Products now ship and update faster than many beta programs can keep up with. This report, based on 124 responses to the fifth annual delta testing survey in December 2020, looks at how that pressure lands on the people running user tests.
It covers how agile release cycles strain test managers, why teams with defined processes rate their programs higher, and how a growing pile of tools, which the report links to the pandemic, is making betas harder to manage.
What’s inside
Testing at the speed of agile
How often companies release and update products, why beta results can arrive after launch, and what test managers say they wish for in their programs.
Defined processes and test success
How programs with defined processes rate their effectiveness against those with reactive ones, and which challenges each group faces most.
The toll of too many tools
How the share of teams using three or more tools grew in 2020, and how that makes organizing data, finding time, and proving ROI harder.
