Accessors, also known as Locators, are a key component of automated testing.

They allow automated testing tools to interact with the application under test by clicking buttons, filling out forms, or executing other required actions.

But applications today have become more complex and dynamic, causing accessors to become unreliable.

The consequences of unreliable accessors are significant. Not only do they lead to test failures and false positives, but they also require significant effort to maintain and update.

In some cases, test teams may need to spend more time maintaining their test scripts than testing the application.

How can automation teams compensate?

Join this webinar to learn:

• How dynamic applications and code-generators may exacerbate the issue
• What solutions teams can adopt to help minimize the incidence of unreliable accessors
• How AI can help make approaches more robust

Register to join the conversation and learn how common this problem may be and how to address it effectively.

Elevating testing demands effective measurement to help quality teams understand progress, set goals, and communicate their impact.

But QA is virtually drowning in data; test results, sprint tracking, deferral rates, and bug density can all be gathered in a tester’s regular work. Quality teams need to decipher the right short and long-term signals to ensure their organization can deliver exceptional user experiences and see the maximum ROI from digital transformation.

In this 2 hour workshop, you’ll learn how to assess your current approach to QA key performance indicators (KPIs) and build a path to an effective measurement strategy.

You will understand your maturity compared to other organizations, find the right KPIs to communicate across your team, align those metrics to your organizational goals, and come away with a workbook to manage your measurement strategy moving forward.

Participants will:

• Assess their current measurement maturity
• Understand how to align QA strategy to organizational goals
• Learn strategies to positively influence core QA KPIs
• Takeaway a workbook to help them build on their measurement strategy
