work in silos and dont communicate/speak the same languagewe have a
changed requirement, what do I need to test?By the time we found a
major issue with the architecture it was too late to economically

offering optimized to discover issues early and streamline the flow
actionable informationThe majority of testing is done here no more,
no repro
Actionable feedback
Fast forward for manual testing
70% Testing hereAs code is developed automate critical tests
Unit testing, Code Coverage, Coded UI Testing
Test impact analysis, Gated Check-insDramatically improving the
build, deploy test workflow Test from an on-demand, known state
Snapshot complex environmentsFind problems early lowering the
impact of design flaws
Validate design decisions
Simulate production loadTeam HubA 360 degree view of
relationships and progress ensures you are ready to ship.
Test Case Management
Transparency across all roles
Streamlined flow of feedback8
Quality Dashboard
Are we making progress on running test plans?How quickly are we
fixing bugs?Are the tests covering the code on builds?Are build
failures blocking progress?Do the fixes actually fix the bugs?How
fast is code changing?9
