Like it or not, digital transformation is happening. It is being talked about a lot too. In this blog, let us look at six key technology areas which are important for digital transformation.
In the Software Testing and Quality circles, there’s a lot of emphasis on software development methodologies, how to go about increasing the agility, adaptability to constant change, etc. They are all very important topics as they directly affect how quickly and efficiently organisations can deliver software solutions to their customers. At the same time, we should not lose sight of the digital technologies which are required for business outcomes and ROI. The key areas as identified by the experts (and believe me, these things are being talked about for at least ten years, but still they are important and getting done) are:
- Machine Learning
- Character recognition and handwriting analysis
- System-driven learning – prediction and pattern recognition
- Analytics – data, information, knowledge, visualization
- Building enterprise applications through no-code (not low-code)
- Robotic process automation, keeping ROI is focus
From a testing and quality perspective, I would encourage everyone in the field to focus learning these technologies and how to test them. We all need to commit ourselves to learn a thing every day so that we enable ourselves to be ready for the career opportunities that open up in these times of tough economic conditions. Please note that these technology details are as important as the testing techniques and test automation tools. These technologies open the door for multiple industries like telecommunications, banking and financial sector, logistics and supply chain, government and public sector, etc.
I am always open to discuss about the above topics and how organisations can benefit from these technologies. Feel free to get in touch with me and let’s talk! Glad to help!
