Classic data modeling and history-based actuarial models do not comprehensively work anymore. In order to get useful insights that can be implemented to support customers and the business, insurers must rapidly incorporate new data sources in their analysis. Current events that are different than anything we have seen in recent history force us to get used to a new world that cannot totally be evaluated and analyzed based on historical experience and knowledge.

The internet has become an integral part of our lives. Be it work or daily chores, we can’t imagine getting through the day without it. As our reliance on internet increases day by day, a majority of applications we’re switching to have web-based interfaces. The growing popularity of smartphones and portable devices has fueled this tech revolution. Most applications that have web-based interfaces are hosted on the cloud these days.

In modern development practices like Agile and DevOps, testers work in compressed test execution cycles, and automate regression tests to reduce time, efforts and costs involved in testing. But even so, testing doesn’t advance at the same speed as development. The most common form of test automation is N-1 Sprint automation in which QA teams test one sprint behind development.
