5 Stages of Digital Quality Maturity
Nowadays many dev/test teams are finding themselves in a challenging situation where innovation has to accelerate (to meet competitive pressure), agile release cycles shorten to 2-3 weeks, and user expectation for quality digital apps is only rising. Quality activities don't seem to fit into an agile cycle, flaky tests, lack of access to devices and browsers, significant analysis time etc. Many organizations find themselves with a legacy quality approach that is impossible to maintain, flaky, and doesn't fit itself into the agile approach.

Unlock Hidden Potential from Manual Tests by Adding Artificial Intelligence to API Testing
API testing is hard, so testers have historically focused on UI testing, even though API testing can more precisely pinpoint the root cause of defects, is easier to automate, and is more resistant to application change. To lower the technical skills required and help organizations adopt API testing, Parasoft has introduced artificial intelligence into its API testing solution, Parasoft SOAtest, which can now magically convert UI tests into automated, scalable API tests, that teams can easily build into a more comprehensive testing strategy. In this session, join Product Manager Chris...
