How BT leverages test automation to accelerate its digital transformation

The basic keys to building a customer-centric product lie in understanding your users’ needs and integrating them in your development processes in an efficient way. For companies offering a wide range of services to many different user profiles, it is crucial to be able to test fast, at large scale and without wasting resources.

With a broad portfolio of services and products ranging from broadband to mobile and TV packages, BT puts an emphasis on ensuring the highest quality through each release without creating testing overhead. As BT transitions to DevOps, it also needed to extend its testing capabilities in a way that would fit their fast-paced setup.
