Test Smart: Practical Strategies to boost Effectiveness and Efficiency of your Integration and Verification cycles
Many of you will recognize that verification timelines in development programs are often stretched. Growing product complexity, how to test AI based functionality, growing number of product configurations, last minute changes and defect fixes, etc. they require more and more flexibility from the verification team to deliver on our commitments. That’s where we challenged ourselves with following questions: Can we increase our flexibility? Can we increase our test coverage? Can we test everything always? And can we increase our efficiency to reduce our verification lead-time by >50%?
Having a well thought vision and test strategy for this is key. I will explain the vision and strategy we have implemented and share some of the key learnings and best practices that might help you start and implement a similar transformation.
