Quality assurance requirements across projects may vary, but they all must exhibit a consistent level of quality across the organization, closely tying in with company visions. A Testing Center of Excellence (TCoE) provides a framework to create a team of quality specialists who leverage the best of tools, techniques, methodologies, and processes to deliver the best possible levels of quality. Testing Centers of Excellence give testing teams a common goal aligned to general organizational or client goals, bringing more speed, agility, quality, and purpose to their processes, enabling them to deliver near-zero defect products.

• Testing Centers of Excellence are procedural frameworks.
• TCoEs standardize processes and resources across teams and functions.
• TCoEs tie in with other paradigms to reduce go-to-market times and costs.
• TCoEs help plug leakages, eliminate duplicates, and cut overhead.
