Description

Shortening the time to market of new software systems without compromising their quality is a challenge that every company faces. Time-to-market pressures, building new Service-Oriented Architectures, complying with regulatory requirements, and working with geographically distributed teams add additional complexities that can derail software testing projects that aren't ready for these challenges.

To meet these challenges, successful IT organizations are taking a strategic approach to quality assurance, applying the practices of business governance to achieve a competitive advantage through better software. Whether you are planning to build expertise in your IT organization, or looking for partners with testing expertise, Rational® software quality solutions and best practices can provide you with the framework and tools needed to use excellence in software testing as a strategic business advantage.
