Vendor Analysis
published on Jan 29, 2019
Report Overview:
TCS had initially set up its Quality Engineering & Transformation (QET), then under a different name, in 1998. QET was a horizontal service line with P&L responsibility and aligned by vertical, mirroring TCS's vertical structure.
In FY18, TCS initiated its Agile Strategy which implies all application services activities will be aligned around agile by FY20. As part of this transformation, the company changed the scope of QET from a horizontal line to governing most of TCS's software testing service activities to focusing on non-linear growth through test platforms.
TCS was one of the early testing service vendors, emphasizing the notion of QA in this market, investing from 2010 onwards in IPs and platforms, and in its digital testing services portfolio since 2013. QET continues to invest in both IP and service portfolios; examples include TCS Digital Video Assurance and BITS, its big data testing IP.
As part of its IP creation, QET has been involved in the creation of two significant IPs: Customer Experience Assurance Platform (CXAP), and Smart QE Platform.
NelsonHall estimates that approximately 40k career testers work across the different ISUs of TCS.
