The Need for Testing

"Build it, test it, and fix the things that go wrong.

Repeat the process until the desired reliability is achieved.

It is a feedback process and there is no other way."

David Packard

A tipping point for application delivery

2010 4 per app

201536 per app

2020120 per app

“New application projects surge in 2013 and beyond.”

“Social, mobile, analytics, cloud have reached the tipping point in 2013.”

2013

Surging application numbers

Number of releases per app per year

• Apps everywhere

• Accessed through multiple devices

• 30x increase in application releases

• Closed feedback loop with customers

• Focus on time-to-value and ROI

What we expect:

Delivering change continuously and fast is risky

Test and QAthroughout the Application Lifecycle will address these risks

The Risks:

Changeis constant

• New implementations• Support packs• Customizations

Speed impacts bottom line• Time to revenue• Cost of implementation

Interdependenceincreases business risk

• Apps are interdependent• Each change adds to risk
