Boost Quality in DevOps Pipelines with Agile Test Management

Wednesday, May 6, 2020 - 11:30am to 12:30pm

The right test management approach can significantly improve DevOps processes and outcomes. DevOps requires that testing teams build continuous quality into the DevOps pipeline, which for many teams represents a significant evolution of current and legacy processes. What you might not realize is how agile test management can be used to facilitate many of those changes. Join Tricentis for its Boost Quality in DevOps Pipelines with Agile Test Management session to learn how to put agile test management into action to modernize testing, improve DevOps workflows and further DevOps success.

How to Eliminate Escaped Defects With a Proven Test Automation Coverage Strategy

Wednesday, May 6, 2020 - 12:30pm to 1:30pm

No matter how good their test automation framework is, QA managers and engineers still get blamed whenever defects escape to production. This begs the question, why are critical defects — whether functional or non functional — escaping to production? In this live virtual session, Eran Kinsbruner, Chief Evangelist at Perfecto by Perforce, will uncover the root causes behind escaped defects in traditional testing cycles. Eran will provide a prescriptive and proven approach to building a solid test automation coverage strategy that reduces such risks.

How AI is Revolutionizing Software Test Automation

Wednesday, May 6, 2020 - 1:30pm to 2:30pm

Test Automation is considered one of the key aspects to deliver the speed and reliability of any continuous delivery pipeline and yet organizations recognize that on average 20-30% of their testing is fully automated. When asked about their major challenges to increasing automation coverage, the lack of proper skill sets combined with the cost of building and maintaining automation assets are at the top of the priority list. In this session, learn how Micro Focus is using Artificial Intelligence to deliver revolutionary advances in functional testing that will enable testers to easily keep...

Optimize Performance Testing with a Shift-Left Approach

Wednesday, May 6, 2020 - 2:45pm to 3:45pm

Today’s agile testing teams require a solid strategy for building and executing test cases earlier in their sprints to obtain the fast feedback required for iterative development. Unfortunately, when it comes to performance testing, most organizations complete this practice at the end of development cycles due to constraints in the test environment. Taking a shift-left approach to performance testing can identify API and UI issues earlier in the development lifecycle and reduce the cost of remediating defects once the application is fully built. This session will help you learn how to...

The (Source of) Truth Will Set You Free (To Test)

Thursday, May 7, 2020 - 9:45am to 10:45am

Are you a tester working within a regulated environment? Do you spend more time on documentation than you do on actually verifying the system? If so, please attend this session to learn how Jonathan Kauffman helped a bio-medical device company move from managing test cases with monolithic Word documents to using Zephyr for JIRA. Jonathan will also describe the test automation framework that he developed so that the team could reduce their manual test execution burden, and will discuss how he created a feature file generation tool so that Zephyr for JIRA could serve as the source of truth...

Practical DevSecOps Using Security Instrumentation

Thursday, May 7, 2020 - 9:45am to 10:45am

The traditional “outside in” scanning and firewalling approach to application security has failed. After decades of attempts to improve software security, vulnerability rates are still staggering while attacks are increasing in volume and severity. We need a new approach to security that doesn’t slow development or hamper innovation. In this talk, we will show how you can ensure software security from the “inside out” by leveraging the power of software instrumentation. Unlike scanning and firewalling, this approach establishes a safe and powerful way for development, security, and...

Mobile Testing in Today’s Environment

Thursday, May 7, 2020 - 11:15am to 12:15pm

Due to the worldwide outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19), the majority of enterprise organizations are taking precautions to protect employees from illness and to help control the spread of this illness.

One key protective measure is requiring employees to work remotely, often from their own homes. But how does WFH (work from home) affect operations in your mobile testing lab? How can you continue to release apps and updates on time from remote locations? Is it still possible to collaborate with team members and to access the required mobile devices critical for testing while at home...

Multi-Layered Test Automation Approach - What, Why and How?

Thursday, May 7, 2020 - 11:15am to 12:15pm

Implementing quality engineering in an agile environment is no longer feasible with legacy testing approaches. It requires a quantum leap forward - a holistic change across multiple levels of an organization to strike the right balance between application quality and time-to-market. Hyper-Testing is an agile and unified approach towards designing and executing a test automation strategy that covers end-to-end testing of all application layers. The end result is overall improvement in quality of defects, early detection of defects, lower Cost of Quality (CoQ), and faster time to market....

Tips for Managing a Remote Technology Team

Thursday, May 7, 2020 - 11:15am to 12:15pm

The typical responsibility of a leader is amplified when managing a remote team, as the convenience factor is suddenly gone. Operating at a distance requires more conscious effort and often times new ways of conducting typical managerial activities. In this session, we’ll explore some of the best practices to ensure your teams are productive, engaged, and performing at their best. Working at home can be as effective, if not more so, than traditional office arrangements when given the proper CARE they deserve.

Create a Culture of Quality Across Your Development Team

Thursday, May 7, 2020 - 1:30pm to 2:30pm

As more software teams are adopting continuous integration and continuous delivery, application testing has been a growing concern. It’s difficult for QA teams to keep up with the amount and frequency of tests. It doesn’t help that these teams are relying on tools and manual testing practices that are not built to keep up with this new pace of development. It’s the perfect opportunity for QA teams to take more of an advisory role by helping to orchestrate testing in the dev workflow and advocating for a culture of quality across their organization. Join this session to learn:
