Unfortunately, market pressure for the delivery of new functionality and applications has also never been stronger. This combination creates increasing pressure on software test organizations to improve test coverage while meeting ever-shorter deadlines with static or even declining resources. The only practical means to achieving quality goals within the constraints of schedules and budgets is to automate.

The Secret Skill – How to Sell Testing

Tuesday August 23rd 2011 12am Rated 4 2 Comments Testing Performance Management Services Development Software Project Management Technology User Training
We’ve all had that after meeting discussion with ourselves of, “I thought I explained that point clearly to them. I couldn’t get them to buy-in to what I was talking about. Why don’t they see my point, they just don’t get it.” Sound familiar? It wasn’t that they didn’t get it; it was a problem with how you sold it. You didn’t know about the secret skill.

- The Technology Behind Static Code Analysis for Identifying Concurrency Defects Most developers would agree that consumers of software today continually demand more from their applications. Because of its pace of evolution to date, the world now anticipates a seemingly endless expansion of capabilities from their software, regardless of where that software is applied.
