Agile testing has become critical part of Application lifecycles increasing their capacity and quality. Testing has evolved from primary validating to area of deployed applications based on business tasks. According to the one independent survey, 87% of teams using agile said implementing agile improved their ability to manage changing priorities.

Moving into the future, organisations need to establish and standardize their Configuration Management processes to better support Agile.

Would you consider building a bridge if there was any room for error in the specifications? However this is the expected norm in the software industry.

Regression testing is an essential activity in ensuring that security problems are not introduced or uncovered as a result of changes. Test Automation makes a perfect fit for regression testing projects, where you need to test the same functionality over and over again to make sure that the results are exactly the same. You can save hours and hours of testing and valuable resources at a click of a button.

The typical QA department wastes a big portion of its budget on inefficiencies that only get worse as complexity of core banking system grows. Automate many of these tasks and processes and you become leader and more responsive to business changes.

Software has expanded its reach to every aspect of our lives; it is no longer relegated to a confined area of deployed applications to execute a business task. Software is responsible for business processes, consumer purchases, transportation, communications, and devices that are always on and, in some cases, life-critical.

Validata SAS’s  model-based approach enables the automatic generation of test cases, eliminates the high cost of maintenance of traditional script-based test automation, and also reduces redundant testing efforts with lower costs and faster time-to-value. Cost of maintenance is less as the model is automatically synchronized with T24.

Agile Test Automation is fuel for the cloud for a business to function, so must its software which is why testing is growing in stature. Testing now is big business. The testing services market is worth 30$ billion per year, rising to $46 billion in the next three years. In an industry in which only 32 percent of projects are successful and half of all development efforts are wasted, there is little margin for error. And with testing taking place earlier and more frequently within the development process, there is greater need for test automation.

Validata Group, the leading provider of Validata SAS, the first truly integrated Automation Lifecycle Management solution for the Banking and Finance, has been once again ahead of the game and investing on innovation that will make the change in the testing automation world.
