The Digital phenomenon that is sweeping through business and the IT sector is the biggest thing since the Internet took the world by storm. Unlike the Internet revolution and DotCom madness, Digital is largely business-driven. In that respect, there has been no slow-start - from nowhere to every organisation in about three years.The scope of Digital spans all the new technologies including mobile, the Internet of Things, Drones, 3D printing and sensors and actuators of all descriptions - it's everything. This combination of huge scope, business pressure and changing development approaches will pose a huge problem for most testing teams and testers. This book is an attempt to summarise the challenge and make some general recommendations for coping, thriving or surviving a once-in-a-career transformation.This book is aimed at testers requiring an overview of the challenge and Digital leaders and managers wanting to know how to shape the testing and assurance of their projects.
