Build a quality-first digital enterprise that helps you Lead the League - A fireside chat you don't want to miss!

Why should you consider attending this Digital Dialogue?

Businesses today are making all attempts to improve their present IT infrastructure and techniques to stay competitive and accelerate digital transformation while embracing new technologies and software development approaches. This has led to exponential growth in the digitization drive for almost every sector. As a result, there has been the development of massive interest in software quality due to concerns such as security, quality, speed, and costs.?

In this topic, we will discuss how businesses that adopt DevOps can provide higher-quality releases with fewer performance issues and how best DevOps practices can enhance customer experience. We will also talk about how virtualization facilitates testing and eases project management, and how the future of software development and testing, as well as IT project management, is dependent on service virtualization.

As companies race to become ‘digital-first’ with software quality as a strategic enabler, effective test data management (TDM) becomes a game changer. We will also touch upon how Agile Requirements Designer (ARD) is a key to ensuring a better customer experience by being able to do model-driven customer journey testing. When you use ARD to test at the speed of agile, you reduce manual testing effort while delivering better quality applications to market faster. This topic will also delve into how investing in an effective TDM strategy in enterprises can reduce the cost of storing and processing test data, increase coverage and enhance test cycle efficiency for delivery excellence.

Topic Context

As large enterprises work to offer high-quality applications at the lowest possible cost, they need to gather, manage and aggregate large amounts of customer data. This is an absolute necessity in order to develop powerful and all-encompassing test data management (TDM) capabilities that enable agile delivery models. The lack of high-quality test data has emerged as the main issue when businesses adopt Agile development and testing in a DevOps culture.

For a team at a U.S. insurance company, the collecting of test data accounted for 16% of all testing efforts. Therefore, $3 million was spent only on TDM for a $20 million delivery. This company was able to save $450,000 on testing expenses by implementing enhanced TDM capabilities.

Software teams often do not have access to the necessary test data in many businesses. Teams must provide agile teams with self-service access to test data to overcome this challenge. To enable the integration of data consumption into CI/CD pipelines, API access must also be made available.

Poor data quality can cause testing and quality assurance to fail, which negatively impacts the final product. Therefore, unsatisfied consumers may use social media to voice their complaints before switching their allegiance to a different business, persuading friends and other followers. Customer experience, customer loyalty, brand reputation, and revenue all improve as a consequence of good data hygiene, enhanced security, and simplified data administration.

Enterprises across all industries may gain a great deal by investing in a TDM strategy that satisfies the full need for test data to be reliable and available when needed. It is possible to lower the cost of storing and processing test data, improve test effectiveness and coverage, and speed up test cycles.

On the other hand, several businesses have benefited from Service Virtualization (SV) by being able to test application components that are either located outside of their development organizations or are not readily accessible to the tester at the time the test has to be finished. It is possible to think of SV as a life cycle technology that enables continuous virtualization.

Against this backdrop, join us for an insightful digital dialogue series where Cigniti and Broadcom’s thought leaders give you an in-depth look at how businesses that adopt DevOps can provide higher-quality releases with fewer performance issues and how best DevOps practices can enhance customer experience. We will also talk about how virtualization facilitates testing and eases project management, and how the future of software development and testing, as well as IT project management, is dependent on service virtualization.
