Despite dedicated and repeated efforts by software teams to ensure that automated tests are easy to write, run, and read, system tests are often brittle, tedious, and slow. This issue becomes even more critical for teams that have adopted Agile methodologies.  Testing continues to be a serious drain on both human and computer resources and presents an obstacle to effective agile development.

Join us on this Web seminar to learn how the world's most innovative and agile development organizations have come to understand how automated system test harnesses evolve and identifies three universal challenges to improving test harnesses:

  • Provisioning and configuring the target environment
  • Efficiently automating the invocation of complex test suites
  • Transforming volumes of test result data into actionable metrics

QA and testing managers, development and engineering managers, release managers, CM managers, and software development executives will learn how these development organizations refactored their test infrastructures to address these problems and achieved dramatic breakthroughs in test throughput and efficiency.
