Too often, and even in this day and age, quality is still an afterthought.

Erika Chestnut  (LinkedIn profile) Senior QA Manager Calendly will share how she convinced her organization to think differently about quality, and the steps she took to transform QA from a review step into a significant source of value that has led to faster, higher-quality releases that are focused on improving the customer experience.

Learn the shift-left approach Calendly implemented to significantly reduce last-minute testing efforts for their multiple daily releases, to encourage collaboration and accountability, and to reduce test build times by more than half.

You will learn:

• How you can convince your teams to think about quality throughout the entire lifecycle of the product, from concept to development to delivery and beyond
• Why QA teams should be involved as early as requirements gathering, and how making this shift opens up opportunities for QA to do more thought-based testing
• How to improve collaboration with developers to create better test strategies that accelerate feedback loops and ensure alignment with defined requirements

Organizations are quickly adapting to the “new normal” as they attempt to minimize disruption caused by a sudden need to support testers working remotely, without compromising quality or efficiency.

Whether due to unanticipated global events or as part of your organization’s remote testing strategy, the need to continue your test cycles unhindered is paramount.

In this web seminar Frank Moyer will cover two essential aspects of scaling your remote testing capabilities: enablement and efficiency.

You have to learn what is needed from a people, process, and systems perspective to enable remote testing in your organization. Successful remote teams are born out of organizations that understand the culture shift needed.

But remote testing isn’t just about enabling your team and implementing the right culture. It’s more important than ever to maximize your testing efficiency to overcome any inherent challenges and shortcomings that a remote team may inject into your release cycles.

Learn:

• The importance of a culture shift to ensure success
• How your peers are managing remote testing
• What the testing landscape will look like after employees start returning to work
• Why many organizations are planning to allow employees to work remotely forever
• How to drive efficiency into your remote testing cycles

Presenter: Frank Moyer (LinkedIn profile) CTO at Kobiton Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Georgia Tech’s ATDC and former President/CEO of GeoIQ
