RULE 2: Run More Tests and Find More Issues
SOASTA Webinar Series
Why Can’t We Test More?We’ve Been Distracted
Sourcing, provisioning, & making-do with marginal load generation infrastructure
Process-mired, code-based test development
Digging through big data haystacks seeking information

Let’s Dig In…
Quickly build tests with a visual programming interface
Leverage the cloud for testing at unlimited scale
Run tests anytime on your schedule
And, (the really hard part)Know what to do with the DATA (and there is a LOT)
Delivering more results may require a Mindset Reset
Let’s Look at the NEW RULES
