Introducing Digital.ai’s Value Stream Management Platform

With the announcement made and the initial excitement behind us, we are finally able to talk about Experitest joining Digital.ai. We join them at a remarkable time in human history. The effects of Covid-19 and its impact on global businesses omnipresent. Scenes of civil unrest worldwide are changing the way we communicate. The times are certainly unprecedented.

The challenges that we and many of our customers faced during the shutdown and subsequent periods of quarantine were remote capabilities and security. Many QA and software testers began to work from their homes. Without our SeeTest platform, many of them would not have been able to test their applications. We continue to carry a strong sense of pride forward. We were able to provide these teams with the tools they needed to test applications remotely. Additionally, they were able to do this while still adhering to important security guidelines.

We received many wonderful compliments for our service and platform. This one, for example, came from a senior IT manager at an international airline. “I like to express my sincere gratitude for your support and helping us out with public cloud access, thanks for being a great partner and understanding our situation during this tough time.“

Overview of Value Stream Management

Considered a lean business practice VSM helps to establish the value of software development, delivery and resources. By managing the SDLC from end-to-end VSM improves the value flow to an organization. It is no longer enough to focus your development on features and functionality. A good VSM plan will put more focus energy on the elements of an app or software that work. It starts and ends with customer experiences from receiving a request to delivering the final product.

Companies are learning to view their software development as an essential link to their business goals. By strengthening this bond organizational leaders will see how their software teams’ work is supporting their business. It is all about having visibility into how the development process is working.
