly validated to ensure you are improving and getting the results you need.

The service is focused on a 5 stage maturity development process starting with an initial assesment phase, to determines the current maturity level of Quality Assurance within your organization, then defines a roadmap with clear goals and measurable steps to increase the maturity level right through governance and innovation.
