Why is testing slowing delivery? Why is my application so difficult to test?

Businesses are demanding more functionality, more quickly, and more frequently. In this session we will highlight some of the underlying causes why testing can prove to be challenging in terms of the scope, scale, time, and effort, required. We will use an analysis tool (MATRIX), developed by the Unisys U.K. services team and available as a tool or via a services engagement, to illustrate some of these causes and how they might be addressed.

This session highlights some of the modelling and coding features that AB Suite offers to enable clients to gradually refactor their applications – including examples based on client experiences - while avoiding those understandable fears.
