How should we measure the success of a test automation project: tests automated or bugs found? QA teams often struggle to balance resources to meet the testing requirements, to match the velocity of the dev team, and to certify the quality of the code.

In this webinar Kevin will show how AI-based testing fundamentally shifts not only how we test, but what we test.

By combining the domain knowledge of your experts with an expert-system AI, we’ll create an application-specific intelligence that can autonomously test your system without human oversight or assistance.

Now that you have the power to scale testing to any level, we can stop being testers and finally become quality assurers.

Join us to learn:

• How to focus on finding bugs not on how many tests we can automate
• That we can use artifacts in plain sight to train the AI on our business rules, validations, and behaviors
• There is deep metadata that the AI can exhibit which shows where the defect density is high, where performance is slow, and where the application is not being tested
• That the way we test will never be the same again.

In our last web seminar, Kevin discussed the value of measuring Application Coverage as a better success metric than Test Coverage.

In this web seminar, Kevin builds on this notion by providing a complete perspective on testing that positions your team, and your application, to maximize your impact.

Data shows that only 30% of end-to-end tests are automated in 2022.

But why?

In this webinar, Artem will go through the challenges that companies face when they attempt to automate manual testing. He will discuss the reasons why automating more than 30% is not possible with legacy technologies such as Selenium for the majority of companies.

Join Artem & learn how testRigor solves these challenges, including how to:

In this interactive webinar you will:

1. Allow manual testers to build tests using plain English
2. Build tests purely from the end-user’s perspective, without reliance on details of implementation
3. Achieve maximum test coverage

Presenter: Artem Golubev (LinkedIn profile) CEO, testRigor is a co-founder of testRigor started his career 25+ years ago by building software for logistics companies. Since then he worked at companies like Microsoft and Salesforce where he learned about best practices and top technologies in QA.  His recent company testRigor graduated from Y Combinator, the top company accelerator, received a $5.2M investment from Silicon Valley VCs, grew 9X over the last 12 months acquiring customers like Netflix and IDT helping them to reduce the amount of test maintenance 200X and achieve their automation goals within months.

How Far Left Can You Go?

Applications built on microservices require a different approach to testing – but they also provide an opportunity to shift testing even further left.

There are several things that developers and testers can do prior to deployment to validate that new features are safe to deploy into the integrated environment.

By working together to shift more testing to the feature level, they can reduce the amount of API and functional testing that’s required and improve test coverage across the board.

This webinar, willl share a few strategies for shifting more testing to the feature level that can save time down the road

Learn About:

• Early-stage prototyping and mocking using code-level simulations
• Deploying simulation as a part of the build process
• Integrating contract testing to ensure API changes don’t break your application
• Deploying mocks and contracts as a part of the DevOps process

Get ready to overcome the barriers to shift-left testing.

By taking a second look at the testing pyramid, teams can find out which tests and resources really matter to achieve in-sprint testing.

In this Techwell webinar, Eran Kinsbruner and Stephen Feloney will discuss how to test earlier, faster, and continuously at enterprise-scale.

In this interactive webinar you will:

1. How the test pyramid has evolved.
2. Shifting tests left (and right!) in ways that serve your entire testing team.
3. What to measure in a continuous testing process.
4. What to measure in a continuous testing process.

And much more!
