Nevertheless, IT departments are expected to handle all these changes competently without proportional increases in budget or other resources. With Red Hat’s expert assistance, IT … continue reading
Continuous testing. Automated testing. Artificial testing. Service virtualization. Test-driven development. These are among the many technologies available to organizations looking to bring their testing up to the speed of software development. Ensuring quality can no longer be the drag on software deployment, if businesses want to stay competitive and be able to take advantage of … continue reading
Agile and DevOps practices make Continuous Testing essential. Yet, software testing is still dominated by legacy tools and outdated processes. Recent studies show that enterprise test automation rates average 20% overall, with Agile adopters at 26% to 30%. Using Tricentis‘ innovative functional testing technologies, enterprises can achieve unprecedented test automation rates of 90% or better … continue reading
It’s an interesting time for the application space. The pressures being put on enterprise development teams have accelerated to a point unseen in the past. The technologies and architectures patterns that are designed to help teams become more agile today are putting a level of complexity into the equation. New software service areas, not the … continue reading
With Agile development becoming so widely adopted and timelines being shorter in general for all types of development, testing solutions must test more efficiently, understand which areas are higher risk, and step up and deliver in the increasingly complex enterprise testing and production environment. TechExcel’s main customer base is the gaming industry, and it’s begun … continue reading
Manual testing is still the biggest part of the application testing industry, even though functional test automation has been around for over 25 years. Overviews from IDC to Gartner support this, showing that roughly 85-90 percent of QA testing globally is still manual. “This would seem to be a disappointment, and the reason is the … continue reading
To meet the requirements of digital transformation, organizations need to apply Agile methodologies and increase automated testing coverage to deliver “quality at speed” change.
