Addressing digital testing challenges
This partnership helps address the concerns highlighted by the
recently released Digital Testing in Europe report by Pierre Audoin
Consultants, which reported that 75% of European businesses agree
that the expansion of their digital presence will be their number
one IT priority over the next two years. However only 18% have
implemented a digital testing strategy in 2015 and 35% of
businesses in Europe are looking
to implement a digital testing programme in the next 12 months.
