Why is DevOps Testing integral to Digital Transformation Strategies? History has proved that companies and brands that have not been able to mature with technology upgrade have fallen behind in the race and have become obsolete. Technology and new age digital technologies have the capability to generate disruptive ideas and create phenomenal success out of minimal investments. While technology matures aggressively, testing these technology platforms rigorously is getting cumbersome and challenging. Breakthrough software testing ideas such as DevOps testing (now popularly referred to as DevTestOps) and Agile Testing have given way to Continuous Testing and Continuous Delivery. Let’s look at some recent examples of companies that have brought out a ‘360 degree’ spin in the idea of success by massively leveraging technology and digital transformation strategies.

A case in point is Airbnb, a start-up that has today evolved as the biggest hotel chain without owning even a single property. What is Digital Transformation? Digital is disruptive. Can Investing in IP-led Testing Determine Business Growth? Enterprises big-medium-small are in serious need of a robust Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software to seamlessly operate and deliver on their core business objectives. This has pumped up the need for ERP testing, where businesses are increasingly inclining towards Intellectual Property-led (IP-Led) testing services and IP-Led solutions to bring a dash of expertise to the entire software testing process.

Let’s consider the situation of Start-ups. Start-up ventures are on a rise due to the passion they bring for the business idea. They are coming up with some phenomenal inventions not only to make human life comfortable, but also bring about a transformation in the overall socio-environmental lifecycle. At the same time, they do not want to waste their precious formative years in taking care of the operational hassles.

Such scenarios and business ventures have created a niche of testing requirements. The objective is to deliver quality, but at jet-speed! Our take! Top 5 factors to consider while testing Financial Applications. A report by Research and Markets estimates that the global Financial Services Application Market will clock $103.66 billion by 2019, at a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period 2014-2019. Today the strength of a country is estimated by the robustness of its economy and allied financial systems. Ensuring security and accessibility of the financial applications is critical, which has hiked the significance of Financial Applications Testing and Quality Assurance – Security testing, Functional testing, Load/Performance testing, and more.

Financial technology organizations (commonly referred to as Fintechs) emerged to become a craze in 2015, and start-ups raised volumes of funds from banks and financial institutions to develop innovative platforms to make financial services more accessible and use-friendly. The key concern areas have been performance, security, and functionality. It sure is. But is it also bug-free and secure? Impact Analysis Functional Testing Security Testing Test Automation. How can you boost Software Testing productivity with Test Data Management. Big brands and technology trendsetters are pacing up to bring self-driving cars to the market. In this entire rumble, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk recently announced its foray in the Middle Eastern market. While addressing a panel at World Government Summit in Dubai, he cited that self-driving car systems are imminent within the next few years, however, it might take longer for the tech to fully “disrupt” manual driving.

This is key, as it establishes the critically of implementing comprehensive software testing methodologies and leveraging right Test Data for Continuous Testing. Taking the announcement further, Elon Musk has announced Tesla’s official entry in the UAE market with its Model S and Model X crossover vehicles. He further mentioned, ‘My guess is that in probably 10 years it will be very unusual for cars to be built that are not fully autonomous.’ Why consider Test Data Management? You must consider the following checklist during Test Data Management: How critical is Software Testing for Healthcare IT.

What are the key elements for an effective Test Automation strategy? Some of the key reasons for application failure rate are bad user experience and inadequate testing of the application. In the current digital landscape, there are various factors that can undermine the performance of your application. At the worse, you can even expect a data breach if the application is not rigorously tested! Testing is multifaceted and covers an entire gamut of activities to ensure that the Application Under Test (AUT) performs flawlessly under pressure, is secure, and is robust for the volatile market conditions. The key is to build an effective test automation strategy to eliminate the errors that can be expected in manual testing. A Test Automation framework enables teams to cut down the costs and efforts in the testing process. It also adds the reusability factor, where the test automation framework, when updated with new test cases can be reused for any other testing project. How critical is a Test Automation strategy for an application’s efficiency?

Can Service Virtualization boost Agile testing strategy? Bot, an artificial intelligence (AI) powered chat program, is changing the face of technology-human interface. They are being declared as new applications for the future. Interestingly, non-profit organizations with substantial resources and technology support are trying to explore ways to use chatbot technology for the larger good. Can Agile test strategy with effective implementation of Service Virtualization (SV) bring relevance and add value for such path-breaking projects? In an ideal scenario, software testing and operations teams are expected to work in tandem and deliver quality with speed, cost effectively. In real-development environment things change, as applications get complex with numerous interdependent factors that pose challenge in the production phase.

Service Virtualization emulates the performance of services in a virtual set-up to help address the challenges of Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) testing strategy. Swiftly upgrade the asset when requirements change. Can Service Virtualization boost Agile testing strategy? How can Continuous Delivery Accelerate Software Testing and Development? According to projections by market research firm Canalys, the Apple Watch dominated the wearable market during the last quarter and almost the entire 2016.

It further states that Apple is setting records and eating up the market share of its nearest competitor. The smartwatch segment is highly competitive and has numerous big and small entrants with competing prices. How are brands such as Apple able to gain this competitive edge? Is Continuous Delivery, Agile testing, and DevOps the answer? As per the same report, Apple has shipped a record of more than 9 million units in the quarter and clocked a revenue of over $2.6 billon, which accounts for over 80% of the market’s total smartwatch revenue.

Continuous Delivery in software development is the capability to execute all possible changes – new features, configuration changes, fixing bugs and further experiments during production or post-production phase in a risk-free manner.
