Validata Blog: Talk AI-powered Testing

Over the last two decades, there are many companies that have never been able to achieve the desired business results from their automation initiatives. Traditional test automation techniques are found to be ineffective in meeting the business demands of rapid application delivery and faster time-to-market.

With application environments becoming more complex, integrating a robust messaging platform into your QA and DevOps lifecycle, will accelerate software development, testing, delivery and operations. It offers teams the opportunity to get real-time decisions on every stage, from development to release, based on live comparison and insights. This way collaboration regarding the overall project plan and the overall project efficiency is getting improved and the integration testing phase of your projects is simplified and de-risked with less effort.

With DevOps and Continuous Delivery, releasing with both speed and confidence, requires having immediate feedback on the business risks associated with a software release candidate.

Imagine people logging on their bank account and presented not with their own bank accounts but with those of completely different customers. Imagine people seeing their life savings suddenly missing from their account. This is what happened in April 2018, when a series of outages led to the meltdown of TSB’s online banking system, costing the bank £366 million in ‘post-migration charges’ and a big loss of customers. A bill of £153 million was sent to Sabis, the bank’s IT provider, for its role in the crisis. The overall cost of the software failure could increase further if fines are subsequently imposed by regulators.
