Summit Overview
For more than 15 years organizations have been investing in the promise of better, cheaper, and faster testing through automation.  While some companies have achieved demonstrable business value from their forays into test automation, many others have experienced questionable to negative returns on their investments.  Join your host, Scott Barber, for this three day online summit, to hear how seven recognized leaders in test automation have achieved real business value by implementing a variety of automation flavors and styles for their employers and clients.  Learn how to answer the ROI question by focusing on business value instead of testing tasks, and how to implement automation in ways that deliver that value to the business, not just to the development and/or test team.

Who Should Attend
The Achieving Business Value with Test Automation summit was designed for software test and quality assurance professionals responsible for planning and implementing a test automation strategy. Specifically, it is designed for those professionals who are driven to make their test automation framework more effective efficient and valuable to their organization.  Novices will be introduced to new concepts and practical ideas, while seasoned professionals will learn new approaches to enhance their abilities.
