In today’s hyper-competitive software market, companies are ever pressing to deliver products more quickly and efficiently. As a result, it is imperative for organizations to implement a more strategic approach to quality. A strategic approach requires QA teams to gather more comprehensive data on the value of quality tasks in the delivery pipeline. And it often requires a different approach to reporting, and a focus on metrics that help the business measure release readiness and assess overall application quality.

Join us as Adam Satterfield, shares the key metrics today’s software QA teams should be collecting, how to tell the story of your data and how to better understand different audiences within your organization to deliver insights that matter.
