The demand for faster software releases has created new challenges for those that fail to test earlier and more frequently in the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Bugs found post release instead of in the early stages of the SDLC cost organizations significant sums of money and irreversible damage to their brand, customer retention, regulation compliance, and the overall bottom line.

By deploying AI analytics in conjunction with shift left, organizations can increase product release efficiency and minimize costs associated with reactive remediation.

Shift left allows organizations to remain proactive as it pertains to unit, functional, and non-functional testing (performance and security), in order to properly enable both business and technical users to execute tests early and often.

This ensures consistent quality, full visibility, security, and faster time to market. By also deploying AI capabilities, QA and dev teams can start testing even earlier, test smarter and streamline critical decision making in the testing cycle.

Join Guy Arieli (LinkedIn profile) CTO QA, Digital.ai & Juan Lugo (LinkedIn profile) Product Marketing Manager – Testing, Digital.ai; in this webinar for a closer look at how to align distributed teams with unified business metrics.

Guy & Juan will cover creating effective, testing strategies, as well as:

• The benefits of prioritizing testing earlier in the SDLC
• The necessary cultural shift and how to organize teams for success
• Creating synergies to increase productivity between teams
• Leveraging AI and ML to create efficiencies and optimize testing
• Automated test execution for non-technical users

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.

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.
