]]> Mobile Testing webinar

We have heard a lot about Mobile Testing and how it differs from Web-based testing. However, do you know there is more to test on Mobile than just functionality and device-related testing?

Listen to Appium expert, Justin Ison, and Sr. Automation Architect, Anand Bagmar, in this in-depth session, where they shared hands-on real-world examples that are critical to include in your Mobile Testing.

Talking points include:

  • Understand when you need to go beyond regular testing approaches – ex: when to use real devices vs emulators/simulators; when to consider on-field testing along with beta/staged releases of your apps
  • Be aware of pitfalls – ex: insights from chaos/monkey testing, and ways to build observability into your app
  • Learn techniques that reduce various risks along the Dev-Test-Release cycle – ex: accessibility and visual testing

]]> Automate to Collaborate - Test Automation webinar by Vodafone's Test Innovation Manager: Alejandro Sanchez-Giraldo

Test automation is a tool that has been used for decades to assist us in ensuring quality in software development — but like any tool, there are many use cases, and it is up to the individual user to decide how the tool is implemented.

Alejandro Sanchez-Giraldo is a Test Innovation Manager @ Vodafone, and during his 13 years as a Quality Engineer and Advocate, he has seen many implementations of automation. Some created benefits and enabled teams to deliver scalable quality, compared to others that generated overheads and caused teams to be disjointed.

In this talk, Alejandro showcased 3 main approaches he has used to automate — which enabled teams to successfully deliver quality software: Celebrate Failure, Social Automation, and Sustainable Teams.

Alejandro discussed each method, showed examples from his own professional experience, and shared tips and best practices on how to ensure your team gets the most out of its automation tools and processes.

Two leading developers — from Jira/ Atlassian and Pushpay — shared their insights, tip, tricks, and best practices on how to maintain quality across the Dev-Test-Release cycle, without losing speed or coverage.

Talk 1: Reducing the Risk of Rapid Development and Continuous Delivery — by David Corbett (Director of Engineering @ Pushpay)
In this talk, David showed us what goes on under the hood of Pushpay’s development cycle.
He also talked about the ways in which Pushpay is empowering Dev and Test teams to be more autonomous, and prompting them to use advanced test automation tools & techniques, such as visual validation, in order to gain confidence in deploying many times each day.

Talk 2: Testing Hourglass at Jira Frontend — by Alexey Shpakov (Sr. Developer – Jira Frontend @ Atlassian)
We often hear people talk about the testing pyramid.
In Jira Frontend, we talk about testing hourglass — that means we expect our developers to be responsible for the whole lifecycle of the code — starting from creating tests and finishing with running a 24/7 on-call.
In this talk, Alexey did a deep-dive into the various types of testing they have in Jira Frontend, and discussed the various tools that allow them to deliver Jira to customers in a low-risk manner.

Ace functional and visual component testing with Cypress.io and Applitools — watch this on-demand webinar with two engineering giants: Gleb Bahmutov (VP Engineering @ Cypress.io) and Gil Tayar (Sr. Architect @ Applitools).

Functional and visual testing work very well together for end-to-end frontend tests.

In this hands-on session, Gleb Bahmutov and Gil Tayar showed how to apply the same approach to the individual components — the building blocks of modern web apps.

Component testing ensures a thorough validation of all our components’ variants such as different inputs and states, edge-case network responses, and responsive widths.

Gleb and Gil used Cypress.io to drive the tests and check them functionally, while integrating the Applitools plugin to provide us with the capability to quickly and easily test them visually across all browsers and response widths. Watch this on-demand webinar to see the full power of the functional and visual component tests’ ability to speed up the development cycle.

]]> Evolving Test Strategy to Meet Growing Business Challenges -- Fiserv Use Case of PDF Testing

Watch this hands-on session — including a live coding demo — to discover how Fiserv solved their challenge with automated PDF testing.

Business organizations are taking advantage of advancements in digital technology to grow their customer base and revenue at an increasing pace.

Simply put: the faster that new customer agreements, forms, and documents can be processed — the faster that companies can grow revenue from their expanding customer base. 

How does a software testing team respond to the business challenge of “increase the pace of business growth, increase the revenue”?

Specifically, how does a testing team effort improve their own efficiency in validating dynamically-generated PDF documents that are mission-critical to the pipeline of creating & establishing new business?

How can a testing process improvement effort — that includes automated visual validation — calculate ROI? What other opportunities does automated visual validation testing offer testing teams when they want to deliver increased value to their project and product teams?

In this hands-on session, Dave Harrison – Software Testing Practice Lead, Fiserv Global Business Systems — and Christopher Kane — Software Test Engineer, Fiserv Global Business Systems — discussed these challenges, and how they have made progress in taking them on. A walk-through of automated PDF document generation and visual validation was also shown.

Key takeaways:

  • Acknowledging business challenges to work faster and smarter — and how to plan for a response to those challenges
  • Planning and execution of an automated visual validation test improvement process for PDF documents
  • How to build upon an initial ‘win’ in a test automation project so that additional positive ROI can be demonstrated

]]> Quality Maturity Rubric - with Greg Sypolt

Building a culture of quality excellence in your organization is absolutely necessary to compete in 2020 and beyond. Every team member must be accountable for the quality of the application, and understand their role in delivering it. We need our teams to emphasize quality over quantity, work smarter, and set the right expectations, while delivering amazing results.

In a world of agile development — and even more so for those of us moving to CI-CD — testing all the things in a fast-paced development environment is challenging if not impossible. So what can we do about it?

One foundational aspect of success is to acknowledge where you are on the quality maturity rubric. By understanding your maturity curve, you will know how to best to set quality goals, diagnose needs, and identify interests for 2020 and beyond.

In this session, Greg Sypolt — VP of Quality Assurance @ EverFi — shared how he measures the quality maturity rubric in order to set the right execution path and set expectations in the quality journey for huge enterprises with dynamic, mission-critical applications.

Greg explored his experiences in building a quality platform that helped companies achieve elite quality status, and drive more business value, quality accountability, and shared responsibility with clear ownership.

Watch this on-demand webinar — for these takeaways:

  • The 3 pillars of app quality excellence as a foundation of your quality journey — and why establishing them is vital
  • How to start building a culture of quality excellence — right now!
  • How to measure the quality maturity rubric — and your team’s place on that curve
  • How to start building a quality platform in your organization — and how to emphasize its cultural importance
  • Reaping the savings and ROI of the quality platform
