Today, users expect a seamless web experience – 88% of users won’t return to a website with a bad UX.

However, testing the necessary browsers across different operating systems on a local machine is nearly impossible.

Why?

As development teams endeavor to speed up deployments, QA teams lack the time to test all possible configurations, or the resources to maintain devices and configure browsers.

Learn how to achieve test coverage when testing across multiple browsers and devices. Matt will show you how to scale one test script to 2000+ configurations in the cloud, and then deploy through a CI/CD pipeline to make the most of your team’s resources and time.

Learn:

• How to speed up your tests with a Selenium Grid
• Best practices of testing with a Selenium Grid
• Benefits of deploying these tests with a continuous deployment tool
• Putting it all together – a workflow that scales one test script to 2000+ configurations, deployed through a CI/CD pipeline

Presenter:  Matt Bonner (LinkedIn profile) Technical Solutions Engineer SmartBear for the functional front end and API testing tools; is interested in deep troubleshooting of complex workflows and sharing with the Test Automation industry though delivering webinars. He specializes in Automation and enjoys giving personalized technical demonstrations with integrations like BDD, Workday, and other BPA tools.

When things get hectic and the schedule slips, it becomes crucial to get back to the customer as soon as possible with some adjustments to functionality being delivered. In fact, it is even more crucial to avoid that schedule slippage in the first place.

Most importantly, it is critical to any project manager or QA manager to provide accurate estimates for each feature to be delivered, with accurate time frame when it will be delivered.

Agile projects also must have better control over increments to make sure specific functionality is delivered at the right time.

In this presentation, Dr. Magdy Hanna will show how Feature-Based Project Management™ adopted by Rommana ALM sets a new standard for managing software projects.

Some of the features that will be discussed in this presentation are:

Moving to a more agile way of working is not easy. Most infrastructure projects are still delivered via a linear Waterfall approach of design, build, test, and commission through large and often disparate teams.

Within these projects, PMOs are indispensable for Project Managers in ensuring they have the right resources, achieve progress towards goals, and deliver expected benefits.

In this webinar Sachin Melwani (LinkedIn profile) will look at how PMOs can go further and be a driver of transformation. He will ask the question whether Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) can be used to scale Agile to large programs of work that are not software related.

Sachin will look at how Agile PMOs can help Project Managers follow an iterative development approach to planning and delivery.

To do this, PMOs themselves will need to adapt to this ever-changing dynamic to be able to keep up with shorter delivery cycles and shifting priorities.

Projects can then be driven by agile teams that use continuous feedback loops to adjust their course and make incremental deliveries.

We will look at how the PMO can support Agile project delivery and how the PMO can support overall business agility to adopt some of the Agile mindset.

The role of Sponsors will change to support this Agile delivery by measuring benefits and value being delivered and shifting focus from gateway methodology-driven project execution.

As self-managing teams progress with delivery, how do changes and variations get approved?

Similarly, how do the processes for risk draw-down need to change to allow project teams to be more nimble and the Project Manager to respond to day-to-day basis without escalation?
