What Effective Test Automation is...And Why it's NOT Testing!

Wednesday, November 8, 2023 - 10:30am to 11:30am

In the frantic race to automate everything, one critical fact often gets overlooked…that test automation is NOT testing. Many organizations equate a comprehensive automated test suite with an effective software testing function. However, their definition of test automation is often limited to the automated execution of scripted test steps. Even in the best case scenario, this approach can give a false sense of security, especially when executing automated checks is the only “testing” that’s performed in the delivery pipeline. In this session, Lee will discuss why he sees the craft of...

Performance Testing and Engineering in Pipeline

Wednesday, November 8, 2023 - 11:45am to 12:45pm

As more and more organizations embark on modernizing their enterprise, and join the agile and DevOps bandwagon, it becomes but natural for the IT and Business teams to relook at their age-old legacy IT processes and align them with the modern delivery techniques. One of the first things that generally gets discussed in such a case from a testing standpoint is to implement a culture of shift left and testing in parallel with development. Harshad and Depen will take us through the essence of what that means from a performance testing and engineering standpoint and deep dive on the approach...

Evolve Your Selenium Scripts Into Performance Scripts

Wednesday, November 8, 2023 - 3:00pm to 4:00pm

You have implemented your site functional tests with Selenium. Now, how can you reuse some of these tests to verify that your site does not only work as expected with one user, but with a big load of them? In this talk, Roger Abelenda will show you a way to achieve this without leaving your IDE. Roger will do a live demo generating a load script using JMeter DSL, from an existing Selenium script. Then, he will run it in combination with the Selenium script to generate load and evaluate user experience while such load is being imposed. Join Roger, add JMeter DSL to your toolbox and let's...

Integrating FinOps with DevOps for Effective Cloud Cost Optimization and Governance

Thursday, November 9, 2023 - 10:15am to 11:15am

As enterprises operate in hybrid and multi-cloud environments, their operations teams have to continuously monitor multiple dashboards to keep track of cost, resource consumption, availability, security, etc., across different cloud service providers. There is an acute need for real-time and easy visibility into cloud costs so that everyone including development and testing teams can quickly identify idle resources, prevent virtual sprawl, and implement lifecycle policies. Enterprises also need automation of policy actions (e.g., auto termination of idle resources), anomaly detection,...

Testing Your Way Out of Microservices Hell

Thursday, November 9, 2023 - 11:45am to 12:45pm

A microservices architecture offers the fantastic promise of loosely coupled systems, independently testable and deployable. However, it can also present some significant challenges while conducting integration & exploratory testing. Since a single service will often not do anything valuable without several collaborator services, one typically needs to understand the way many services work together to effectively integration-test the system. This challenge can be viewed optimistically as well. By design, a microservice must at least provide some API interface, often making it easy to...
