Every year we see a slew of reports on the state of testing. But who has time to read them all? Well, we reviewed every state of testing report from 2020 so you didn’t have to.

Given that 2020 was an unusual year, it had us wondering, where is testing at today, and where is it going in 2021? All eyes were on digital platforms this past year — whether they were ready or not. And that made web and mobile app testing even more high stakes. That isn’t changing any time soon.

In this webinar, we’ll break down everything you need to know from recent reports and provide expert recommendations for test automation in 2021.

Join this webinar, led by  Eran Kinsbruner, Perfecto Chief Evangelist to understand the test automation landscape for 2021, and see where you stack up to your peers.

In this interactive webinar you will:

• Top testing challenges and trends for 2021
• How and when teams are testing
• Key takeaways for QA, dev, and more
• Test automation benchmarks
• Expert recommendations for 2021

Presenter: Eran Kinsbruner (LinkedIn profile) Mobile Technical Evangelist Perfecto,  and author of The Digital Quality Handbook: Guide for Achieving Continuous Quality in a DevOps Reality; & Continuous Testing for DevOps Professionals: A Practical Guide From Industry Experts has extensive experience in the mobile testing market. Prior to Perfecto, he was the mobile testing CTO at Texas Instruments and project manager at Matrix, and he co-invented a test-exclusion automated mechanism for mobile J2ME testing at Sun Microsystems.

QA plays a strategic role in building and asserting the quality of business-critical and customer-facing applications.

Measuring and tracking test results are keys to success, and although it’s sometimes more difficult to show the business impact of testing efforts, it’s a critical factor in driving a culture of quality.

In this session, Mary Kate Morrison will cover why it’s so important to track quality metrics and which of those metrics are the most useful.

You’ll also learn:

• Where to look for the right data
• Identifying the right KPIs for your team
• How to use data to boost collaboration
• Real-world examples of how to measure business impact

Whether you are just getting started on your test automation journey, or you are an automation veteran, everyone will take away impactful measurement strategies.

Two Points of View at Two with Rex Black & Rob Sabourin

Join Rex Black and Rob Sabourin (LinkedIn profile) for a lively back-and-forth on the topic followed by a Q&A opportunity. Rob observes that, today, many software testers are challenged to quickly identify product quality concerns amidst turbulent project contexts.

Business, technology, and organizational factors change frequently. Testers are forced to continuously adapt, to think on their feet, and to provide stakeholders, team members and even system users, with meaningful feedback about quality concerns, and operational readiness.

There are many different test automation technologies which can facilitate the control and observation of software. Rob notes that, among his customers, test automation technologies are mainly limited to implementing automated verification checks, as part of regression suites, in continuous integration and deployment processes.

This webinar will address the problem of how test automation tools, methods, and techniques can be effectively used to facilitate, and improve the efficiency of, exploratory testing.

Janet will demonstrate the benefits of collaboration and simplicity in activities including automation, ATDD (Acceptance Test-Driven Development), and exploratory testing.

Learn how to identify testing needs not just for each story, but also for individual product features as well as the product as a whole. Attendees will also participate in hands-on exercises exploring common testing concepts.

There is no place where the aphorism, “time is money” rings more true than in the fast moving world of finance. Hear how Tide, a business banking platform and one of the first digital-only finance platforms for small businesses in the UK, transformed their digital testing strategy to test faster and with better coverage.

Faced with little to no test automation coverage, and having to execute tests on the local devices, Tide knew there was a better way. Thanks to parallel execution, cloud infrastructure, end-to-end testing support and the close collaboration with the development team, Tide was able to vastly accelerate their smoke and regression testing, extend test coverage, and release high-quality, reliable apps to their members.

Join this webinar to hear from Tide’s Senior QA Engineer of Automation, Kumar Ashok, alongside Perfecto’s Solutions Engineer Julius Mong and learn how Tide’s testing transformation was accomplished. Kumar & Julius will cover how in just 6 months, Tide turned a 4-hour process of manual testing into only 12 minutes of automated testing.

Attend this webinar to learn:

• How Tide extended test automation coverage for web and mobile apps.
• How they accelerated smoke and regression testing from hours to minutes.
• See a live demo of parallel execution in the cloud.
• How a cloud solution helped them work seamlessly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
