Scaling QA with Community: A Strategic Approach to Test Automation

Organizations under pressure to release new digital services, apps, and features faster often attempt to automate large portions of the quality assurance process. Unfortunately, few companies can build test automation at the same rate as they develop. In-house teams are often stretched thin, and it can be difficult to attract and retain staff with the required skills.

To make sure automation efforts keep pace with new features and provide adequate coverage, some companies are turning to community-based test automation. This flexible approach allows organizations to quickly expand automation and test coverage without adding staff or overhead.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

• The benefits of a community-based approach to test automation
  
• Where community-based automation teams fit into the development and QA process
  
• How to determine whether community-based automation is right for your organization
