A Competency Center Transformed Our Quest for Engineering Excellence
summary
Reliance Jio establishes a Quality Engineering Competency Center that hires and trains 48 SDETs trained and embeds them for 3–6 months as acceleration teams, standardizes tooling and CI/CD in Azure DevOps, and uses Specmatic service virtualization, ReportPortal, and Applitools. Results include automated pipelines with 2,838 tests and 54% branch coverage on one product and 76% front-end branch coverage in two months, regression runtime cut from two days to 1.5, fewer flaky tests, and stabilized ephemeral test environments.
