The Automation Evolution
An analysis of the evolution of automation in software quality management


Author: Brian Bryson, Solution Marketing Manager, IBM Rational Quality Management


 Abstract

As software has transformed from stand-alone applications to a ubiquitous and essential element of the products and systems that power our everyday lives, there’s a greater need to ensure application quality. This need supports why quality management automation has continued to grow in functionality and adoption since its introduction in the early 1990s. Quality management automation is one method teams can use to improve software and product quality, reduce costs, and accelerate time to market. This paper examines the benefits of quality management automation, the progression of its adoption and future opportunities for expanding it. This paper is part of the 2009 Rational Quality Management Thought Leadership Series.    http://www.ibm.com/software/rational/announce/wpseries/
