Who: Dennis Powell, Senior Product Manager, StackSafe, Inc

The Webinar will discuss the different levels of testing adoption and usage among organizational IT departments based findings from a recent study of over 400 IT Operations professionals. This seminar will highlight:
- The different classifications of IT testing users: "Testing Neophytes,"The Unfortunate Middle," and "Test Leaders"
- The impact inadequate testing has on IT operations and the business as a whole
- How testing against a portion of the stack compares against testing against the entire infrastructure
- The importance of "matching" your testing environment to the live software stack
This free Webinar will provide attendees with proven research on the benefits of IT testing for change management, backed up with third-party research from Research Edge. It will also offer attendees ideas and tips on how to institute a more rigorous and sustainable change management program through IT testing in their own organizations.
