Key Findings & Highlights:
TCS had initially set up its Quality Engineering & Transformation (QET) division, then under a different name, in 1998. The company promotes the notion of quality engineering rather than quality assurance to highlight that it has shifted its portfolio toward new automation capabilities, digital technologies, cloud usage, and AI.
QET was a horizontal service line with P&L responsibility, aligned vertically, mirroring TCS’ vertical structure. QET is now a CoE governing most of TCS’ software testing service activities, e.g.:
- Training
- Partnerships
- Pre-sales consulting
- Solutioning on select projects
- Delivery of specialized capabilities. Functional delivery is, however, performed by TCS’ vertical units (ISUs).
