In this application-driven world that we live in, every company can be considered as a software company, whether it knows it yet or not. Every other company in the software industry is releasing new applications on a regular basis. This made the software delivery life cycles were complex. Due to this reason, large organisations need hundreds and sometimes thousands of test environments to scrutinise the number of applications being supported. It has become quite taxing to manage everything together. According to a recent survey conducted by Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), titled the EMA 2018 Test Environment Management Survey, despite all the benefits that the test environment management toolcan provide to businesses across the industries, only 4% of large enterprises have fully integrated TEM processes in the DNA of their application development.
Everyone knows that TEM tools enhance the speed and also result in the efficiency enhancement, so the question is: Why are there not many businesses who are integrating it effectively or even using it at all? Let’s, first of all, understand the objectives of a TEM tool. • According to the research, it was observed that in the teams surveyed, quite a few were working with more 600 environments, while 21% of the respondents were not aware of the total number of test environments they were working on. • From a management perspective, this scenario is even worse than having too many test environments to manage. If you are unaware of how many are there, to begin with, there is bound to be a big problem. • With the help of a TEM tool, it is possible to deal with these challenges. You get the smooth testing procedure that can go a long way in enhancing the application quality being developed.
With the help of IT environment management tools, it is possible to get rid of the much lengthy scheduling and monitoring processes that would have otherwise required to be performed on a manual basis. It also helps companies to reuse and recycle test environments in a much better way. This assists in reducing the extra environments to be created.
As per the same survey, organisations today are looking for test environments than ever before. For this reason, they are renewing, improving and developing more applications than ever before. However, 23% of the respondents admitted that they had not used any commercial tool ever. In simple words, roughly one-fourth of those managing intricate testing schedules do that without operational hindsight. This can work for small number of test environments. However, when it comes to testing a large number, over time, it can be a bit challenging. Thanks to the TEM tool, IT decision-makers can easily overcome the dearth of overall inefficiency, management difficulty and visibility. Up until this stage, the entire concentration has been on automating the development cycle without unquestionably contemplating the best ways to find out the waste and defects. These are some of the reasons due to which TEM has been on a low priority list.
As time goes, the execution of testing environments will only increase. Hence, businesses need to put in optimum solutions now to assist them to cope up with the challenges for the near future. • Irrespective of the number of production releases, the return on TEM investment is bound to happen immediately. In case these savings are considered as cost avoidance, ROI can be achieved in a couple of times. • Although the exact figure of savings and ROI will differ based on the type of business, one thing is assured that once these tools are executed, the business will commence seeing the positive financial results almost immediately. It will even have a positive impact on the testing process. • Thanks to the ever-increasing number of testing environments, businesses need to invest in the best management tools to release their version swiftly and of higher quality. The reason being, customers’ expectations are also increasing.
