Test Asset Modernization Overview
Organizations want to realize the highest business value possible from their existing functional and test automation assets. As applications evolve over a period of time, test assets usually are patched up to cater to the immediate need. Design principles applied at the beginning of the test automation effort may not be all that relevant in the present tense. Additionally, as vendors support more and more sophisticated features in the automation platforms, there is a great potential to exploit the newer technologies to the best benefit.
Maintaining legacy platforms consume disproportionate percentage of IT budget and human resources and these assets fail to meet the changing competitive needs. Organizations are always under pressure to deliver more with less. Especially, test automation is considered vital for faster delivery of quality software products. TAM allows organizations to align their test assets with the business need and strategies.
