Presented by: 
Ideabytes Inc.

In a market place where product life cycles are decreasing to as little as 3 months, how does one test to meet the market window, maintain quality, and minimize cost? Outsourcing head-count that utilizes elbow-grease just won’t cut it. In this session experience the power of robotic automation where test scripts are the product of a high-level system definition. Review case studies where Robotic automation has yielded high quality products in a time constrained development cycle. Robotic automation is capable of generating fully documented Test suites – a luxury that is unaffordable using manual methods. This documentation of IPR has 2 big values, first for the valuation of a business and the other to handle staff attrition. The documentation becomes invaluable to ramping up new staff in short order.
