Enterprise Application Testing

Manufacturers are providing their customers with software updates in ever shorter release cycles, which they can use to strengthen their innovative power - provided they manage to test and deploy the updates quickly. But many companies' testing strategies are not efficient and lean enough for this. How do successful companies approach software testing and turn it into a driver for innovation? Tricentis explores this question in its annual report "How the World's Top Organizations Test", which is now available.

Quality managers and IT executives in 100 leading global organizations with revenues of five billion U.S. dollars or more - including Fortune 500 companies (or equivalents worldwide) and government agencies in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific - were surveyed. Software testing and its pitfalls are immensely underestimated.

Even for seemingly simple application updates, there are a high number of different testing approaches, paths, conditions or device configurations that need to be tested before go-live to avoid malfunctions or failures. At the enterprise level, software testing is still the main cause of delays in roll-outs. To date, on average, only 15 percent of tests are automated and manual testing is still widespread.
