Software is now at the forefront of most companies’ strategies — even in traditional industries like financial services, energy and retail. Software’s place in the enterprise has extended beyond traditional systems of record to become a revenue driver and the preferred tool for building customer relationships. But when it comes to how the software delivery team is structured and prioritized, it’s often the case that testing continues to play second fiddle to development.

Today, our cars are connected to networks, our smartphones can control the temperature in our homes, our shoes tell us how far we walked and smart home assistants read us the headlines and the weather.

Those who are the most successful have also figured out how to consistently release high-quality software, even as delivery methods evolve and release timelines shrink.
