T/DG Product Showcase: QARA Enterprise – The Complete Suite of Products for Automated Test Management
Software testing is an integral part of the software development lifecycle, as it is required to maintain the quality standards of the product, without a Quality Assurance team who performs testing on the product, it is impossible to develop and launch a product that meets user expectations and is free from bugs and defects that negatively affect the user experience.
However, in today’s highly competitive times when there is a demand for new features in a software application every once in a while, quality alone is not enough. The need of the hour is faster delivery of software applications and at the same time, sticking to the high quality standards. This need for speed is the reason QA teams need automation testing today. To make automation a success, there is the need for a systematic approach to test management.
