Abstract & Speaker Profile
» Over the last decade, large number of commercial & open source
test tools have entered the field of testing. However, these tools still
do not address gaps that are not big enough yet cannot be
ignored. Testing IP backed by leadership in test engineering and
management can help accelerate various testing activities through
out the software test life cycle. Non-linear growth is the way forward
for services industry and in particular software testing
services. Conventional FTE based models do not add value anymore.
Helping clients jump-start the QA initiatives in terms of productivity,
quality and cost through Testing IP is the future.
» The presenter will talk about various tools / frameworks that are
built to serve large scale testing projects that are complex in nature.
This session will cover topics related to framework for
detecting defects in the requirement stage, intelligent test scenario
generator, web services validator, Automation test accelerator for
ERP systems and an innovative browser compatibility test
accelerator. These tools have helped enterprises and ISVs accelerate
their market readiness and have reduced the overall QA costs by
almost 20-25%. Tune into this session and explore the future of
software testing.
