Pradeep Waychal, Patni Computer Systems Limited
 
Testing businesses has its unique challenges. One has to rely on various innovative measures to overcome them.

This talk shares some of the innovations responsible for the growth of this business and their quantitative benefits. Till recently testing was an unpopular career & as a result current test resource base is poor. We have to judiciously choose recruitment channels to service immediate business exigencies and build a solid team for tomorrow. Also, a maturity model that manages intake and governs career of testing professionals can be developed. Testing is an engineering activity that allows us to use Six Sigma Methodology effectively. Some of them are in the area of finding more critical defects at early stages, reducing test creation and execution time to improve cost of quality, reducing report generation cycle time.
