Developing high quality software can be like chasing a mirage - you keep advancing but the goal remains distant. The buzz says if you're not leveraging the latest methodology or using innovative tools you'll be left behind. However, you may be surprised by what the experts recognize as the keys to developing high quality software.
SmartBear invites you to join our expert panel as they share their experience and recommend approaches to meet the challenges you face in developing high quality software. Find out how the experts:
- Shape, drive or change the development process to ensure the best possible software quality.
- Implement practices that lead to better software quality regardless of your development methodology.
- Prevent planning and process from slowing development cycles and increasing the chance of errors resulting in poor software quality.
- Believe that you can still be innovative even if you are not Agile.
Our expert panel will address these and other topics to help ensure your development efforts result in the highest quality software possible. The panel includes:
