Developing an Enterprise-Wide Testing Strategy

by Martyn Emery, David Evans

Many studies have been devoted to new requirements devolving from the advent of the Internet Age, particularly the needs to manage fast and constant change and for 24/7 resilience. Yet the role of testing in all this has been strangely neglected. In this Executive Report, we explain why testing strategies also need to change, and how. The proposals made are relevant to all organizations of significant size, whatever their industry orientation. The greatest benefits will be realized, however, in organizations where testing practices are autonomous per project and control is widely distributed.
