In this Keysight Test Talk, we explore the critical role of owning quality in a fully outsourced retail environment. While outsourcing quality assurance (QA) and testing can reduce costs, handing over strategy and planning to external partners may introduce long-term risks.

Jordan McLean of Xandr Consulting discusses why many retailers outsource QA, the common approaches taken, and the consequences of relinquishing control over testing strategy and tools. Learn how to mitigate these risks by defining success criteria, holding partners accountable, and ensuring internal ownership of critical quality roles. Discover how to build a robust QA framework that aligns with your business goals, even in a fully outsourced setting.

Owning Retail Quality in an Outsourced Environment

Year-on-year the automotive industry makes significant strives in autonomous driving, increasing the experience value in In-vehicle infotainment systems, and adding technological aids and visual cues in every vehicle. In this webinar, we will share a modern approach to functionality, performance and safety testing that can meet the increasing challenges of guaranteeing a safe, satisfying and rewarding user experience of the vehicle operator. The approach includes conducting visual verification, non-intrusive black box tests, and continuous AI-powered automated testing of in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems as well as testing the full connected car experience.

Navigating Complexity: Intelligent Test Automation for Automotive HMI

Thanks to social media and online advertising, consumers are constantly bombarded with buying opportunities from multiple companies offering similar services. On the surface, there may be very little to distinguish between retailers but once the consumer embarks on their buying journey the differences start to appear.  

To ensure shoppers complete their purchase and become repeat customers, retailers need to make the process a top priority. Some retailers are doing everything they can to personalise the experience and make it require as few steps as possible. 

Yet this requires continuous testing and while some retailers have automated the process others are still testing their systems manually or have still to turn the results into action  

In this Retail Systems webinar, we were joined by the following expert speakers to examine some of the steps retailers can take to ensure that their customers have the smoothest buying journey at a time when many are cutting back due to the cost-of-living crisis.

Digital Transformation in Retail

At a time of increasing budgetary constraints and increasing competition from upstart challengers, incumbent financial services institutions (FSI's) need systems that can keep up with consumer demands at all hours of the day.  

There is no magic wand that can be waved to ensure that systems keep up with new regulations, changing consumer behaviour or new payment methods. Over reliance on legacy systems – whether that is due to lack of executive buy-in or simply the absence of funds – can lead many organisations to bolt on quick fixes which lead to increased risk of failure.  

However, if they are properly maintained, tested regularly and expertise about them is transferred effectively, legacy systems can prove effective in running a wide range of operations in financial services without needing to fully overhaul the tech stack.  

In this webinar we will examine some of the steps FSIs have already taken to rigorously monitor and test systems – both manually and with AI-powered automation – while satisfying the concerns of regulators and customers.

The demand for better mobile user experience has become priority to the consumer’s use cases as well as to multiple digital services that utilize the faster speeds and low latency that 5G has to offer. Customers that are using 5G won’t tolerate buffering, poor resolution, or freezes. It is a necessity that Device makers and service providers ensure that 5G devices offer the user experience customers expect, no matter what environment and mobility they are in. 

With a growing number existing and new applications that offer unique and emerging digital transformation, service providers and the mobile industry can continue to drive consumers towards 5G, which can lead to increases in revenue with using premium data plans and premium 5G smartphones and of course offering an unparalleled user experience. 

5G provides advantages for the consumer goes beyond just dealing with the ever-growing data traffic demand, but also enabling an unprecedent number of digital and real-time applications and services. 

Within these multiple digital services comes challenges which has added layers of complexity for testing. Users do not tend to use one application in isolation on a mobile device or in a static or linear mode, but within the distance from the nearest 5G tower, the presence of physical barriers, and the number of other devices using the network as well as mobility conditions as well as using multiple accessories, such as Bluetooth headphones.  

During this webinar, we deep dive in how the industry is resolving these complex equations starting from R&D, lab testing and to live services and including dynamic user’s behaviours modelling.
