In today's competitive era, enterprises require a test consulting strategy that will help them formulate and implement end-to-end V&V governance, enhanced strategy, and testing processes. Enterprises also need to establish a centralized QA function comprising of multiple vendors, closely coupled systems with interdependencies, heterogeneous mix of technologies, architecture platforms, products and bespoke applications.

Customers today are looking beyond traditional functional testing activities and leveraging testers' expertise, tools and processes to enhance their go-to-market ability. Value addition to the software development lifecycle through a combination of structure processes, creativity and high quality has become critical.

Certification of certain attributes of a software/hardware product or solution to the existing ecosystem of the enterprise is critical and necessary. This is done by the certification process which authorizes compatibility, reliability and quality of the said product. By using a certified product, the customer can be assured of achieving maximized outcome. The certification process is supervised by an Authorized Test Authority, an independent body devoid of makers of the solutions and ecosystems.

Customers no longer just need assurance that their IT systems are in order. Assurance that the core business processes would be available to their associates, partners and customers 24X7 has become critical. A key trend in independent testing therefore is the shift from being an integral part of IT services to being an important lever for business assurance.
