London, UK, October 3rd 2016 - Validata Group announces the launch Validata360° 2.0, the Leading Testing Analytics platform, enabling clients to automate their ALM reporting, future-proof their release quality and gain full control of their business risks and costs.
In today’s “as-a-Service” economy, where every business is a software business, Development and testing teams need to create better software faster so the need for an effective Software Testing Analytics solution is also emerging. Requirements, test cases, results, defects and operational incidents are increasing in volume and our clients are looking to get a 360-degree view of their applications and processes through a simple, yet compelling way to communicate that data on a regular basis.
Up to now, many organizations still rely on spreadsheets for their reporting and the ALM tools from the major software providers like HP QC, are designed to work with traditional or waterfall approaches, lacking clear focus on Test Analytics and support for agile practices.
Validata360° 2.0 was developed to address these challenges; with a Big Data Business Intelligence service focused on the health and quality of complex QA and DevOps projects across the global enterprise, allowing for faster, smarter and better decisions in real-time. It automatically collects all the data from the different projects and tools you use such as Atlassian Jira, HP QC and ServiceNow, transforming them into dynamic, actionable dashboards to speed business decisions with real-time data flows and views of the release and project performance.
Validata360° is a cloud-first, mobile-first, multi-tenant solution hosted on the Microsoft Azure platform with PowerBI embedded. It is offered through a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) subscription model and delivers all of the software infrastructure and support resources to power an organisation’s enterprise testing business, delivering easy access from anywhere, at any time!
The new release helps clients deploy cloud-based test analytics to automate and accelerate the QA and DevOps lifecycle and release quality faster. The testing effort analysis, Benchmarking, SLA and Vendor Management capabilities of the tool empower the CTO, CIO, QA manager etc, to make better budgeting decisions and business cases while increasing the performance and productivity of their teams.
It tracks the progress against estimates and workload (agile burn down charts), monitors DevOps providing insights for better project planning and estimation accuracy. It calculates testing effort involved in each task and uses powerful predictive analytics to identify future risks and defects. It delivers the information you need through a ‘single version of the truth’ to enhance your user experience and ensure that QA metrics are aligned with your business goals.
“Validata Analytics360° is the first end-to-end DevOps solutions from the cloud to enable clients predict delivery, align tests with business risks, control costs and drive operational efficiencies” says Vaios Vaitsis, Founder and CEO of Validata Group. “With the 2.0 release we aim to accelerate DevOps with Continuous Testing and Analytics to deliver faster insights and drive smarter decisions. Connecting testing with key business KPIs in order to demonstrate its value.”
