Optimized Testing: Balancing quality, cost and schedules

BANGALORE, INDIA: In a perfect world IT would be able to take full advantage of its testing processes, ensuring that it would exhaustively test businesscritical functionality. Unfortunately, most testing organizations are limited by time constraints, costs and resource conflicts. Without a clear testing strategy tied directly to business-specific objectives, many IT organizations face an uphill battle trying to reduce and eliminate risks associated with defective applications. They are uncertain whether to focus their testing efforts on functionality, performance, end-user expectations or the infrastructure in which the application is being deployed. As a result, IT organizations are in the dark about how relevant their testing is to business needs. What’s needed is an approach that allows IT to better manage their testing efforts to reduce risk and improve effectiveness, while limiting the resources and time investments required.

One way that enterprises are improving their testing effectiveness is by using an optimized testing approach to quality assurance. Optimized testing is a practical approach to improving application quality that balances quality, cost and schedules so IT managers can prioritize testing and optimize limited resources. It allows IT managers and testers to determine the best place to apply testing time and resources to deliver a high-quality application to the business. With optimized testing, IT organizations can move beyond the limits of basic quality control approaches that focus on finding individual, tactical problems so they can focus on a more effective combination of tactical and strategic efforts that eliminate risks, target testing to business needs, automate the right tests and balance testing resources in line with corporate goals.
