STARWEST 2022 - Industry Technical Presentations

UI testing is often treated as the final stretch of software development as it makes sure that no surprises occur in production. Running a set of UI tests before every sprint ends, however, doesn’t mean that we know what's underneath the surface. Only by employing a combination of good testing stack, tools and strategy adapted to our setup, environments and application can we turn UI testing into a critical instrument to support the last mile of our testing sprint. The tactical use of headless testing helps achieve 90% of the results with 10% of the overall testing efforts.

ZAPTEST allows the testing of any GUI based software. ZAPTEST’s 1SCRIPT technology allows users to script test procedures once and execute them on any correspondent application on any platform and environment.

Covid accelerated the need for companies to adopt & adapt to an omni-channel digital world.  It was no longer for growth but rather for their survival.  In an omni-channel digitial landscape, customers use the devices available to them in that moment to complete a transaction for business.  For a 'consumer-centric' business, every transaction counts and for a customer, user experience is what differentiates one business from another.  

Test automation is table stakes in today’s enterprise application landscape. But the testing marketplace is full of solutions that are tough for business testers to learn and require too much upfront work to automate on a consistent basis. That’s why we rolled out Copado Robotic Testing — to empower teams of all skill levels and drive smarter digital experiences.

One of the biggest challenges developers/testers face is the speed of test execution but they are stuck with just two options—depending on legacy cloud infrastructure or painstakingly building a local setup.Legacy cloud infrastructure isn’t as fast as a local setup. But, on the other hand, local setups don’t have the features that can be offered on the cloud. This is exactly where a cloud-based next-gen smart test orchestration platform comes in. It brings intelligence to a rather mundane and tedious task, thereby ensuring both time and cost savings for businesses. 

Test automation has been a key enabler of continuous testing and has contributed immensely to improving the delivery outcomes of the agile teams. The speed, efficiency, and scalability it offers has helped enterprises to digitally transform and continuously improving the customer experience resulting in improved revenues.

Although, software QA teams face key challenges while dealing with test automation:

Quality assurance, and testing in particular, can have many shapes in the context of nowadays numerous software development methodologies and philosophies. While some people may still be doing ad-hoc testing or fully relying on testers to execute all test cases, others are much further ahead, adopting DevOps culture with a strong automation mindset. But are these exclusive? At TestRail we believe manual and automated testing serve different purposes and complement themselves.

In the world of testing, fragmentation is increasingly a real challenge. Testing teams are faced with the paradox of choice every step of the journey from test design, test building, test data, test infrastructure, and test reporting. As organizations grow and scale, complexity in its testing landscape often leads to substantial overhead, inefficiency, and higher cost. 

In today’s API-First world, including API tests in your application testing strategy is critical to ensuring the quality from your user’s perspective. However, API testing commonly requires technical skills that limit who can create and manage automated tests.

In this session, Sarah will share how mabl’s low-code test automation solution democratizes API testing. Learn strategies to enable team members of all technical aptitudes to create API tests without writing code, and integrate UI and API functional tests to achieve more comprehensive test coverage.

Today, everybody is tasked with integrations. We must integrate our product with EVERY system, component, and operating system under the sun. Unfortunately, it might not be desirable or even possible to access those systems during development. There could be security, performance or maintenance issues that make them unavailable. We see teams having dependencies on services owned by other groups which are not accessible, which halts development.

This is when we mock, stub, or virtualize.

If you’ve ever left a toothache untreated for any length of time, you might get by for a little while, but eventually you end up having to have something worse than a filling, like a root canal. Unfortunately, a lot of businesses right now are in that early toothache stage when it comes to understanding the health and performance of their applications.
