Delivering high-quality software is about more than writing good code. It requires that teams define and manage the right requirements and that quality is managed throughout the delivery life cycle, as opposed to testing only at the end.
Companies that understand that requirements and quality must go hand in hand are integrating their software requirements and quality assurance practices, knowing that strength in these areas, paired with strong development and project management, leads to better software. Software delivery no longer happens sequentially; it happens concurrently and iteratively. These companies are taking a more holistic view of quality. By breaking down the silos between their requirements, development, and testing teams and their practices, they are delivering more effectively because quality is baked into the process from beginning to end.
This one-day Workshop highlights current trends in software delivery and helps you understand how successful organizations are improving software delivery by optimizing and integrating requirements and quality assurance practices.
In this Workshop, Forrester analysts help you:
- Understand the benefits of optimizing and integrating your software requirements and quality assurance practices and begin to establish goals encompassing both product and process quality.
- Build high-quality software that meets business needs by using best practices in requirements definition, requirements management, and quality assurance.
- Understand how a project's structure changes when you integrate requirements and quality assurance practices.
- Learn how roles, responsibilities, and metrics change in a more integrated, quality-driven environment and how to transition from a siloed development team to an integrated team focused on quality.
