3. Reality Check Software Engineering
20 years back Software engineering was very different
• Low quality software was normal and expected
• Software was smaller
• Most software was bundled, shrink-wrapped, contracted
• Industry became dominated by one monopolistic vendor

Now the field has dramatically changed Today’s software market
• is much bigger
• is more competitive
• has more users
• used in more places
• The web offers a new deployment platform
• Very competitive and very available to more users

4. Gartner predicts
By 2020
 50 billion “Things” will
be connected to the
Internet

Internet
 60% of Businesses will
suffer a major service
failures

5. Challenges for
Testing
How to
? Incorporate blast of new
devices
? Break from the traditional
bug testing

bug testing
? Ensure quality is built-in
from the start
? Enhanced customer
experience

• Should development and testing become one?
• Should Testers need to become more techie
• Should Expose testers to all facets of the process
• Should Pairing with development

10. 1. Focus on Frictionless Automation
Organizations should automate all “wait” time activities
across the lifecycle to minimize cost and time-to-
market
• Provide continuous integration to integrate code in a single
repository multiple times a day.

repository multiple times a day.
• Invoke automation to compile and build applications
without manual intervention.
• Offer release automation for packaging and deploying
code.
• Enable continuous delivery to make every atomic change
releasable.

12. 2. Prevent Defects
The QA function needs to transition from a “project-oriented”
mindset to a “competency based” one.
• QA needs to predict the resulting code quality, using
measures applied to people, products, processes and
profiles.

profiles.
• To develop a defect-prevention capability
• Make extensive use of root-cause analysis.
• Adopt “shift-left” approach
• Collaborate better with the rest of the IT function to foresee
and prevent quality issues earlier in the lifecycle

13. 3. REACTIVE QA TO PROACTIVE QA

14. 4. INVEST IN INTELLIGENT APPLICATION AND
LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT PLATFORMS
• Allow users to reverse-engineer the dynamic behavior
of a given software application into layers of well-
abstracted architecture
• Delivering quick insights into requirements traceability,
defect prediction, data and infrastructure require

defect prediction, data and infrastructure require
• Allowing code to self-prepare test data and associated
rules to auto-adjust the execution flow

15. 5. FOCUS ON CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
• Priorities will shift from application testing to customer
experience testing.
• Test objectives will move beyond functional scenarios to
quality through the eyes of real customers
• Effort will be spent on replicating real customer
