Why this Presentation? Quality in software delivery and sustainment will always have competing pressures between capability desired and the budget/time/quality delivered. As we approach the year 2020 technology landscape there are additional competing pressures we need to understand to be most effective with quality going forward. We will take a closer look and discuss these new challenges – for example:
- Client/Customer expectations and expected results will change and impact product roadmaps in new ways – what does this mean to the QA role ?
Target Audience: Expert/Advanced
