A long time ago, we started building software, basic calculator stuff. Small, uncluttered, and light software. Then we increased the size, complexity, and dependencies. As the complexities of the software applications increased, the need for software testing became more and more apparent. That was when Manual testing of software applications came into being.

With these challenges solved, app teams have more time to build and innovate.

Software teams have found themselves in the center of the business’ strategy.
