Whether you’re a developer, tester, or manager, you’ve probably heard, “Test your code as you write it!”

This is a common mantra among development teams today, yet for many, it remains a lofty goal as opposed to a reality.

Three years ago, all of Coverity’s end-to-end tests were manual. After a transformation of the test processes, 97 percent of the end-to-end tests are now automated, and a full round of end-to-end tests can be completed in two days.

Today Coverity uses tools such as Selenium WebDriver and TestNG, and the maintenance release cycle has been reduced from two weeks to three days.

Take back the top three lessons Coverity learned in its automation journey, including initiating a set of passing tests that must be in place before a feature is declared accepted and how to focus automated test development and test execution based on the impact of changes to the software.

In this seminar, Andreas Kuehlmann, will discuss:

1. The value of automated testing during development
2. The impact of test automation on the organization and the business
3. Why code coverage tools are not sufficient to determine the adequacy of testing
4. How to drive accountability for testing across the development lifecycle

Presenter: Andreas Kuehlmann (LinkedIn profile) Senior Vice President of Research and Development Coverity  is responsible for global research and development activity. Kuehlmann has an appointment as adjunct professor at University of California, Berkeley, and served as president of the IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation and is author/editor of  The Best of ICCAD. He was part of the IBM T.J. Watson Research Centeand  received the Dipl-Ing. degree and the Dr.-Ing. habil degree in electrical engineering from the University of Technology at Ilmenau, Germany, and is an IEEE Fellow.
