Test Automation ROI Calculator
Publisher's description
This white paper is all about understanding the parameters required and how to calculate the ROI from test automation. ROI is notoriously hard to quantify and an accurate set of numbers can provide great value. ROI is usually computed as the benefits derived, divided by the investments made for a given thing. If its starting a fresh project, it might compute the value of testing and divide by the cost of the testing to compute the return. But, most of the times, automation is being introduced as a transition from manual testing. In this case the cost benefits from automation can be viewed as trade-offs in comparison to manual testing.

Integrated Quality Approach - Building Quality Into The Product
Dynamic business environments need mature testing processes & practices that can guarantee success rather than just cut costs. While testing has traditionally been regarded as a curative solution, the reality is that it is a preventive medicine that can enhance product capabilities and help meet business objectives. Today, nearly 40% of a typical software project budget is allocated to testing. While the benefits of independent testing are now well recognized, organizations still face challenges in executing software testing to deliver good quality product. This paper aims to provide an insight to Aspire's Integrated Quality Approach (IQA) - An innovative approach that helps to detect bugs in early stage, remove risks in product release and reduce reworking costs.
