The New Economics of
Test Automation
Linda Hayes, President,

The New Economy is changing the
dynamics of the market and the economics of test automation. There
has never been a better time to invest the time and money to deploy
the processes and tools necessary to achieve successful automation.
In this keynote presentation, Linda Hayes discusses ways to
reposition your test organization from a technical cost center to a
business investment opportunity to gain the attention and commitment
of senior management. Find out how to get more time and money, and
what to deliver instead of bug reports. Discover why testing must
change—and learn ways to "reinvent by rethinking" your
purpose. Develop an understanding of what test automation really
means in the New Economy and how it can successfully impact your
organization.
