Testing takes about 30 to 40% time in any software development project. With the need for more robust and reliable software, testing has become a vital part of the SDLC and a specialized function in itself.  With end-to-end service testing capabilities across a variety of industries and products, TCS’ capabilities extend from traditional system and regression testing to complex services such as testing of ATM machines, point-of-sale machines, mobile phones, embedded systems.
