Tata Consultancy Service reveals Quality Engineering Services for Blockchain Applications

TCS recently revealed its latest blockchain offering, a suite of quality control services for the Blockchain, known by the name as TCS Blockchain Quality Engineering Services.

The service includes API audits, usability testing, smart contract audits, and reliability threats. The suite also offers quality assurance services against vulnerabilities in Blockchain-Based Applications.

Lakshminarasimhan (Lakshmi) Srinivasan, Global Head, Blockchain Services, TCS, said, "Quality engineering is critical for blockchain implementations to manage risks from potential security tradeoffs that are introduced to achieve scalability and performance benchmarks. When decentralized smart contracts are executed in an automated way without any human intervention, it makes audit a non-mutually exclusive event. We offer significant value realization from the security, scalability, and performance level audits."

David E. Rutter, the CEO, R3, said, "As platforms like Corda continue to drive the digital transformation of entire industries, the need for blockchain apps on these platforms to integrate QE services will grow exponentially. Ensuring security has been a priority of ours since inception, and we are constantly looking for ways to enhance that. The launch of this service by our strategic partner TCS will help ensure the optimum level of security for firms deploying next generation business applications built on blockchain". 

Smart Contract Audits are a part of the public blockchain, and with a larger enterprise blockchain, several firms will arguably review the business logic.

Moreover, adding a third-party audit will add an extra comfort level. Especially given that TCS has a large number of major banks as customers, which includes many of the largest in the UK and US.

TCS has previously launched various blockchain initiatives. It has its Quartz DevKit for the enterprises to build smart contracts for Hyperledger Fabric, R3 Cords, and Ethereum. 

There is another blockchain solution with the name TCS Quartz Smart Solution for the Crypt Services, and it has a blockchain loyalty platform.
