Regression Deficit: The Danger of Waiting to Test
The highly competitive software companies have learned that more automated testing leads to an increased competitive edge. Waiting to test delays feedback on product quality and completeness and reduces the time available to adjust to the changing market demands.
So why wait? For many companies, the cost of regression testing is the roadblock. As the cost and time for regression testing grows, tests are run less often, software is still being produced, previously working tests start breaking, and testing happens less and less as quality slides downhill. This is regression deficit, and it is all too common, especially with in demand products.
The good news is that many companies are overcoming this by combining short development cycles with one or more of the newer automated testing tools and techniques. This talk will introduce some of the tools in play and on the rise, and how they can be incorporated to ensure you have the testing in place so that you can stay competitive.
