How do you know what to test?

There seems to never be enough time (or money or people) to adequately test systems. Rapid cycle times brought on by the adoption of agile approaches only seem to make things worse.

Even with automated systems for running tests, you’re still left with the time-consuming problem of designing many test cases.

In this webinar will introduce you to a simple yet powerful technique for modeling functional requirements and a tool that uses those models to generate effective test cases.

This approach can be used for unit testing, user testing, and more. Tests can be developed from early specifications (use cases and user stories) and in response to bug reports.

You’ll see how to easily produce a good set of test cases – exhaustive enough to give your software a good workout, but intelligent enough not to waste time and effort.

Presenter: Marc Balcer (LinkedIn profile) is an architect at Model Compilers, specializing in using model-driven approaches to analyze, develop, and manage projects in subject matters as diverse as medical instrumentation, telecommunications management, financial services, and transportation logistics. Marc consistently seeks out opportunities for automation in the development process, developing tools to transform information captured during requirements and analysis into executable code.

• Do you know how many third-party scripts your pages are currently running?
• Do you know how many of those scripts are affecting your site’s performance — either by slowing down page rendering or by potentially blocking the entire page?

If you don’t know the answer to these questions, you’re not alone. The rampant proliferation of third-party scripts makes them difficult to manage and control.

In this webcast led by Tammy Everts (LinkedIn profile) you’ll walk through a process for testing the scripts on your pages to see which ones represent a SPOF.

Tammy will also review an 11-step plan for bullet-proofing your site against third-party failure.
