STAREAST 2022 - Industry Technical Presentations

If you ask ten people the true definition of DevOps, you'll get ten answers. There are different views on what DevOps is and who has achieved success. Many organizations know what is necessary to build quality into their DevOps processes, but many are stuck in the middle of their transformation. They've tried all the best practices to mimic the fast-paced startups and unicorns but can't figure out how to ensure quality.

Join Clint Sprauve, Enterprise Strategist for Tricentis, and learn:

20+ years and not much has changed.   Testers are asked to test more technologies, faster and more often.  On top of this, testing is still mostly done manually, because the tools haven’t lived up to their promise – automations are brittle and require continuous maintenance.   The modern digital business must deliver customer value continuously, rapidly and with high quality - whether the value is delivered via an application, a process automation or a mobile experience.   The future of testing is digital.  

In the digital economy, customer perception is the only reality, but the complexity of testing across digital interactions and physical transactions boundaries can blur the real user experience.

In this session, we will explore two unique use cases that highlight the importance of testing the human experience within the digital world:

Some say a picture is worth a thousand words, but is it really enough when it comes to GUI testing? Have you spent countless hours staring at logs and screenshots trying to figure why a test failed? In this presentation, we will figure out what the heck happened using the new video capture feature in Squish, Qt’s one-of-a-kind GUI testing automation tool, and Test Center, our centralized test result management platform. Learn how you can record, author and efficiently debug test cases working cross-platform and cross-device. 

In a rapidly changing marketplace, it's imperative to deliver at a fast release cycle. Ryo, a Software Engineer and the CEO & Co-Founder at Autify, will talk about the major challenges in testing, the short-term solutions with automation testing platforms and how to eliminate the test phase with Machine Learning. 

Learning Objectives:

• Challenges in QA testing
• Short-term solutions: automation testing
• Eliminating the test phase - Machine Learning
   

To test earlier in the software development life cycle, testing teams need a scalable, on-demand continuous testing platform that covers web, mobile, and more. This platform must support a wide range of tests, as well as test environments as a service, including platforms, test data and data mocking, global coverage, and the option for infinite scale. In this session, Mimi Benach will showcase how Perfecto and BlazeMeter offer a complete continuous testing platform that covers the entire testing pyramid in a way that is enterprise-grade and easy to use.

Learning Objectives:

Quality testing is not possible without quality data. With the ever-increasing complexity of today’s data ecosystems, generating useful, test data has become harder and riskier than ever. Test data solutions now exist that integrate directly into your data ecosystem to create test data that work across a variety of database types and looks, acts, and behaves like your production data because it's made from your production data.

Quality engineering is a team sport, requiring strong collaboration strategies and processes. As DevOps teams mature and development accelerates, creating a culture of quality across the entire team may seem like an insurmountable task. In this session, Darrel Farris will share strategies for nurturing a culture of quality. He’ll be joined by an esteemed panel to discuss their real-world advice for quality teams.

Attendees will learn:

In the next 3 years, the majority of organizations will have implemented AI-based testing. Brian will share his story of how Honeywell got ahead of this curve and replaced their homegrown test automation solution with Functionize’s intelligent testing platform. AI-based testing is the only way for modern teams to keep up with expectations in speed, reliability, and transparency. But, implementing such an innovative solution requires trust and organizational support.

How much inconspicuousness do you have in your organization, teams and processes? Are you even aware of those inconspicuous areas?

Do you have siloed teams? Do you need to check several tools to get the overall status of the project? These and more issues will get uncovered and addressed.

Join me in this talk to uncover what you may not be seeing that is impacting your efficiency and discover the importance of visibility in this fast paced world and how impactful it can be within a team.

Learning Objectives:

With an increased demand to automate test cases, codeless automation has emerged as a mainstream test automation solution for many testing teams globally. QMetry's experts will walk you through the scope, and benefits of codeless automation. The session will also cover how an effective codeless automation can be achieved with QMetry.

In this session, you will learn:

• The scope of codeless automation
• Key benefits of codeless automation
• QMetry's codeless automation solution
