Wanted: Virtualization Opinions

The benefits of virtualization are well documented. We want to know what you think about or what your organization is doing with virtual lab management.

As an analyst firm, we are constantly seeking information on how technology is being used, what the pros and cons are, and what the primary benefits are. Virtual lab management is the technology we are currently investigating.

The sweet spot of virtual lab management is for testers to have an environment as close to production as possible. The result of virtual lab management – eliminating the never ending back and forth between testers and developers about defect replication, environments, etc.

But this sweet spot is only one use case for the technology. Let us know what you think, how you are using the technology, what would you like the technology to do. All of this is covered in our survey.

If you take the survey, you will receive a copy of the research report when we publish it.

So, give us your opinion and get the full report. Just click here and you will be taken to the survey.

Virtual lab management – it’s not just for test labs!

API Testing – Stop Waiting and Start Testing ASAP!

We have all heard that testers must keep pace with developers to deliver software faster. However, most testers continue to test at the UI level – which is constantly changing, so testers have to wait, and that impacts the ability to meet business demands for faster software releases. It becomes a cycle that testers have a hard time escaping. Testers want to be able to test earlier, reduce risk, and identify defects sooner – all to satisfy the customer. API testing is the perfect way to supplement traditional UI testing, keep pace with development, and deliver better quality at scale!  API testing can help you test earlier, faster, and more efficiently! And now, we have the data to show you the benefits of API testing including how much time is spent on UI testing alone, how much (or should I say little) time is spend on unit and API testing, and how much coverage is achieved.  We will be premiering the results of our recent survey on API testing in a webinar wi...

World Quality Report 2016 – 2017 Launch Highlights

I had the opportunity to attend the launch of the 8 th annual World Quality Report 2016 -2017 (WQR) authored by Capgemini and Sogeti , in collaboration with HPE . You can download a complimentary copy of the WQR here  This annual undertaking by the three companies is a global survey of 1600 participants consisting of 44 questions. The result is an 80-page report that provides a baseline for testing and QA trends. The launch event featured WQR co-authors Mark Buenen, Vice President, Global Leader, Sogeti QA and Testing Practice, Netherlands and Govindarajan Muthukrishnan, Senior Vice President,   Financial Services Testing Leader, United Kingdom. The co-authors spoke eloquently for about 30 minutes each on highlights of the WQR.  Following are some of the highlights from Mark and Govind’s WQR launch presentation. Overview As organizations continue on the path of digital transformation, there is immense pressure on the QA organization to d...

Life is a Database Old Chum… We are rabid consumers of information. We want our information fast. We want our information to be accurate. And, we want our information any time and any where. We can be this demanding because we know everything of importance has been cataloged, filed, arranged, and assigned a key field – at least electronically. Now, as consumers of data we are not too concerned about the infrastructure supporting our insatiable need for fast, reliable, and on the go information. However, someone has to do the behind the scenes work so we don’t suffer in our quest for information. For years we have had developers toiling over performance algorithms to help us over the hurdle of server constraints. It was the best we could do. Enter ENCIRQ . The ENCIRQ Data Foundation Framework gives developers everything they have been wanting…a way to get away from the classic client / server database architecture. Client / server is so 1980’s. With this model, ENCIRQ just ...
