Recently commissioned Forrester TEI research reveals that when writing mainframe software, many developers devote up to 30 percent of their time to manual testing. Testing even a simple code change can take up to half a day while testing a more complex change can take two to four days. The interviewed businesses budgeted three days out of every 10-day sprint for manual testing. In addition to the high cost, this manual process is rife with risk as developers can easily neglect running a test case or even misinterpret the results.
Join BMC and guest speaker Jeffrey Yozwiak, TEI Consultant from Forrester Consulting, as they share a framework to evaluate the efficiencies, risk reduction, and financial gains of using shift-left automated testing for mainframe applications. This webinar will describe how BMC Compuware customers modernized their mainframe software development lifecycles and realized the following benefits from testing automation:
• Overall time savings and increased developer output saved $4.5 million
• Bug reduction of 20% saved $376,000
• Automation efficiencies saved $2.9 million
• Reduced risk of major mainframe defects saved $2.6 million
