Duration:1 hour Webcast – Up to 1 Category C PDU – Free PDU
Hosted By: StickyMinds/Techwell

The journey to automate testing and enable developers to efficiently test their code as they write it is no easy feat, but the long-term benefits automation can provide by far outweigh the short-term discomforts.

By automating testing during development, software defects are identified earlier in the process, when they take a fraction of the time, cost, and resource to fix, while minimizing the number of defects that escape into the field or production.

Attend this web seminar and learn how Andreas Kuehlmann (LinkedIn profile), Senior Vice President of R&D at Coverity, drove this transformation to automate testing within his development team and managed the internal culture change.

Andreas will discuss:

1. Insourcing QA to gain more control over resources
2. Reducing time delays and eliminating cultural barriers
3. Changing the skill set of the team

Andreas will also explain how he decreased the amount of time for hardening minor releases from two weeks to three days, reduced the number of manual testing days from seventeen to four, and increased the number of automated tests for a critical component from zero to over 3,400.
