-stop shop for various testing  needs – Performance Testing, Security  Testing, UAT Support etc.<|endoftext|>Quantitative benefits include  • An estimated cost saving of 50% owing  to reuse of the test design artifacts • An expected 40% reduction in  execution cost with automation of test  build and  • Near zero defect leakage from System  Integration testing to UAT and Go-Live,  ensuring faster time to market and less  Production downtime.  Conclusion Setting up a Test Factory can give organisations a unique insight into how they can successfully tailor and reinvent the traditional onsite- offshore model for ensuring effective and comprehensive application testing. In addition to the cost benefits, with the adoption of the Test  Factory approach, organisations emerge with an integrated and comprehensive SLA driven QA organisation with tightly knitted processes.  One of the most enterprising advantages with a Test Factory setup is the ability to add further services associated with Testing and without  having to largely tweak the underlying processes framework. This helps the organisation in quickly on-boarding and implementing testing  skills and processes required for the supporting of new business initiatives oriented towards upcoming areas like Cloud, Mobility, Social  Commerce, etc.   The Test Factory model is a welcome addition to the plate of offerings by Service firms and is definitely a force to reckon with in the  foreseeable future.<|endoftext|>External Document © 2018 Infosys Limited
