Why do you keep on writing requirements and tests, when you can automatically build models, way faster instead? No one wants to write requirements and create (and maintain) regression test cases by hand – especially for legacy apps … forever! It takes too long, too much effort and a whole lot of grief – yet, you still end up with unclear and incomplete requirements, causing 64% of costly defects and rework. There’s a better way.

Join this webcast to learn how to automatically build your requirements models, helping you overcome the key barrier to model-based testing adoption. More specifically, learn ways and practices that can:
•Help you put the brakes on manually creating and maintaining tests. Finally!
•Allow you to run your ‘everyday’ regression tests, and build models representing your regression test cycle. Automatically!
•Enable you to just maintain and enhance models that deliver better coverage with less tests. Simply!

Outsourcing is becoming ubiquitous. The growth of outsourcing is driven by powerful economic forces. The impact of outsourcing on a company or a team can be huge, and either beneficial or harmful. Technical writing outsourcing is not yet as widespread as the outsourcing of other functions, but it exists and is growing. For example, senior technical writers with decades of experience can now be found in many countries around the world, and on every continent.

If you are a manager responsible for technical communication or for outsourcing decisions, join Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, for this informative, free, one-hour webinar featuring technical communication management strategist, Barry Saiff. Barry will introduce you to the potential pitfalls and the key success factors for technical writing outsourcing efforts, and enable you to begin to determine the best way forward for your organization. If you are a technical communicator or a leader or manager of technical writers, this webinar will help you to understand why and how outsourcing is changing the profession, and how you can play an effective role in influencing the outsourcing decisions that will impact your organization, and your career.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is comprehensive, critical to data security, and coming VERY soon. So, are you ready?
Results from WatchGuard’s recent worldwide survey on GDPR readiness indicate that many businesses are waiting…but for what? Organizations with employees or customers in the EU must be GDPR compliant by May 25, 2018 or potentially face fines in the millions. With a laundry list of requirements and a diminishing window of time, prioritizing these compliance efforts have never been more important.
The GDPR writing is on the wall for a panicky, last-minute rush to comply. Join WatchGuard Director of Product Marketing, Tracy Hillstrom, on September 14 for a crash course on the GDPR essentials and how to get started now towards compliance. Additionally, learn more about WatchGuard’s survey results so that you can assess whether you are ahead, on-track, or behind the curve.

Agile development offers advantages. Short cycles, cross-disciplinary teams, frequent short meetings, and input from users can lead to satisfied customers and faster product delivery. Technical writing outsourcing is often late to the game–with other teams already globally distributed. Even when technical writers are co-located with developers, process issues can pose obstacles. For example, without a mechanism for notifying writers of user interface changes, accuracy suffers.

Can technical writing outsourcing work in an Agile environment, even if writers are off-shore and developers are not? Join Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, Barry Saiff, CEO of Saiff Solutions, and Fred Williams, CEO of Williams Technical, for this free one-hour webinar. Our presenters will discuss how innovative organizations are successfully merging technical writing outsourcing with Agile development.

You’ll learn the key steps to success in technical writing outsourcing, how outsourced writers integrate into Agile teams, and how to manage these approaches to improve quality, save time, and reduce costs.
