Software testing trends in Australia and beyond
Jason Lee, Mark Pedersen · 2013
This presentation looks at trends in software testing within the Australian context and compares them to broader global software testing practices by means of case studies from within global software development firms. Using the 2012 Australian Software Testing Industry Benchmark to provide a thorough analysis of current and emerging testing approaches and investigate general perceptions of the role of software testing, the presentation examines practices from research and development (R&D) companies as a point of comparison. The benchmark survey is structured to allow organisations to: - Compare themselves with the benchmarks achieved by other organisations in their sector. - Identify areas of strength and weakness. - Use this information to drive decisions regarding resource and budget allocation. - Compare how their efforts in testing are contributing to project success.
