The Enterprise QA Transformation Model

With the increasing acceptance of testing/QA as an independent function; the focus on building mature testing practices has become critical for organizations, as quality has a profound effect on business outcomes. This in turn has necessitated the need for a model that can assess the maturity of the current test organization and also work as a reference model for selective improvements. In the previous paper1, we had reviewed why most conventional and QA maturity models available today fail to assess the overall test process maturity and understood the need for a comprehensive QA/ Test maturity model and its desired attributes. In this paper we shall understand The Enterprise QA Transformation Model, the answer to the need for a comprehensive test maturity model, which defines the QA Transformation roadmap and manages its implementation. It has been developed to help organizations selectively improve their testing capabilities based on key dimensions that contribute to the testing maturity and can be customized to the business environments that the organization operates in. The innovative scoring and assessment methodology of the model helps identify and understand the prevalent weaknesses and transform the testing services by leveraging their current testing capabilities and adopting the best testing practices across industries.
