\u201c<\/span><\/i><\/b>Digital transformation is not just about technology; it is about reimagining your company. It is the necessary but challenging journey of operating digital-first with the speed and nimbleness to change or introduce new products and experiences rapidly, exploit technology to create lean operations, and free people to do more complex tasks that create value.<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

– Forrester<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Digital transformation goes way beyond simply investing in digital technologies. It is about achieving an optimal balance between strategy and technology. Achieving this equilibrium between digital technologies and digital strategy is one of the biggest barriers to digital transformation that enterprises face, leading to failure.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are four main areas of digital transformation \u2013 business process, business model, domain, and cu<\/span>ltural\/organizational. Although most organizations focus on transforming business processes into digital-driven, they seldom pay attention to other three areas.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Having a digital transformation enabler in the form of next-gen testing IP can allow organizations to take a holistic view at their enterprise digital transformation efforts and achieve tremendous success in their digital initiatives.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this blog, we will discuss the main challenges of the enterprises attempting to realize digital transformation. At the same time, we will talk about how\u00a0<\/span>different components of\u00a0<\/span>BlueSwan<\/span>TM<\/sup><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Cigniti\u2019s\u00a0next-generation proprietary software testing platform \u2013 can help overcome those challenges and achieve maximum ROI.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Challenge 1: Inefficient test automation<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Quality assurance undoubtedly has become an integral part of a digital business transformation process. To reduce the time to market, enterprises look to adopt\u00a0<\/span>test automation<\/span><\/a>\u00a0for their QA processes. However, they often fall prey to the vicious cycle of automating everything with too many test cases. Ultimately, the test automation fails to serve its purpose, causing the organization to go back to manual testing processes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Solution:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Velocita \u2013 Test Automation Accelerator\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

Velocita is a\u00a0<\/span>Test Automation Accelerator for desktop, web, mobile, COTS, ERP<\/span>, and Digital Applications. It\u00a0<\/span>ensures\u00a0<\/span>that\u00a0<\/span>Test automation\u00a0<\/span>offers assured<\/span>\u00a0return on investment\u00a0<\/span>while<\/span>\u00a0reduc<\/span>ing<\/span>\u00a0the time to market of business applications with increased quality.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It comprises digital accelerators for\u00a0<\/span>200+ latest browsers, versions<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0and platforms<\/span>\u00a0to guarantee that<\/span>\u00a0your mobile and web applications offer a consistent and pleasant experience across all the combinations to the users.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Velocita has thousands of pre-built test scripts and reusable test assets for every industry domain, and contributes to the development of a robust, customized, tool-agnostic test automation framework.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Challenge 2: Lack of quality management processes<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Despite having the understanding of the importance of QA in digital-driven enterprises, most organizations lack a formal QA process. As a result, the QA processes are not streamlined, there is no ownership of quality, and the end product released does not meet the quality standards.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Solution:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Verita \u2013 Quality Engineering platform and dashboard\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

Verita is a Quality Management dashboard platform that offers end-to-end visibility into the quality of an application.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Verita is\u00a0<\/span>a\u00a0<\/span>role-based system, catering to the reporting needs of diverse stakeholders inside the enterprise by integrating with the enterprise application life-cycle management tools<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>Verita comes with the ability to ana<\/span>lyze data and provide insights from a descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive standpoint.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The platform collects data based on various metrics for service delivery management \u2013 release readiness, cost, application status, test coverage, among others \u2013 and for cost & quality management \u2013 agility, compliance, SLAs, cost, velocity, quality, value, and risk.<\/span>\u00a0It facilitates a shift-left approach and supports improvement of quality.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It leverages the gathered data to spot trends, identify opportunities, and support informed decision-making. It offers insights related to \u2018what happened\u2019, \u2018why did it happen\u2019, \u2018what will happen\u2019 and \u2018what\u00a0<\/span>should be done\u2019. These insights are then processes for human inputs and based on the feedback and action, the platform establishes a formal QA process that is well-suited for an enterprise\u2019s needs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Challenge 3: Lack of right skills\u00a0<\/span><\/b>and involvement of\u00a0<\/span><\/b>high costs<\/span><\/b>\u00a0for<\/span><\/b>\u00a0migrating to modern infrastructure<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

In an attempt to accelerate digital transformation, several organizations are looking to modernize their legacy infrastructure. However, data migration poses as a major hurdle in the process. As organizations migrate hundreds of legacy and existing test scripts, there is often a threat of losing critical data during migration. This is why, it is important that test asset migration is performed by experts who have the apt skills. Otherwise, the migration becomes a lengthy and expensive affair.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Solution:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Cesta \u2013 Integrated Test Asset Migration Platform\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

Cesta is w<\/span>orld\u2019s first integrated test asset Migration platform\u00a0<\/span>that consists of all the necessary tools to migrate test assets from legacy infrastructure.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It follows a standard step-by-step process of Discovery, Planning, Migration, and Validation to yield modernized test automation assets to the organizations without any loss of data.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Challenge 4: Complex testing landscape<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Although DevOps and Agile have started to become mainstream, organizations are still following different software development methodologies including waterfall, Agile, and hybrid models. The presence of multiple tools, high costs of QA, tight release deadlines, and absence of formal QA processes can make testing a complex landscape.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Solution:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Praxia \u2013 Process Accelerator Platform\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

Praxia is a\u00a0<\/span>Process accelerator platform\u00a0<\/span>that<\/span>\u00a0transform<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0testing practices by assessing processes, prac<\/span>tices, tools, skills, and risks of an enterprise\u2019s testing landscape. By implementing 5 of Cigniti\u2019s IP frameworks, Praxia helps accelerate the digital transformation journey of an enterprise.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Challenge 5: Inability to meet the growing customer expectations<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

The ever-evolving customer expectations, rapidly transforming market dynamics, and fast-changing user demands make it difficult for organizations to effectively compete and position themselves as capable to serve them in the best way. Inability to satisfy the customer expectations cause a highly negative impact on the brand image and ultimately on the revenue.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Solution:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>CESA- Cigniti Enterprise Sentiment Analyzer\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

CESA performs the vital activity of monitoring the differences in the perception of an app or a product from the standpoint of customers as well as competitors. By finding the overall sentiment and categorizing it into positive, neutral, or negative, CESA offers business and operational intelligence to an organization and supports better decision making through sentiment categorization and segregation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the help of CESA and its peer comparison & business impact dashboards, an organization can maximize their customers\u2019 satisfaction by optimizing the products or services, gain a significant competitive advantage, revitalize their brand, and drive effective business decisions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Challenge 6: Difficulty in implementing modern software development & testing methodologies<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Enterprises are finding it difficult to adopt agile methodologies and implement end-to-end testing across all enterprise systems.<\/span>\u00a0Consequently, they are unable to reap the benefits of accelerated time-to-market and higher ROI from Agile implementation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Solution:\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Prudentia \u2013 Model-based Testing Tool\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

Prudentia is Cigniti\u2019s model-based testing tool that automatically generates software testing procedures using models of systems requirements and behavior.\u00a0<\/span>It<\/span>\u00a0leverages Cigniti\u2019s globally<\/span>–<\/span>patented algorithm to generate intelligent test scenarios.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
