Accelerating Time to Market through Innovative QA and Release Management: A Case Study from Space International

In today’s fast-paced digital environment, reducing the time to market is critical for maintaining competitive advantage. In this talk, Nino will share how Space International successfully reduced its release cycle from 6 months to 1 week while drastically shortening regression testing from 4 weeks to a 1-day smoke test. By implementing innovative QA strategies and refined release management approaches, we ensured high-quality software delivery with significantly faster timelines. This talk will provide attendees with actionable insights and methodologies to replicate similar results within their organizations.
