• Social Media
• Mobile communications, and …
• E-Commerce

This social media revolution and the additional flexibility provided by cloud infrastructure and the capability to process information – has been enhanced by more granular pieces of information through analytics.

This has resulted in IT getting involved increasingly in critical decision-making.

Decisions affecting revenues cannot be implemented without IT’s support. As a result, IT organizations are now expected to deliver changes to the implemented functionality, as well as new functionality within days, if not hours.

In this interactive webinar you will:

1. Explore how organizations are pursuing a more integrated testing approach to mitigate risks in introduction of new channels (such as social media and mobile communications) to increase the risk of change that customer interaction in one channel will impact another.
2. Explore the heightened importance of non-functional tests such as security testing, accessibility testing, and assessment of operational readiness.
3. Learn how QA can put to work the new tools such as cloud infrastructure and on-demand testing (Testing-as-a-Service) as options to meet demands.
4. Explore the role of new tools in the market that enable QA to pass through this paradigm shift.

In this web seminar, Manoj Narayanan (LinkedIn profile) and Murali Bandaru analyze the changes that QA organizations are making to adapt to this need for faster responsiveness. While agile is a favored response, many organizations, especially retailers, are increasingly adopting a rapid iterative approach coupled with a strong focus on shift-left testing.

Manoj and Murali conclude with a transition framework that QA organizations can adopt to facilitate a planned transformation attuned to the demands of the world of digital commerce.
