by Chirajeet Sengupta, Yugal Joshi

The concept of automation has been around for long, specifically in context of automating manual tasks in Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) such as code build and test execution. However, we are now witnessing an increasing demand for automating not just repetitive tasks, but decision making and optimization, as enterprises struggle to accelerate time-to-market and attain higher efficiency.

Service providers are making huge investments in next-generation automation solutions and strengthening their cognitive capabilities to stay ahead of the adoption curve. They are leveraging automation for optimizing headcount, improving productivity, enhancing product quality, and shrinking the testing cycle through defect prediction and prevention.
