Developing A QA Strategy That Works Is Challenging

Developing a QA strategy that continues to work well as your organization scales is even more difficult.

While the market demands faster deployment cycles than ever before, QA teams are smaller than they have ever been, and many struggle to move as fast as they need to.

There’s no one-size-fits-all QA process, but the most successful teams have a few key characteristics in common.

Join Derek Choy to discover how organizations keep their QA teams and processes lean while gaining the insights they need to ship high-quality software.

Learn:

1. Why taking a strategic approach to how you test helps optimize QA resources, no matter the size of your team
2. How to set up your QA process for fast, clear insights, from testing environments to workflow integrations
3. The role of automation in a highly efficient QA workflow
4. How to use quality metrics to measure and iterate your QA strategy
