Dalim Khandaker, Vice-President, Quality Assurance and Testing Practice and Tony Fok, Senior Quality Assurance Lead - will be speaking on the topic of Achieve Quality Results through a Defined Testing Process
Location: The Delta Chelsea Hotel
The demand for software is increasing at a rapid pace with no end in sight. This growth has spawned a dramatic increase in globally distributed software development activity, which in turn, has sharpened the focus on using a defined software testing process for building software. Without a defined process, testing is unmanaged and unprocessed causing results to be half haphazard, uncontrollable, and poor quality. Additionally many enterprise software solutions have complicated software installation procedures which can cause erroneous installation and eventually cause software failures if the process is not well defined. In complex software projects, testing experience plays a valuable role in intuition-based error detection, which should also be part of a defined software testing process. Some enterprises expect quality results but do not see the connection between quality and defined processes. Join Dalim and Tony as they present:
- How to educate software stakeholders and management on the value of implementing a defined software testing process.
- How to streamline the software installation process through a well managed repository of common errors for troubleshooting configuration issues.
- How to use experience-based testing and error detection within the testing process.
