3rd April 2018, London, UK - Validata Group, the Continuous Testing company, launched and unveiled the opening of its new office in Kenya, accelerating the company’s strategy to deliver industry-leading solutions to maximise digital testing, and fueling new growth opportunities in a $60 billion market.
The announcement is the result of a multi-year strategy from Validata to lead in the area of Continuous Testing, which includes Continuous Performance testing, cloud-based features and functionality to extend Enterprise testing into packaged applications, masked or synthetic test data management and virtualization for a more effective system provisioning. Through Continuous Testing and Monitoring measured against critical business objectives it enables to release apps faster than ever, and with testing in production it finds live issues providing predictive analytics and recommending bug fixes.
“Banks and financial institutions must be digital to the core to release their true potential. This will require major innovations and testing. Validata has also evolved significantly over the last few years with entirely new offerings that have enabled us to deliver agile @ scale, with Continuous Testing and Monitoring accelerating the digital transformation”, said Vaios Vaitsis, Founder and CEO at Validata Group.
“The vision to continue testing in production and provide fixes which impact business performance is within reach for the first time ever. Customer experience metrics prove the value of testing even further. Metrics like user satisfaction, retention and completed financial transactions help us detect the customer’s experience and deliver superior solutions”, continued Vaios.
The challenges and opportunity cannot be bigger than today.
Driven by major technology trends including cloud, mobile, test analytics and AI, Digital testing has moved rapidly to the center of the CIO strategy as banks are looking to drive cost efficiencies and modernize or replace their legacy systems. IDC expects testing spending to reach $60 billion in 2021.
All these new technologies are shaping the quality engineering industry as well bringing their own set of challenges that manual testing cannot address. The industry needs to disrupt in the same way the development IDE market has been transformed.
While digital is becoming mission critical for businesses, many organisations are still performing testing manually and while 80% or so wish to adopt Agile and DevOps, their automation levels are still extremely low unabling agile @ scale due to lack of Continuous Testing. To achieve agility @ scale which unlocks and accelerates digital transformation, organisations need to align to business objectives and make a change in the mindset.
Software makes more decisions today than ever before, inspecting, validating and monitoring our applications. Innovations in testing will unlock agile @ scale and accelerate DevOps as customers look to deliver with speed and quality at lower costs.
Today, testing is about the user experience, rather than testing the low-level code and how it will impact your business. So, incorporating AI into your test automation strategy is key for this to happen. Validata platform is the first one to use AI and machine learning to automatically generate test cases from real user actions, expanding test automation in the test case design creation and test results analysis across any device or digital app for the greatest digital experience.
