  Why does my organization need this Assessment framework?

Organizations undertake several ambitious Projects for growth that demands an equally good team. Software Testing is a vast area wherein Projects of diverse nature, size and complexity are performed. The software testing skills and capabilities needed for each Project could be different and it usually becomes a challenge to assess the competency of the staff and/or to identify the skill gaps and develop the required skills.

Employee identification, selection, development, and retention are critical to management. A quantitative and objective measure of skills that is aligned to organizational goals provides competitive advantage to business. The traditional ways of assessing the competencies have been:

• Measuring knowledge with oft repeated in-house developed assessment questions
• Measuring On The Job Productivity
• Stakeholder satisfaction rating

These methods have their own limitations and cannot give a true assessment of the capabilities. Some of the common challenges identified by organizations are:

• Varied nature of Projects, and hence varying skill-set needs for different projects
• Several external factors determining the project results and not necessarily the competency
• Lack of an objective assessment focused on Software Testing
• Lack of application of tangible measurements and metrics around Software Testing
• Ever changing environment and stakeholders, hence little predictability and status quo
• Lack of role definition based on skills
• Lack of in-house expert time to constantly upgrade the assessment or develop new areas of assessment
• Credibility of the in-house assessment with the client organizations

ST Unified will help organizations to address all these challenges effectively.
