Microsoft Project offers a robust and powerful model for managing project costs.

In this one-hour webinar, Dale will take you on a “deep dive” of all aspects of the cost model, including each of the following:

• Creating Work, Material, and Cost resources to prepare for modeling project costs
• Understanding how the Standard Rate, Overtime Rate, and Cost Per Use fields contribute to task costs
• Understanding the resource cost accrual method
• Understanding the behavior of the Fixed Cost and Fixed Cost Accrual fields
• Understanding the formula used by MS Project to calculate task costs
  • (HINT: there is much more to the formula than you might realize)
• Using Cost Rate Tables to track multiple resource cost rates

NOTE: This webinar does not include content on Earned Value Analysis (EVA), a topic that could consume an entire hour all by itself.

Enterprise test automation is hard. Most testers understand the reality and are prepared for it, but some companies grossly underestimate the task, producing more debt than progress further down the line. Seeing results takes patience, perseverance, and thoughtful collaboration between colleagues.

What does that mean for the beginning, middle, and end of your TestOps journey? Is there ever really an end?

This web seminar analyzes how one company went from mostly manual testing to drastically improving their quality process and advanced test automation strategies in less than a year.

In this interactive webinar you will:

1. Challenges and obstacles common to teams just starting with test automation
2. Where the organization started and how they decided on test automation as the best route to success
3. The triumphs and value the organization realized as a result of taking the leap into test automation
4. How to integrate test automation into an overall quality approach

Presenters:

Ryan Silvera (LinkedIn profile) Sr. Automation Engineer

Mason Dula (LinkedIn profile) Automation Engineer

Crystal Escalante (LinkedIn profile) a senior strategic leader, she has extensive experience supporting QA solutions for enterprise-level applications and systems and managing large onshore/offshore teams in high-growth environments.
