Enterprise Test Management With Xray

Quickly learn how to structure your entire test management suite using Xray for Jira.

Overview

Software testing is increasingly becoming an important part of software development for companies and organizations. To ensure that released software is of the highest possible quality testing is crucial for organizations and is especially important for enterprise applications that serve thousands of users daily. 

Enterprise applications have a lot of components working together to enable the user to carry out their goals. As such, creating and managing tests for each component by hand would be extremely tedious! A better approach is to use a test management solution to help you easily keep track of all testing activities. Using a test management solution such as Xray or Jira will assist in this process and even automate some of the processes for you.

This 2-day workshop is designed for professionals looking to develop a software testing plan utilizing various industry tools to ensure their software performs at peak capability.
