INDUSTRIALISED IT QUALITY
Companies are under pressure to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their quality and testing processes
at the heart of the Test Automation Factory , building the test framework and executing test cases ; it can be scaled up or down flexibly and rapidly to suit customers ’ needs .
Forecasting Until recently , one of the primary reasons for a manufacturing company to industrialise IT quality was to provide evidence of testing ; for example , process manufacturing companies that have to provide evidence for GxP or other standards such as J-SOX . Some of these companies have embraced automation and managed testing services to provide this evidence .
However , over the next few years all manufacturing companies should carefully consider the benefits provided by industrialised IT quality not only in terms of evidence for reporting , but also to provide greater business agility to enhance revenues and ensure standardised and cross-application processes to improve profits .
