Modern QA strategies go beyond bug hunting best practices and have become in-depth philosophical, methodological cultures precisely crafted to an individual business’s goals. For brands that want high-quality digital products, QA is a critical tool in all parts of the dev cycle and the CI/CD pipeline. As a new year promises new challenges, products, and shifting consumer demands, technicality, functionality, and thorough QA will be critical to business success.
As diversity initiatives are top of mind entering 2022, companies are hungry to acquire and retain more female talent in QA. A recent Traliant and World Business Research survey of 300 US organizations across industries reported 89% of companies having a formal DEI strategy in place and 79% allocating more budget and/or resources to DEI in 2022 than in 2021. Implementing a distributed workforce is an emerging yet critical tool for acquiring female QA talent.
