This NelsonHall vendor assessment analyzes CSC’s offerings and capabilities in software testing.
NelsonHall’s software testing vendor assessment for CSC is a comprehensive assessment of CSC’s software testing offerings and capabilities designed for:
The report provides a comprehensive and objective analysis of CSC’s software testing offerings, capabilities, and market and financial strength, including:
Since its spin-off of the former North America Public Sector unit (and its subsequent merger with SRA into CSRA), CSC has changed scope: the company had pro-forma revenues of $8.1bn in FY 2015 and its headcount is ~56k.
CSC has a dual background in software testing. In 2007, CSC set up an independent testing practice as a spinoff from Covansys, a company acquired by CSC in 2007. Over time, CSC has incorporated several units, which had developed various areas of expertise, into its main testing practice. These units included in the U.K. (test consulting and advisory services) and, in Bulgaria ISV product testing and other centers. In September 2011, CSC announced the acquisition of then India’s largest software testing pure-play AppLabs. AppLabs had a headcount of 2.5k (of which 2.0k in India) and NelsonHall estimated revenues and EBIT margin of respectively $100m and 15%. The acquisition of AppLabs doubled CSC’s Testing Practice number of career testers to ~5.5k in 2011 and to combined revenues of ~$250m (NelsonHall estimates).
Testing Services (TS), CSC’s testing practice, is a horizontal practice (out of a total of seven horizontal lines) within Application Services, itself a unit of CSC’s Global Business Solutions (GBS). Testing Services is a full testing practice: this means it has its own P&L, solutioning, IPs and accelerators TCoE, and also responsibility over delivery.
