Easily Create Scalable Automation using Selenium

Editor's Notes

• #3: We are a successful, profitable company that has been in business for a long time, and we have deep experience in helping customers design, implement and support software solutions that are specific to their business needs. Our primary aim is to enable our customers to continuously deliver their products and services in a competitive, predictable and efficient manner. To accomplish this, we invest in highly targeted product innovation and acquisition, supported by people and services to deliver customer success. Our key differentiator is that we enable innovation to happen, while minimizing the associated risk and cost.
• #4: We develop, sell and support software products. We’re a global company, operating an integrated global business model which is adapted to the needs of our customers around the world. We are one of the top 15 global infrastructure software companies and our stock trades on the London stock exchange. Our revenues come from software sales, support maintenance, and professional services.
• #5: Throughout all this change and complexity there has remained three core capabilities that every organisation needs in order to be successful. They need to build the right applications that manage business processes and enable access to business information. They need to operate their systems efficiently and flexibly, with the best balance of cost, risk and speed. And they need to secure and govern access to critical business data and intellectual property. These capabilities are not isolated, and intersect in different ways, and so the portfolio is also driven by the integration of technologies to deal with the real-world challenges that customers face. Micro Focus has assembled a rich portfolio of software products that are tightly focused on enabling these capabilities.
• #6: So lets focus on these capabilities in more detail….first of all, for build
• #7: Our product portfolio comprehensively supports the key capabilities we identified earlier and this picture loosely shows where each product plays into that, and as you can see some of the products span across them. You can clearly see that we have depth and strength to support each. In addition to developing and enhancing each individual product category our focus will remain to be the integration points between them.
• #8: From 1960 onward – it’s pretty self explanatory. Starting at 2000 – that’s where we’ll want to start the evolution talk. We didn’t really have an impact from the user community until this time. Up until this point, the ux/ui wasn’t really an issue and things were relatively controlled. The apps really started this trend – once users got used to the simplicity and the single focus of apps, that started to influence how applications are architected. You’ll continue this point onto the next slide but keep it going… Now we’re in a world of always connected everything. Apple Watches, fitness devices, Amazon SPOT buttons where we can order laundry detergent at the push of a button, etc….the more we use these devices on a daily basis, the more the use cases get refined and rapid deliveries to answer these issues becomes paramount. Next battleground – 2020 and beyond, who knows what that will be, but we believe the next fight is over the car. Connected 4g Cars are a reality now. Google isn’t building a self driving car because that’s their first goal… Google is building a self driving car because they want a CarOS. They already have Android Auto. Imagine a world where all car models have a base price, and if you want cruise control, that can be activated online for $9 a month. You want navigation? $29/month. Location based services and metrics will be opt in and for that you’ll most likely get some free stuff – but this is where the next software battleground will be. Which then leads to user expectations and how that will influence the challenge of engineering….
• #9: Organizations are finding it harder to keep up There will be a larger delivery gap (less execution speed) the longer organizations wait
• #10: Time To Market: Technology and more specifically software are today’s organizations bless and curse. If from one side software can be leveraged as a faster way to deliver the next wave of competitive differentiator, it also lower the barriers of entry for existent and new competitors to provide faster, cheaper and better alternatives to your products and services offerings. Proliferation of Devices: Customer have never had so many choices of browsers, platforms and devices in their life, and with choices comes preferences. Whatever is the customer preferred method of accessing an application, on their computer, phone or tablet, they expect applications to behave and perform exactly in the same way. User Experience: Users and customers interact with software and applications more frequently than ever before. Their overall experience is determined by a number of factors including the way services are delivered, the performance of the desired outcome and the ease of use. Every user brings with them a set of pre-existing expectations and their tolerance for a poor experience has diminished significantly over the past few years.
