Test Center of Excellence (TCoE)
for IT Applications
Driving Quality, Efficiency & Business
Value in Cement & Concrete Digital
Systems
What is the TCoE All About?
• Centralized capability to standardize, govern, and execute testing across SAP and custom-built applications.
• Scope: SAP modules, custom business apps, mobile apps, plant automation integrations.
• Core Functions: Standard processes, automation, integration & regression testing, test data & environment management.
Why is This Different From What
We Have Now?
• Today: Testing managed independently by projects → With TCoE: Centralized governance and skilled resources.
• Today: Different tools per team → With TCoE: Unified toolset & frameworks.
• Today: Manual-heavy regression → With TCoE: Automated regression suites.
• Today: Environment/data delays → With TCoE: Dedicated environment/data management.
• Today: Knowledge silos → With TCoE: Knowledge repository & reusable assets.
• Today: Higher defect leakage → With TCoE: Early detection and prevention.
