How Automated Defect Prevention Can Help You

ADP is a practical approach to software management through process improvement. This strategy is enabled by an infrastructure that automates repetitive tasks, tracks project status, and provides instant access to the information needed for informed decision making and process improvement. Applying ADP, you can evolve a sustainable quality process that delivers predictable outcomes.

ADP stands out from the current software landscape as a result of two unique features:

• Its approach to quality as a continuous process.
• Its far-reaching emphasis on automation.

It can be applied to any team, regardless of its structure, projects, or development method.


You can learn how to:

• Control and improve your existing development process.
• Increase agility while facing complexity and change.
• Ensure quality throughout the SDLC— from requirements definition, to design, to construction, to integration, to deployment.
• Collect objective data about the application and the processes used to build it, then leverage it for quality and process improvement.
• Instantly assess project quality and readiness.
• Determine if a release is on target, and how to get it back on track.
• Automate routine and repetitive tasks so the team can focus on more critical and challenging ones.
