Manual testing has long been the cornerstone of software quality, relying on the expertise of software testers to ensure an excellent user experience. However, manual testing alone is no longer a viable testing strategy. High-velocity teams often struggle to keep up with frequent releases, demanding a hybrid or even fully automated approach.

To manage, quality teams are turning to low-code test automation solutions. But, the line between what to automate and what to test manually is blurred. Understanding the role of each—and their impact on UX—is critical to building an effective quality strategy.

Join Damon Paul, (LinkedIn profile) Testing Expert and Technical Solutions Engineer at mabl, to explore ways to combine manual and automated functional testing to create a high-impact quality engineering strategy.

Attendees will hear about how to:

  • Connect your strategy back to the user experience
  • Balance the roles of automated and manual tests
  • Leverage low-code test automation in your quality strategy

Presenter:  Damon Paul Testing Expert and Technical Solutions Engineer is a Testing Expert and Technical Solutions Engineer at mabl who loves nothing more than to empower humans with technology and knowledge. With experience as both a Manual QA Specialist and QA Automation Engineer, Damon has experience quickly understanding a team’s quality and testing goals and guiding them to solutions and testing practices that work best for them.

We are inundated by scads of mixed messages about software development, testing, quality, and delivery today.

There are the Agile Manifesto and principles, SCRUM, Kanban, Scaled Agile Framework, the book – How Google Tests Software, the tech talk – Test is Dead, murmurs about achieving 100% automation, goals of delivering faster and more frequently to customers, the idea that we can solve every problem with DevOps, and so on.

Some of these messages leave organizations confused about the value of testing, and testers wondering if they have a career path at all.

We indeed are at a critical juncture in the quality and testing space, and if we aren’t careful, we could be joining the dodo and the dinosaurs.

How will we survive all this?

Dawn Haynes, (LinkedIn profile) believes the heart of the issue is in becoming truly agile in our beliefs, approaches, and attitudes about testing. Without the flexibility to serve the needs of our teams and organizations TODAY (and tomorrow!), we should be concerned.

So, what is the true meaning of agility for testers? Does it mean doing “Agile” things? Following SCRUM? Doing DevOps? Etc.?

Dawn doesn’t think so. Please join Dawn to take a deep dive into what true agility could look like for testers and teams moving forward!

In this free webinar, Rex will discuss these points and more, helping you be more effective in Agile projects.

  1. Do you find it confusing when your Selenium test sometimes waits for a page to load and sometimes it doesn’t?
  2. Do you get frustrated that you can’t check to see if an alert is present on the page without canceling it?
  3. Are you constantly sending timeout commands during your tests?

There are several ways you can customize the behavior of the browser you are using to test when you start a session.

You can leverage these settings to ensure consistent and reliable behavior across different parts of your tests to minimize time spent investigating failures.

The W3C specification for WebDriver has also added several helpful options that are still underused. Additionally, each browser vendor offers custom ways for working with their browser.

In this webinar, Titus Fortner, (LinkedIn profile) Senior Developer Experience Engineer at Sauce Labs, will walk through how WebDriver capabilities work.

Understand how to set and work with:

  • Timeout values
  • Page loading strategy
  • JavaScript alerts
  • Insecure Certificates
  • File Interactability
  • Plus various vendor-specific preferences and extensions

Test – Driven Development (TDD), is a software development technique that flips the testing process on its head: rather than testing after the product is done, developers build tests first and use the failure as a guide to write the necessary code.

TDD’s immediate benefit is that it gives better test coverage, but there are more beneficial second order effects that come when applying it consistently.

Moving in this step by step, feedback driven process improves the team productivity and results in a malleable software design.

In this presentation, Rex & Gio look at how to bring this mindset that focuses on iteration and feedback in all the areas of software and product development.

Presenter:

Gio Lodi (LinkedIn profile) is the author of Test – Driven Development in Swift. He’s been exploring testing and automation since 2011, when he encountered TDD while working on a startup with his University housemates. Gio publishes his findings in his blog and with presentations such as this one. He lives in an Australian beach town with his wife and two little children, and works remotely as mobile infrastructure engineer at Automattic, where he helps teams working on apps such as WordPress ship quality code on a
schedule.

The demand for faster software releases has created new challenges for those that fail to test earlier and more frequently in the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Bugs found post release instead of in the early stages of the SDLC cost organizations significant sums of money and irreversible damage to their brand, customer retention, regulation compliance, and the overall bottom line.

By deploying AI analytics in conjunction with shift left, organizations can increase product release efficiency and minimize costs associated with reactive remediation.

Shift left allows organizations to remain proactive as it pertains to unit, functional, and non-functional testing (performance and security), in order to properly enable both business and technical users to execute tests early and often.

This ensures consistent quality, full visibility, security, and faster time to market. By also deploying AI capabilities, QA and dev teams can start testing even earlier, test smarter and streamline critical decision making in the testing cycle.

Join Guy Arieli (LinkedIn profile) CTO QA, Digital.ai & Juan Lugo (LinkedIn profile) Product Marketing Manager – Testing, Digital.ai; in this webinar for a closer look at how to align distributed teams with unified business metrics.

Guy & Juan will cover creating effective, testing strategies, as well as:

  • The benefits of prioritizing testing earlier in the SDLC
  • The necessary cultural shift and how to organize teams for success
  • Creating synergies to increase productivity between teams
  • Leveraging AI and ML to create efficiencies and optimize testing
  • Automated test execution for non-technical users
