The Q-Laboratory, an advanced software testing facility, is set to join the ranks of globally recognised top-level testing laboratory with its impending Level 5 certification by the TMMi Foundation.

TMMi provides a framework for assessing the maturity of the test processes in an organisation, and so providing targets on improving maturity. It is developed and managed by the TMMi Foundation. The Q-Lab has been assessed to TMMi Level 5 by United Kingdom-based accredited TMMi assessor Experimentus Ltd in August 2013.

The Q-Lab was established at an initial cost of RM11 million under MSTH initiative, a Public-Private collaboration aimed at developing the software testing industry as a new source of economic growth for the nation. The Q-Lab and was officially opened in 2010 and since then, it has steadily gained recognition from the domestic and international software testing fraternities.
