Powering Quality through Test Automation - Cutting through the hype to see how it really works

Testing is to the software industry what drug trials are to pharma. In many ways, testing is more challenging and tenuous than core product or application development. Testing is a 360-degree process that doesn’t allow short-cuts. It has always been possible to automate specific types of testing, but that’s no longer enough. Because what you gain in one phase is lost in the other—like what you gain in baking, you lose in icing.

An end-to-end view of test automation is the way to not only realize value at every stage but also to get cumulative value across the entire test cycle. This is called enterprise-wide test automation. Call it the testing complex. Here too, the ‘build vs. buy’ option exists, but neither option is easy. If  building is easy,  maintaining is difficult. If buying is easy, partnering is difficult. Which way should one go?

The webinar  focused on the what, why, and how of enterprise-wide test automation.

The speakers discussed in detail the following points:

• How have quality assurance and testing become more of concurrent processes rather than an end of lifecycle one? 
• What are the best practices to be followed to get optimum results?
• What are the benefits of enterprise-wide automation of testing?
• What are the ways of integrating multiple phases of testing? Is it more about creating the right framework or about having the right testing platform?
• How should enterprises assess the right independent testing services provider?
