• - Testing catalyzed through test
• data generation and management
Mobile Application Testing
•Over 500 million mobile phones
• by 2014

Testing-as-a-service
• Key benefits:

- Software is consumer centric - Working with a large group of people - Expertise in specialized area(s) is required
- Necessity in end user scenarious simulation - Not enough resources/ time, clear product requirements and overall strategy - Access to global talent and diverse set of skills.
Testing catalyzed through test data generation and management
• - Confidential information gets exposed to testers
•- A breach of this data can lead to serious damage
• - Test data management ensures the availability and security of the test data by obfuscating it on large scale testing engagements.
• - Lots of testing vendors are now researching on various methods to mask this data
• - ‘Test-only’ data help maintain
• privacy and security
How is QA going to change? • – More testing by End user 5%

31%
Future of QA - Automation
• - Get requirements right by thoroughly testing them.
• - Automating the writing of the test cases and test
scripts.
• - Automated environment for testing.
• - Deployment testing is automated.
• - Production is automatically
