Webinars
On-demand Web Seminar –Google, IDC and Skytap Discuss Cloud-based Automated Development and Testing Framework
Shipping high quality software on time and on budget is a tough challenge. Development and test teams struggle with:
• Getting access to scalable IT environments that support multiple OS, DB and testing tools
• Gaining the ability to reproduce exact load test and customer scenarios that allows them to focus on what changed.
The Google Chrome team faced a similar challenge. They moved to the cloud model and developed a “test bot” framework that uses Skytap. As a result, they are able to skip >95% of test work that isn’t interesting because it hasn’t changed.
Join this webinar to learn how Jason Arbon from Google created his innovative cloud based “testing bots” approach. In addition, Melinda Ballou from IDC will discuss how cloud computing is changing the automated development and testing landscape.
Sundar Raghavan will share successes that other customers such as Calypso, Serena, and LANDesk are experiencing with Skytap to reduce testing costs by 70% or more.
