Key Findings

YOUR NEXT STEPS

Companies today should ask three important questions:

Does our testing strategy prepare us for the digital disruption to our business?
Do we have the right level of investment in digital testing processes, tools and resources?
Is our testing strategy designed for application resiliency and managing security vulnerabilities in this highly-connected world?

Testing organizations can use the research findings to provoke discussions with their business leadership to define a comprehensive digital testing strategy.
