This session will cover topics related to framework for detecting defects in the requirement stage, intelligent test scenario generator, web services validator, Automation test accelerator for ERP systems and an innovative browser compatibility test accelerator. These tools have helped enterprises and ISVs accelerate their market readiness and have reduced the overall QA costs by almost 20-25%. Tune into this session and explore the future of software testing.
