Modern digital users have the patience level of a typical 5-year-old. Apps that incorporate software testing tools have one core objective to meet: not to make the first encounter with a glitchy UI and unusable functionalities. Software quality in software engineering is a general expectation business stakeholders have. Unfortunately, testing is also “sacrifice” for time to market, postponing the release date and rejecting builds last minute in the development process.

Don’t sacrifice scalability for savings - have it both ways When left unchecked, the cumulative costs of your company data can ramp up fast. From training CPU-intensive machine learning algorithms that aren’t used in production to supporting enormous databases storing every minute event “just in case”. Letting your data operating costs run without checks and balances can quickly cause costs to bloat beyond your allocated budgets.

Software testability measures how simple it is to test both the system as a whole and each individual component. Testability might mean different things for different members of the software development lifecycle. Remember how deeply frustrating it was to rewrite dozens of UI tests when a front-end developer made a small change that broke all the locators? Or the several restless nights spent fixing minor performance issues that aren't reproducible on the local machine?

Domino’s Pizza, one of the world’s top restaurant brands, already knows how to translate data into great customer experiences and stronger sales with Talend.
