Software testing today faces numerous challenges, including ever-shrinking release schedules, a lack of knowledge of business priorities, the misunderstanding of development methodologies, complex technologies, changing expectations, delays within the implementation, a lack of awareness of non-functional requirements, insufficient resourcing, time and cost pressure versus quality, and the unfamiliarity of testing conventions. Most of these challenges become a risk and later a reality soon after the software solution development commences. Software products or projects try to mitigate the above issues in various ways, such as through planning and replanning, adding more people to the team, or additional budget; however, test automation is viewed as mitigation to address the delay in delivery due to the above issues.
This session is primarily for the IT Leaders on how to surpass the challenges in test automation.
