Oracle and Capgemini Group has expanded their testing relationship to deliver focused testing solutions. Through a new global initiative called the ‘Oracle Software Testing Center of Excellence,’ set up within the Capgemini Group in India, the companies plan to help customers more effectively manage and standardize their test processes.

Specifically, Oracle, Capgemini Group, and its local professional services subsidiary, Sogeti, intend to help customers deliver higher-quality applications in less time and cost, by leveraging powerful test automation tools, integrated test processes and extensive testing expertise.

Additionally, Oracle and Capgemini Group intend to leverage Oracle’s Application Quality Management OPN Specialization to train Capgemini Group’s 6,400 test professionals on Oracle Application Quality Management solutions.

Capgemini Group’s structured testing methodology, Test Management Approach (TMap), together with Oracle’s Application Quality Management solutions, including Oracle Application Testing Suite, Real Application Testing and Data Masking Pack, will serve as the foundation for the ‘Oracle Software Testing Center of Excellence,’ along with dedicated expertise within the Capgemini Group, and the ability to leverage this expertise through company’s Rightshore global delivery network and capabilities.

Capgemini Group’s TMap templates are also being integrated into Oracle Application Testing Suite 9.2.

Long time Oracle partner, Capgemini is a Platinum level member in the Oracle PartnerNetwork program.

Leading Test Processes and Expertise Aim for Cost Reduction and Greater Efficiency

Capgemini Group’s TMap is a business-driven, risk-based approach for structured software testing, providing rigorous test execution across the whole development lifecycle, delivering clearly identifiable results and can notably reduce the cost of software development and maintenance.
