Expand Beyond UI With AI-Powered Codeless API Testing
Wednesday, October 7, 2020 - 2:15pm to 3:15pm
When testing enterprise applications, most people manually test the application’s UI. Test automation is more efficient and scalable, but delivering a compelling digital experience requires constant UI updates that make it difficult to create a stable UI test to use and reuse reliably over time.

Achieving Continuous Testing Against All Odds
Wednesday, October 7, 2020 - 2:15pm to 3:15pm
Today's development teams are often playing catch up with their developers because they often lack a cohesive set of tools to manage all aspects of testing. What if there were a solution that helps testers address all aspects of continuous testing from a single platform? Well, now there is! BlazeMeter Continuous Testing is a cloud platform that lets your testing team address testing from their perspective. Join us for this webinar to see a demo of the transformative technology and how it can help your teams achieve continuous testing.

Creating a Production Level Automation Framework in Under 60 Minutes
Wednesday, October 7, 2020 - 3:45pm to 4:45pm
Designing a test automation framework is mandatory if you want to succeed with your automation effort. However, this process is not intuitive and takes a lot of trial and error to get right. Many of us spend years failing at this process until we find something that works.
Acceptance Test Driven Automation is a development activity that exists for intuitively architecting an automation framework that is flexible, scalable, and robust. It's a step-by-step guide that helps an automation engineer have a framework and a test ready to run in production in about 45 minutes.

Testing Roles and Career Paths (what you need to know, and when)
Wednesday, October 7, 2020 - 3:45pm to 4:45pm
Testing continues to evolve as Agile, DevOps, and now DevSecOps are the new standards for the software the application lifecycle. Great efficiencies have been gained with automation playing a larger role in testing. With a “shift-left” mindset, testing is now more involved, and earlier in the process. However, “shift-right” has also taken hold allowing testing to extend beyond releases and gain valuable data from production systems, which can then feed back into more robust testing that actually more closely resembles how software is used.

Your Journey Towards Agile Success: An Integrated and Strategic Approach to Test Management
Thursday, October 8, 2020 - 11:30am to 12:30pm
A wide number of Agile teams globally use Jira for project management, issue tracking, and bug tracking. However, there are some limitations to just using Jira by itself for end-to-end test management since there is no testing-specific functionality built natively into the tool. As testing takes on an increasingly vital role in business success, testers must move to an advanced test management strategy to meet the demand for higher-quality releases with increased speed and efficiency.

Keeping your UI Automation Efforts Scalable, Valuable, and Under Control
Thursday, October 8, 2020 - 1:00pm to 2:00pm
Serious Automated UI testing efforts require both Model-based and Traditional methods for any modern QA organization. However, as UI testing deliverables become more critical in order to keep up with CI/CD release cycles they often become difficult to maintain and show poor ROI. During this session, Mike will examine the inverse relationship between complexity and achieving ROI, and how overly complex frameworks will not scale over time and can be self-defeating.

Mobile Testing in Today’s Environment
Thursday, October 8, 2020 - 1:00pm to 2:00pm
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, organizations are finding new ways to continue operations while taking safety precautions. One protective measure is requiring employees to work remotely. But how does WFH affect operations in your mobile testing lab? How can you release apps and updates on time remotely? Is it still possible to collaborate with team members?

Testing Apps with AI
Thursday, October 8, 2020 - 2:15pm to 3:15pm
How can you test all of the world’s apps and web pages? Using traditional testing techniques like appium and selenium will only get you half-way there. They won’t help you when you start running against unity based apps and games. Additionally, tests written for one platform don’t work on any others.

Why Testing in DevOps is Broken (and How to Fix It)
Thursday, October 8, 2020 - 3:45pm to 4:45pm
More teams are adopting DevOps practices, however, they’re not always built with quality at the core. Teams have no choice but to build a testing strategy as they go, rather than designing the culture, processes, and tools they need upfront to create an excellent customer experience. In this discussion, Darrel will share relevant data from mabl’s 2020 Testing in DevOps Survey of over 1,000+ testers and developers.

Transforming Test Automation with DevOps, AI, and RPA
Thursday, October 8, 2020 - 3:45pm to 4:45pm
In a fast-paced world of Agile and DevOps, where the business landscape, technology, and the test requirements change rapidly, the role of quality assurance and testing is constantly evolving and expanding. From being the gatekeepers for the quality deliverables, QA teams are evolving into champions of optimization, collaboration, and transparency across software development lifecycle – driving more direct and greater business value. Modern test automation tools that support end-to-end automation of both testing as well as business processes are serving QA teams best in their new role.
