Accenture Quality Engineering

As enterprises look to software as a source of competitive advantage, they demand quality—at speed and scale. They must rethink how they build and test applications, moving away from testing as a standalone function at far end of the development cycle to embedding quality throughout. Our Quality Engineering services are designed to power speed, quality and productivity with an intelligence and insights-driven approach.

Through testing, we ensure high quality to verify that the users get the most value-creating solutions that ensure that the identified goals are realised. Accenture will provide access to a worldwide network of leaders with vision across multiple domains. You will have your own budget for training/ education/ certifications/ conferences.
