Most stakeholders don’t need to understand the finer points of software testing. They’ve got their own jobs to get on with. A finance director doesn’t need to know how to prepare test data, any more than a tester needs to understand how the finance director prepares the annual accounts. For the most part, this works well. Stakeholders get useful results, visibility of progress and enough information to make decisions. They don’t need a running commentary on everything that happens in a test environment. However, people can expect different things from those results.

Cloud applications, SaaS platforms, browsers, APIs and security services now update on schedules set largely by their suppliers.

Customers may be able to select a maintenance window or postpone an update briefly, but they usually cannot remain on the same version indefinitely.

The software industry often calls this evergreen software: solutions kept current through frequent, supplier-led updates instead of occasional, customer-controlled upgrades.

Is your software project on track? Do you really know? Are there hidden issues lurking in the background that will catch you out? Too often, the answers are buried in silos across different tools. By the time someone pulls everything together, some of the information is already out of date.
