INDUSTRIALISED IT QUALITY
Companies are under pressure to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their quality and testing processes at the heart of the Test Automation Factory, building the test framework and executing test cases; it can be scaled up or down flexibly and rapidly to suit customers’ needs. Forecasting Until recently, one of the primary reasons for a manufacturing company to industrialise IT quality was to provide evidence of testing; for example, process manufacturing companies that have to provide evidence for GxP or other standards
such as J-SOX. Some of these companies have embraced automation and managed testing services to provide this evidence. However, over the next few years all manufacturing companies should carefully consider the benefits provided by industrialised IT quality not only in terms of evidence for reporting, but also to provide greater business agility to enhance revenues and ensure standardised and cross-application processes to improve profits. 13
