1 Testing Platform-as-a-Service Get Significant Application Quality Improvement Without Major Investment. Performance driven. Quality assured.

2 TPaaS a complete testing service, on demand, using the Capgemini cloud, Sogeti s specialist testing services and HP s market leading IT Management test tools In order to thoroughly validate software application functionality, performance and security, organizations typically have to make sizable investments not only in testing tools, but also in provisioning the test environments and maintaining essential infrastructure. Add to this the expense of finding the right people and developing the skill sets required to work with today s complex applications and technologies, and the cost of testing can become prohibitively high. With ever-growing demands for higher application quality and faster time to market, companies can t afford not to invest. However, even after purchasing the best-of-breed tools and hardware, many companies frequently find themselves with redundant testing resources often focused on specific individual projects and unable to share tools, best practices and assets. All too often, when a project comes to a close, tools become shelf ware and acquired knowledge is lost. Today s IT organizations need an innovative and flexible solution that will allow them to bring in necessary tools, environments, knowledge and resources without amplifying the cost of delivery, or jeopardizing time-to-market. Our Testing Platform-as-a-Service Solution Cloud computing now makes it possible for organizations to not only reduce the cost of quality by purchasing testing services on-demand, but also push up standards. Our next-generation Test Platform-as-a-Service (TPaaS) is a highly adaptable cloud solution that provides easy access to scalable infrastructure, market leading SaaS testing tools, and highly skilled professional testing resources. TPaaS allows all of this to be provided at a lower cost, with greater agility, and in-built quality and flexibility. Using our own secure cloud in the UK, we offer a flexible, on-demand subscription model that comprises Capgemini infrastructure, immediate access to both onshore and offshore specialist Sogeti test teams, and and Hewlett-Packard s premium IT Management tooling. Together, Capgemini and its local specialist testing arm, Sogeti, have extensive experience in developing innovative, business-driven quality assurance practices and testing services. The group has over 12,000 testing professionals around the world, making us an ideal testing partner for any organization looking to improve application quality. TPaaS delivers on this promise without requiring large upfront investments, whilst guaranteeing security and reliability on our private Cloud. A More Consistent Integrated User Experience Bringing together managed infrastructure, test tools and test resources with Sogeti as the main point of contact means our clients have just one set of SLAs, one commercial agreement and one partner to work with, ensuring a consistent and seamless customer experience. This partnership approach, with a single point of accountability for a comprehensive set of end-to-end activities, enables organizations to bypass the usual maze of supplier agreements. Clients pay for hardware, test tools and specialist resources but only when they need them! Cut Costs in the Cloud The Capgemini, Sogeti and Hewlett Packard TPaaS solution is based on a highly personalized, configurable pricing model. This means that our clients can reduce their total cost of ownership by eliminating up-front investment in testing assets, hardware installation, licenses, administration and maintenance, and achieve a faster return on their investment in application development and deployment. They can also achieve significant savings in resource utilization as TPaaS allows them to reduce the number of resources required to manage existing testing environments. The typical resource cost reduction associated with a cloud-based, on-demand testing service is around 35% 1 over a 3-year time frame, and there are also lower costs associated with recruitment and training. TPaaS clients pay one comprehensive price for specialist testing resources, access to dedicated hardware platforms and industry-leading software licenses but only when they need them. This enables organizations to move some of their test costs from a Capex to an Opex model and provide a clearer and uniform understanding of the costs of quality. 1 Source: Capgemini and Sogeti benchmarked metrics based on over 20 projects completed Testing Platform-as-a-Service

3 Testing the way we see it Minimize Risk to Maximize Success Complex, distributed applications and fast-changing modern technologies demand a comprehensive approach to testing. Application quality is often tied directly to business results, and any defects that slip into production create service interruptions, scalability problems or security breaches, leading to disastrous consequences for the company s core processes. A Testing Platform-as-a-Service model can help ensure that all key IT applications undergo careful quality and integration assessments before deployment, and that they remain reliable in production. Our TPaaS and other related services deliver all the essential elements of quality, including test management, functional, regression, security and performance testing and defect management, with significant levels of test automation typically around 50-70%. Combined, the result is that applications can be launched more quickly to market with lower business and technical risks. Typically our clients see a reduction in test times of up to 30% 2 with leakage of high-severity defects under 2%. Applications can be launched more quickly to market with lower business and technical risks Quality Built In In addition to rapid provisioning and fast return on investment, a TPaaS model offers companies a head start in building a consistent and centralized approach to Quality Management; one that is focused on standards, visibility, best practices, measurement and governance, and provides speed to value. Our services promote the standardization of testing practices through the use of our own consistent and repeatable testing methodologies and industry standards for structured testing, TMap and TPI, built up over more than two decades. With these proven testing frameworks, templates, and accelerators, we can help organizations deliver continual improvement and optimization to their testing and quality practices. Findings from the World Quality Report 3 suggest that, although organizations are happy to invest around 40% of the overall testing budget in Test Environments, more than half (55%) claim to lack specialist Test Environment Management skills. The TPaaS model can help companies to supplement 2 Source: Capgemini and Sogeti benchmarked metrics based on over 20 projects completed WQR: their in-house testing and improve these lacking skills, as it provides expertise to help manage complex test environments. The entire organization can benefit from TPaaS whether through acquiring new product and technology knowledge, improving collaboration between Development, Testing and the business, introducing resource pools, or laying the foundation for a standards-based approach to quality. Paying Special Attention to Security The World Quality Report highlights data security requirements and risks as a key concern for organizations when they consider moving their testing to the cloud. Our TPaaS offering is built on strict security measures, and our hybrid cloud allows clients to split environments between public and private cloud infrastructures giving them the option to deploy development and test environments on a public cloud, whilst hosting the production environment on-premise or in a private cloud - ensuring minimal risk to data security and access. Clients can rest assured that their production environment and data is secure while still taking full advantage of the benefits of their cloud infrastructure. TPaaS at a Glance The following are available to all TPaaS clients: Market leading cloud technology, hosted in a highly secure data center Experienced testing staff who can provide high levels of support and local accountability Consumption-based pricing and predictable outcomes eliminating up-front investment in hardware procurement, management and maintenance, software licencing and support, and resources required to manage existing testing environments, providing a fast ROI Fast time to market through rapid set up of projects, with flexibility and scalability to accommodate changes and refresh environments throughout the project. Standardization of testing practices through the use of proven testing frameworks, templates and best practices Continuous engagement and ongoing guidance to drive adoption of higher quality standards and practices, and help advance in-house testing expertise, maturity and governance processes.
