Improving Test Environments and Test Data
Christopher Duro, Cognizant

• How, by using ‘shift left’, a proactive QA team can drive improvement of test environments and test data beds that are vital for simulating real-world conditions under which complex N-tiered architectures need to operate
• Specific techniques that are used to inventory the contents of technically complex environments, to jumpstart tester understanding of complex business processes, and to prioritize which data flows to test end-to-end
• Case study along with a starter kit containing templates for each technique

Accelerating the Software Development Lifecycle Using Service Virtualization
Peter Cole, IBM Rational

• Remove software and service dependencies enabling continuous integration and testing across the development lifecycle.
• Stand up test environments faster and at a lower cost accelerating development and test cycles.
• Balance quality and speed - deliver high quality software to the market faster.

Dependencies Gone Wild: Testing Composite Applications
Wayne Ariola, Parasoft

• End-to-end tests need to pass through multiple dependent systems, which are commonly unavailable, evolving, or difficult-to-access for testing.
• Accessing such systems often involves transaction and bandwidth fees.
• Teams need to test and tune the system under test against a realistic and broad range of performance and behavior conditions.

Quality Process Assessment – Proven Methodology to Lower Costs and Improve Quality
Alan Trefzger, Xbosoft

• Measuring Quality – If 95% of the defects are found before production, then your costs will be 50% less, than poor quality products
• Two proven methodologies for improving Quality – QPA and TPI, with QPA being highlighted
• Case study: A QPA was performed on a leading SW product for the Health Care industry. See what was done and how the company improved through the Assessment
