Description:

With proliferation of multiple development environments, operating systems, browsers, distributed user base world, testing of an application is becoming increasingly complex. N-Dimensional just seems inadequate when quantifying the testing space formed by new development environments.  In the past, we thought we could put our arms around the testing space. We felt like we could understand all the possible states and the resulting effect on our code path traversals. We would use our known black box testing methodologies (like boundary value analysis, equivalence class partitioning etc.) and could load test well beaten paths with our known testing tools. This is true no more. To test with all the possible permutations and combinations, need for the size of test labs are increasing on exponential basis. It is not an unusual thing to hear that various releases of an application have been pushed off as the test lab was not available for the testing teams. Key learning areas of this session are:•      What is Cloud?•      Why Cloud?•      Advantages of Cloud•      Typical Cloud Deployments – Examples•      Vendors providing Cloud Services•      Challenges in Cloud Deployments•      Testing using Cloud Based Environments – Benefits and Limitations

Cloud computing environment can surely give a helping hand by providing economy of scale for wide variety of test environments. This paper is making an attempt to explore that how cloud computing can help to bridge this gap in test infrastructures and which all market players are trying to fill this gap.

Description:

Software testing  practice and  business has been evolving at a rapid pace.  And this change is also driving the current Test Outsourcing business models to be revisited. There are currently three key forces that are driving unprecedented changes in the field of Software Development and Testing – a) A decreasing prevalence of the traditional software development methodology and a fast shift towards agile methodologiesb) An increased usage and shift towards mobile computing and, c) The ubiquity of the internet – manifested primarily through cloud computing This webinar will cover and share insights on:1) Disruptive trends in software development and the computing landscape – their nature, prevalence and their impact on Software Testing2) The emerging needs and imperatives of Test Outsourcing business models – how changes in software testing are forcing changes in the way      test outsourcing models work 3) Future Strategy – Ideas that will need to be factored into plans for the future  and how vendors and stakeholders need to adapt, and will need to factor for   o   Newer collaboration modelso   Capability adjustmentso   Reliance on automation and other toolso   Increased expectations of value delivery  o   Cost and Pricing paradigms4) Managing organizational change – The entrenched test outsourcing business models are likely to be challenged and thus defended in turn by organizational inertia.  Therefore organizations will have to plan and prepare their teams and processes for the required shift.
