TRACE believes Testing is not just a phase in SDLC, but it is to be addressed in all phases.
Reduce the Cost of Testing. Testing too much is crime and testing less is a sin. Testing at right place and at right time with adequate testing team not only reduces cost of testing rapidly but also improves the quality.
Reduce the Time to Market. Reduce time to market by focusing on metric based testing process model with proper entry and exit criteria. Implementation of automation tools is another factor to be consider in order to reduce the time to market.
Reduce the Defect Leakage. Defect leakage is a biggest problem in IT industry. A well-defined end-to-end metric based process will reduce the defect rates. Early life testing and an optimized testing coverage at each cycle will reduce not only the defect leakage but also the development and testing effort much by detecting the defects at early stage itself.
