Quality Assurance must shift to smarter solutions as the complexity of applications and need for speed increasePARIS, Sept. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Capgemini, a global leader in consulting and technology services, and Sogeti, its Technology and Engineering Services subsidiary, today released the 9th edition of the World Quality Report published in conjunction with Micro Focus. This year's report examines the state of application quality and testing practices across multiple sectors1 and 32 countries. The report reveals how testing teams are facing challenges on two main fronts: a significant reduction in annual testing budgets, and the ongoing shift towards agile development and DevOps approaches. The survey also shows a lack of maturity in the area of smart testing adoption, with only 16 percent of respondents using these technologies to their full potential. Testing budgets fall, but are expected to rise again New models emerge as agile and DevOps disrupt testing teams Smart testing technologies are under-exploited Hans van Waayenburg, Member of the Group Executive Committee at Capgemini and Head of Sogeti, said: "This year's World Quality Report demonstrates that testing teams are coming of age, but facing new challenges with the shift to agile applications. Digital transformation provides a huge opportunity for growth, but organizations must be proactive in breaking down silos between business, development, quality and operations, while using agile and DevOps to focus on customer value and business relevance. To retain a competitive edge, quality assurance and test organizations must move towards test ecosystem automation, predictive analytics and intelligence-led quality assurance and testing, for better business outcomes." Raffi Margaliot, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Application Delivery Management, Micro Focus, said: "We are proud to deliver this year's World Quality Report to help IT and application delivery leaders around the world understand and plan for the disrupting forces of agile, DevOps and digital transformation. With our customers witnessing the confluence of these megatrends every day, the report becomes all the more relevant for business decision makers.
