Needing to embrace mobile test automation but facing analysis paralysis?

You’re not alone. In a recent survey by Kobiton, 25.9% of respondents stated that the largest barrier to entry for test automation is finding the right tools. Not knowing which automation path to adopt can be potentially damaging to your ability to release faster and with higher quality.

However, the right tool for someone else may not be the right tool for your organization. So how do you pick one?

Join Shannon Lee in this webinar for a whirlwind tour of the major testing frameworks you should consider and the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Shannon will look at all the well-known players, both open source and commercial, and even the lesser-known ones that deserve a closer look.

This deep dive into frameworks will allow attendees to leave the webinar with a blueprint in place to help them select the right tool for their organization’s specific needs.

Presenter:  Shannon Lee (LinkedIn profile) Developer Evangelist for Kobiton has 5+ years experience in the technical world of DevOps. With two Bachelor’s of Science degrees in Biology and Mathematics from GSU, Shannon enjoys challenging herself in learning new trends in software development, test automation, and applied data science. Shannon also enjoys engaging individuals with goals of inspiring and encouraging others, especially women in technology, as well as learning from brilliant minds within the DevOps community.

“What Gets Measured Gets Managed.” Jamie Mitchell explains, “I have heard this since the first day I got into software. Management wants metrics.

The managers would tell us that it allowed them to maximize our effort and the organizational profits. The more cynical of us always said that it was to make sure we were not sitting around drinking coffee instead of working.”

Not everything that matters can be measured. Not everything that we can measure matters. And this applies to software test automation more than in most software endeavors.

As an automator of almost 30 years, Jamie has struggled with the demand for metrics from management for most of his career. Most of the metrics that he has been forced to collect were—in his humble opinion—not only worthless, but also misleading and subject to manipulation by those who wanted to prove their point (no matter what that point was.)

Join the discussion, between Rex Black and Jamie Mitchell (LinkedIn profile), as they cover various kinds of metrics that have been suggested for automation.

This webinar is the first in a 3 part series series on Taking Requirements to the Next Level Series by Solutions Cube.  Although this module is a part of the series – each module in the series can be taken individually.

User acceptance test criteria provides a project team with valuable insight as to how well the project solution meets the expectations of the business stakeholders. Unfortunately for many project efforts, this valuable information is created too late in the projects lifecycle to uncover gaps in the business requirements ultimately resulting in the project solution never being built.

Attend this 1 hour webinar to learn why the creation of User Acceptance Test Objectives prior to finalizing business requirements will help uncover requirement gaps as well as end product expectations that may actually be out of scope for the project.

In this 1 hour in-depth webinar participants learn:

• Utilizing transaction Inputs and Outputs to clarify the types of processing that will be performed once the project solution is implemented
• Describing acceptance test objectives and mapping these to business requirements to drive out clarity and completeness of currently documented need statements
• Creating the foundation for producing in scope detail test plans and test scripts to be executed during the later testing phases of the project

Session Information:  Solutions Cube Group’s webinars are presented by experienced staff members and partners who have over 30 years of experience managing projects and developing and running facilitated project meetings and delivering project management training courses.

Shift left. Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD). Continuous deployment. DevOps. What is all this stuff and what does it mean for you as the tester?

In this keynote, Rex Black will explain these concepts and their test implications. He will then describe the emerging role of the SDET (Software Development Engineering in Test, also called SET) and what SDETs do.

Yes, being an SDET is about test automation, but it’s about a lot more than that, and Rex will give you some examples of things you can expect to do as an SDET in a shift left world over the coming decade.

Don’t worry. Life as a tester in the SDET reality is gonna be fun and exciting, and Rex will discuss these points and more, helping you be more effective in Agile projects.
