The term “automation” has heavily influenced how we define the software testing industry. For many years, we’ve used it as a catch-all to determine whether a tester, testing team, or IT organization is successful. But the role of test automation is changing.

Time and experience have shown that an overly broad application of test automation can make even the most talented QA teams less effective. Common mistakes, like using a percentage of test cases automated to define success, are costly and overburden QA teams.

In this web seminar Melissa will re-examine the role of test automation in the QA process. We’ll discuss common misconceptions about test automation and how you can address them. Along the way we will share proven tactics that you can use to make immediate improvements to your QA process.

Learn:

1. The most common misconceptions about test automation and how to correct them
2. How to measure the success of your automation strategy in a way that aligns with your quality goals
3. How to organize and run your teams to create a culture of quality and make your test automation strategy more effective

Presenter:  Melissa Tondi (LinkedIn profile) spent most of her career working with software testing teams. Founder of Denver Mobile and Quality (DMAQ), Past President & Board member of Software Quality Association of Denver (SQuAD), & professional services manager at Rainforest QA: she assisted companies to continuously improve the pursuit of quality software. Melissa has focused on building and organizing teams around three major tenets—”Efficiency, Innovation, &  Culture” using the greatest common denominator (GCD) approach for determining ways team members can assess, implement, and report on day-to-day activities.  In this way the gap between need & value is as small as possible.
