Organizations face the challenge of choosing the most effective model that generates the greatest ROI based on the organizations testing goals. Those models are Centralized, Distributed and a Hybrid of both models.

  • Drawback is a dilution of subject matter expertise on specific applications
  • Subject Matter Expertise in increased through focus on specific applications or lines of business
