BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Applause, a world leader in testing and digital quality, today announced the launch of the first three inaugural episodes of its new podcast titled, Ready, Test, Go. brought to you by Applause. Podcast host, David Carty, invites leading experts in the software industry, including technology executives, software engineers, user experience (UX) consultants and testers, to participate in lively discussions about their expertise, industry best practices and practical advice for creating high-quality digital experiences.

Each episode will focus on a specific industry or technology-related topic. Carty and his featured guests will examine challenges and opportunities faced by technology leaders, software engineers, product development teams, and quality assurance and testing professionals when developing digital experiences, and they will explore techniques and solutions for improving digital quality.

In episode 1, Testing in Two Days, Carty hosts software testing and quality assurance subject matter expert, Amy Reichert. Reichert, who has nearly two decades of testing experience, discusses how to make testing processes more efficient and comprehensive to help teams stay on target with tight release deadlines.
