Public and private businesses now operate within a market context requiring the set up of a Testing approach within these organizations, so as to meet 4 major challenges:

• Control strategy uncertainties by optimizing the Time-To-Market
• Ensure customer quality by guaranteeing "Quality to Customer"
• Control technological risks by making the production startup process secure
• Optimize productivity by rationalizing costs

At the current time, the increasing necessity to industrialize testing practices pushes Information Technology Departments to work along the following 5 axes:·

• Coalesce test practices around a reference set
• Separate the role of the ‘business activity’ specialist from that of the ‘tester’, via an optimized structuring of test requirements
• Control tests by means of a value-analysis approach, based on the deployment of Risk Based Testing
• Set up an efficient, high-return automation approach
• Consolidate the controlling of test activities at a global level

A professional policy combined with the pragmatic approach is the best way to meet and overcome all test-related challenges.
