Ready, Test, Go. brought to you by Applause features advice, insights and tips from the industry experts, software engineers, UX consultants and testers who have mastered the challenge of creating high-quality digital experiences.

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. She also examines characteristics that make testers more effective in their roles.

In episode 2, UX Metrics That Actually Make Sense, Carty dives into a discussion on building UX awareness, measuring UX effectiveness and developing better organizational buy-in, with UX and conversational artificial intelligence consultant and founder of outriderUX, Inge De Bleecker.

For episode 3, Why So Ceremonious? Carty hosts Jeff Payne, CEO and founder of Agile and DevOps consulting firm, Coveros. Payne details the tenets of Agile product development and testing, and walks listeners through the steps development teams should take to create Agile workflows for maximized efficiency and improved quality.
