Why Scriptless Test Automation is Perfect for Agile and DevOps

Wednesday, November 7, 2018 - 1:30pm to 2:30pm

Agile and DevOps certainly don’t move at a leisurely summer pace.

Why not follow development’s lead and start taking a new, more lightweight approach to testing? Join James Senecal as he presents scriptless test automation strategies and best practices that make Continuous Testing a breeze.

Its Safer to Walk a Tightrope Without a Net - Enabling Truly Agile Cross Functional Teams by Refusing to Build a QA Department (A case study)
