For years, organizations have only automated about 20% of their total test suites, on average.

A new survey conducted by Tricentis & TechWell shows that a major increase in test automation rates occurred in 2020 – along with a significant shift in the way testing is perceived.

Join Clint and learn how testing changed in 2020, how these changes directly correlate to an organization’s DevOps maturity level, and the key insights from this research that can help you accelerate your organization’s journey to DevOps and test automation maturity.

You will cover:

• How (and why) test automation reached a tipping point in 2020
• How the way organizations perceive testing affects DevOps maturity
• The testing challenges you can expect at each DevOps maturity level
• How major shifts in the way we work have affected the role of testing, how testers spend their time, and more

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.

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.
