A Strategic Approach to Digital Commerce Testing

Add to calendar
Wednesday, May 1, 2019 - 11:30am to 12:30pm

Software quality assurance for large-scaled projects is a challenge due to the technical complexities that arise. Such challenges include lack of familiarity with existing or new systems, simultaneous roll-outs of multinational sites and project management issues concerning diverse backgrounds and involved stakeholders. To get a closer look at some of these challenges, we detail our experience with delivering a large-scale multinational e-commerce project and discuss a strategic approach to mitigating these challenges and successfully rolling-out the project.

Camelot - How can you achieve usage based Feature/regression testing?

Add to calendar
Wednesday, May 1, 2019 - 11:30am to 12:30pm

Usage based testing allows control over when a software regression test is carried out, what regression techniques are used, how often it is carried out, at what cost and with guaranteed execution. Usage based testing is analogous to cloud based usage models for infrastructure in the cloud via services like AWS, Google cloud, Azure etc., except that it is aimed at the testing space rather than at infrastructure.

One of the key issues is deciding which testing technique should be used and when it should be used in regression/feature testing. Also, which technique is the alternative (...

APIs Are Coming: Defending Westeros from an Invading Army of Defects

Add to calendar
Wednesday, May 1, 2019 - 11:30am to 12:15pm

Winter is coming and so is season 8 of Game of Thrones. But what if John Snow was an application quality director, how would he defend quality? Well, bullet-proofing your application against defects is very similar to fighting an army of white walkers. Having the right test automation technology at your disposal is just as crucial as having dragon glass. Join our virtual session where Product Manager Chris Colosimo will explain key test enablement technologies John Snow would need to shift left defect detection and protect Westeros’s is most important application the “Iron Bank”.

AI in Software Testing: Will a Bot Steal Your Spot?

Add to calendar
Wednesday, May 1, 2019 - 1:45pm to 2:30pm

Although artificial intelligence is nothing new, applying AI techniques to software testing only really started to become feasible in the past year. But it’s undeniable that it will soon become part of our day-to-day quality engineering process. Before we get caught up in the excitement of the technology, let’s take a step back and assess how AI can help us achieve our quality objectives. It’s been suggested that AI could be applied to actions such as prioritizing testing and test automation efforts, generating and optimizing test cases, enhancing UX testing, reducing tedious analysis...

Continuous Testing with Continuous Change

Add to calendar
Wednesday, May 1, 2019 - 2:45pm to 3:45pm

Today’s development teams are finally becoming agile, building code more quickly and accurately to meet the constantly changing needs of their customers and employees. Faster development is now putting pressure on teams to test code quicker, often within a 2-week sprint, while still maintaining the quality of testing required to confidently validate our software is behaving as it should. This new emphasis on shift-left testing is causing companies to evaluate new tools to get the job done faster and automate as much as possible.

Future Proof your QA Strategy: Tomorrow's Open Test Architecture

Add to calendar
Wednesday, May 1, 2019 - 2:45pm to 3:45pm

Software testing is critical to your job. With 100s of solutions used by developers, testers, and product owners, there is no one size fits all. The tool stack you choose must adapt to your personnel and development processes -- not the other way around. In a world driven by APIs and an open architecture, it is imperative that tools talk to each other in the most straightforward way possible. Join Prashant as he walks through an open testing strategy that adapts to you, enabling you to focus on what really matters to future proof your business: top-notch software quality.

Accessibility Automation for the Agile Tester

Add to calendar
Thursday, May 2, 2019 - 9:45am to 10:45am
In a lot of ways, accessibility is talked about and practiced as if it is a hydra dragon. Every time you think you’ve made an improvement, you cut off one head of the accessibility dragon and two heads grow back. In particular, there are a lot of myths out there that you can’t do accessibility in an agile development environment. A lot of that stems from accessibility being thought of something you do manually, and also often only as user acceptance testing or usability testing. And while that’s an important part of accessibility, there is much more you can do to integrate accessibility...

Agile vs. DevOps For Continuous Testing: How to Optimize Your Pipeline

Add to calendar
Thursday, May 2, 2019 - 10:00am to 10:45am

Interest in continuous testing has been growing for five years now — yet the more we talk about it, the more polarized the discussion becomes. Complicating the conversation is the fact that Agile and DevOps both drive the need for continuous testing, but both require distinctly different things from a quality perspective.

Join me for a lively discussion on what’s really required for continuous testing in the context of Agile and DevOps. See live examples of how to maximize testing pipeline efficiencies and walk away with tactics you can implement today.

Eliminate Waiting Times Within Continuous Testing

Add to calendar
Thursday, May 2, 2019 - 11:15am to 12:00pm

Wait time is the silent killer of faster application delivery and nowhere is this more true than in testing. You need to be “testing early and often” while simultaneously creating practices that standardize and automate processes so they’re easier to monitor and enforce. Join this session to see how to:

·         Increase your DevTesters' efficiency in building and maintaining automation assets using multiple SDKs

·         Remove bottlenecks that often slow down projects and damage quality

·         Accelerate feedback and visibility over pipeline execution

DevOps for Leadership

Add to calendar
Thursday, May 2, 2019 - 3:00pm to 3:45pm
DevOps is for gaining insight and building confidence. Speed and agility are side effects. Adding tools and automation won’t make much of a change without cultural and organizational changes to support the process. Let business value guide your process. Don't just blindly add bureaucracy.
