Product Based Testing by Pushparajan Balasubramanian

In this session, Pushparajan will cover what is product based testing (PBT), how it differs from application testing, how product based testing best practices can be used to eliminate the barriers in achieving the quality and time to market of new product development. PBT is designed specifically to test the end-to-end processes and product data relevant to product development, launch and in-life management activities. Product based testing framework can be automated as a packaged solution that tests the entire product management process.
