Quality engineering (QE) is a process by which software quality is not simply “assured,” it is tested, analyzed, and improved throughout the application development lifecycle.

When implemented correctly, QE drastically shortens testing time and creates more speed, flexibility, and reliability throughout the development lifecycle.

Transitioning from QA to QE provides huge benefits to performance, but it also requires significant changes to people, processes, and tools.

Attend this web seminar to learn the practical steps required to facilitate a shift from quality assurance to quality engineering, including:

• Getting started with a QE initiative
• Evolving your processes for QE
• Adapting job roles for a QE environment

IT leaders are being asked to more strongly support initiatives such as digital business but with little or no increase to their budgets.

This quandary can be resolved if “keeping the lights on” or “run” costs can be significantly reduced so that more funds can be shifted toward initiatives to grow and transform the enterprise.

Given that about 55% of the IT budget is comprised of infrastructure and operations (I&O) expenses – and about 80% of I&O costs are “run” – your focus should be on reducing what is spent on I&O.

Discussion Topics:

• How you should analyze I&O costs to identify and prioritize cost reduction opportunities
• What Gartner sees as the “big hits” to further reduce I&O costs
• How much can likely be saved and how much more can then be spent on, for example, digital business
