12:00 - 13:00 MITIGATING IT RISKS BY AUTOMATED TESTING
Roughly half of IT project risks can be mitigated with (better) testing. The average IT project spends thirty percent of the time and money on this. Since testing is largely done manually and in the final project phases, it is almost always a delaying factor.
The good news is that with the current state of the art, ninety percent of the test work can be automated. This is common practice for large software companies like Google, Microsoft and Meta. We see that 'ordinary' companies are also investing in this.
But automated testing is 'a second software project': a complex set of scripts, data and tooling, parallel to the software itself. Unfortunately, most CIOs, IT managers and risk managers underestimate its complexity.
After this presentation you will know how automated software testing works, what the best tools are and what the points of attention and pitfalls are. This enables you to turn automated testing into a sustainable success.
