JULY BRANCH FORUM
Testing Trends and Developments

NATIONAL ICT CAREERS WEEK

Organisations and the community at large are becoming increasingly dependant on IT systems, and as a consequence, testing and QA activities are becoming more important to help ensure that business objectives are being achieved.

IT failures scattered across today’s newspapers are highlighting the need for organisations to place more emphasis on testing and quality assurance in order to reduce the risk of system deployment and to remain competitive.

This presentation gives an overview of:

• How testing has been changing to meet the demands of today
• the critical challenges faced by testing professionals
• Testing techniques used by Test Managers in Australia’s leading organisations
• Frequently found testing improvement opportunities
