As businesses grapple with the challenges posed by the current economic climate, the need for software development and testing sectors to adapt and innovate has never been more critical. This webinar is designed for practitioners and executives who are striving to make their SDLC operations more efficient and resilient in the face of financial constraints.

Engage with industry experts and explore a case study demonstrating a powerful example of how one large enterprise has successfully navigated the economic downturn by streamlining its tech stack. By rethinking the fundamentals of your test automation tech stack, this session will guide you through strategic changes that can reduce costs, enhance agility, and expand coverage, all while maintaining a competitive edge.

Key takeaways:

  • Adopting Lean Methodologies: Discover how to apply lean methodologies to your tech stack, reducing redundancies and operational costs and increasing development speed without sacrificing quality.
  • Embracing Automation and Cloud Technologies: Learn the importance of leaning into commoditized cloud technologies (that you might already be using) for a scalable, flexible tech stack that responds effectively to changing demands.
  • Fostering a Culture of Innovation: Understand how to utilize economic constraints as a catalyst for innovation, encouraging agile and DevOps practices that lead to continuous improvement and a competitive advantage.
  • Strategic Resilience: Gain insights into building a tech stack that not only withstands economic downturns but also positions your organization for growth and success through strategic adaptation and efficiency.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to transform economic challenges into a springboard for optimization, innovation, and long-term resilience.

Key takeaways:

  • Cost savings: The traditional approach of using a grid for end-to-end browser testing can be expensive. By spreading out the test execution horizontally and using more affordable options, you can reduce infrastructure costs.
  • Improved test stability: The traditional approach often leads to flaky tests due to the high number of round trips to the application under test. By reducing the number of round trips and using a concurrency approach, you can minimize test flakiness and improve overall test stability.
  • Faster feedback: The example demonstrates a goal of getting feedback within a specific timeframe, such as 15 minutes. By streamlining the test execution process and utilizing concurrency, you can achieve faster feedback on test results, enabling quicker identification and resolution of issues.
  • Cross-browser coverage: The Applitools UltraFast Grid allows for cross-browser coverage without increasing infrastructure spend. This means you can test your application on multiple browsers without incurring additional costs or complexity.
