WHITE PAPER

Software Testing

Delivering Change Outcomes Through Software Testing

Change sponsors no longer accept unstructured and non-managed testing. A wide range of industry sectors have appeared in the national headlines where software challenges have been experienced.

Given this and the increasing number of organisations accelerating their digital journeys to differentiate their brands and customer offerings, we hosted our second ‘change-focused’ virtual roundtable where we brought together audit, risk and assurance professionals from across industry sectors to gain their perspectives on the important topic of software testing.

This white paper introduces the topic of software testing and why it's important to your organisation. It highlights areas for consideration to ensure that assurance is useful in reducing the risk and that software testing ultimately delivers quality outcomes. This white paper also explores the key findings from the recent DCR Partners-led roundtable - statistics and analysis gained from this discussion have been included for your consideration and context for your own organisation.
