Spend less time refactoring and more time testing smarter
Come and discuss how modern tools approach test maintenance challenges in an agile and DevOps aware fashion. We will discuss the shift from brittle xpath based selectors to scriptless UI testing as well as how changes at the microservice API layer don't have to mean half a sprints’ worth of test refactoring pain. You will also see how being able to re-use assets between types of test – e.g. scaling API tests for performance – can bring benefit to teams. Finally, we will touch on ways in which virtual services can be used to decouple projects from complex dependencies and enable faster and more robust delivery processes.
