In today’s disruptive business environment, it’s crucial for enterprises to champion cutting-edge learning platforms that keep their workforce ahead in the race. And undoubtedly, the key ingredient to every enterprise learning initiative is content.

Quality and usability of content is an area of concern for L&D teams globally. Research shows that 66% of organizations encounter challenges in finding, delivering, and tracking content.

As it’s critical for achieving business goals and implementing growth strategies for employees, organizations rely heavily on third-party content sources for internal training programs.

By doing so, an exorbitant amount of time and money is invested in the creation and dissemination, further impacting the growth chart and business goals.

So how can enterprises overcome these key problems to ensure seamless deployment of learning content across the globe?

Join Jamal Watkins, for a stimulating conversation on effective ways of sourcing and deploying learning content to a global workforce.

In this session, we will learn how:

• Enterprises can reduce an admin’s role in the content creation process
• Multilingual capabilities can increase overall productivity
• Content impacts business growth
• In-house content creation affects timely deployment of learning programs

• “Test as little as possible, but don’t let bugs slip out into production.”
• “Do not delay the release, but make sure the product is clean.”
• “You are responsible for the quality of the product, but none of the testers report to you.

These are some of the challenges being presented to testing and quality professionals worldwide, and they are the result of the many changes happening around us, specifically around the adoption of Agile, DevOps and web technologies on a global scale.

As these challenges take hold, we are starting to see the title of QA & Testing Architect being used to describe the person within the organization who is responsible for the overall testing and quality aspects of the product.

This emerging role encompasses the traditional tasks of testing, but it also shifts left into the quality of the requirements or user stories being gathered, and right into the performance of our product while being deployed and while they run in production.

Using the results of PractiTest’s annual The State of Testing™ surveys as well as his experience working with hundreds of testing teams around the world, Joel Montvelisky, Co-Founder and Chief Solution Architect at PractiTest, will explore how the role of the Testing & Quality Architect is being shaped and what it means for testing professionals in today’s teams.

In this interactive webinar you will:

1. What does a Test & QA Architect do and why is the role gaining popularity within the industry?
2. What skills and tools does the Test Architect need to have in order to effectively advance their agenda within their company and across the independent development teams?
3. What skills and tools does the Test Architect need to have in order to effectively advance their agenda within their company and across the independent development teams?
4. What benefits and business value can be generated by correctly adopting this role within your organization?
5. How can this evolutionary change positively impact the growth and maturation of test automation within the community?
