The IT Industry is gradually recognizing the value of moving from quality control (end gate testing) to quality assurance (in-process testing). Scintel clearly understands the importance of this paradigm shift and has established a Quality Assurance Center of Excellence to support its quality initiatives.
Scintel’s quality assurance practice offers a complete range of services from Test Process Consulting to ‘End to End’ Quality Assurance solutions. The QA Center of Excellence has a dedicated team of professionals with extensive experience in all facets of testing and in the latest automated testing tools.

Each business application has complexities and risk areas unique to it. Yet it is not unusual for in-experienced testers to attempt the testing exercise in-house. Naturally, field defects, which should have been caught earlier in the development phase, get passed to the delivery stage. Further, testing is usually planned towards the last leg of the SDLC. This often results in a lot of re-work costs and delays. Furthermore, using development resources for testing means that each release has got a new set of testers to deal with and Resource Continuity and Knowledge Retention is negatively impacted.

Wastage of person-hours and costs on testing can accumulate to considerable expenses for the organization. As a pioneer in testing Scintel understands how these losses can be avoided. The most vital aspect of rigorous testing is to understand how defects occur at every stage. At the coding stage, violation in coding standards leads to almost 60% of the defects. At the unit testing stage, selection of wrong test data/incomplete test data leads to passing of many test scenarios that are caught only in later stages. In performance testing, incomplete mapping of the field and simulated environments lead to 70% of the distorted results.
