Customer Benefits
 Service Areas: Enterprise Applications
Testing, Performance and Automation Testing,
Content Management , Oracle Fusion and
Integration testing.
 HCL’s Test Factory in a Box [TFiB] along
with our BATS Asset Methodology process
framework for transition, execution and
process management was extensively
utilized to help our client address process
gaps and streamline the application area of
SDLC [Software Development Life Cycle].
We quickly ramped up from a 2 to a 32
member team within 6 months, fully
implementing TFiB and PM Smart and were
able to show a USD 336K value add to our
client within the first quarter of the
engagement through the development of a
data comparison tool
 360 K $ Value added to the engagement within
first 6 months, this is 50% return on billing [not
investment] as a value to customer.
Business Objectives


Our client had just undergone a takeover and
faced the challenge of streamlining its
Applications Portfolio, while retiring and
enhancing certain critical enterprise
applications
HCL was to provide APO, QA consulting and
QA managed services with gap analysis and
focus on CTB [Change the Business]
We followed a 3 phased approach:
1.
As –Is: We conducted a test consulting
exercise and Application Portfolio
analysis to develop critical reports for
analysis
2.
Recommendations: We recommended
process changes and solutions for gaps
in technical expertise, together with TFiB
implementation as agreed upon by our
client

Cost of Quality – Our Philosophy
Key parameters of CoQ
Introduce CoQ led approach
• Identify CoQ levels against individual business domains
• Define initiatives to reduce CoQ
• Capture and analyze CoQ metrics periodically
• Base line and measure the phase specific CoQ goals
• Analyze and conduct Root Cause Analysis for all deviations
• Tie CoQ to Value drivers for the QA
CoQ Analysis – large Insurance company in USA
Benefits
•
•
Lower Operational Cost without compromising Quality
Previously hidden costs related to poor quality become
visible and demystified
In-depth analysis of Cost of Quality can lead to actions to
improve the situation
YoY improvements in COQ (Do more for Less)
Shorter time to market

EATS Centralized Library with Re-Usable Business Components
What is EATS (SAP/Oracle) Component Library?
•
•
•
•
SAP /Oracle modules are based on standard ‘T ‘ Codes or Transaction codes for each Business Transaction
Using the BPT Approach the test steps for each of the ‘T’ Codes can be componentized
Components per module & for each ‘T’ Code are stored in a central repository
Test Cases based on Client Business Processes can then be created using readily available components
