Deliver amazing applications with speed, quality and scale. Industry analysts, software innovators, and technical evangelists all warned us it was coming. Some of us believed them, others doubted, but there's no denying that it’s here. The era of agile development, accelerated app delivery through DevOps, and the Internet of Things is upon us. As exciting as these advancements are, they pose real challenges for software development, testing, and operations teams. How do we accelerate applications to market without sacrificing quality? Modern QA engineers and developers must embrace...

• What are the pitfalls?
• What are the implementation mistakes to avoid?
• What role should the test manager and the others in the product development team play? AND more than anything else,
• What it takes to make QA Automation successful.

Anyone involved in a QA project understands the competing pressures of delivering high quality applications and the business realities of schedule pressures and resource constraints. This creates a balancing act and a set of decisions around project realities, business goals, and application risk. Traditional test automation tools still have a lot of “manual” in the process, limiting just how much QA can be accomplished in any given release. In this session, we’ll share how new modern day test automation software is being used to expand test coverage and validate a broader range of...

• Explore the three most common reasons why serious customer experience problems routinely go undetected
• See real examples of how collection, analysis, and alerting on the right metrics can uncover and solve hidden sources of failure
• Learn how leading brands are applying performance analytics to find and fix issues fast – before they impact end users.

Now that there is a wider acceptance and adoption of the DevOps model of delivering software, test automation expectations have changed. We now have to implement delivery processes that improve upon agile tenets like speed and predictability while also providing visibility in system health as development happens in real time. The distributed nature of today's development teams working across multiple time zones also plays a role in this change. Wherever possible, it's imperative to automate from a workflow and communications standpoint as well as from an application standpoint. This...

• Continuous Testing is a must
• Do the right things & do things right
• Manual Testers will become automation experts

Just like agile development, agile testing is a key component of your continuous delivery plan. But what aspect of test in your software development lifecycle do you address first to make a difference? How do you improve application quality while increasing the speed of delivery? This lively session with Huw Price will answer these questions. You’ll learn about how you can generate test cases more quickly from existing requirements. You’ll come away with a better understanding of test automation, environment simulation, and...
