Enterprise test automation is hard. Most testers understand the reality and are prepared for it, but some companies grossly underestimate the task, producing more debt than progress further down the line. Seeing results takes patience, perseverance, and thoughtful collaboration between colleagues.

What does that mean for the beginning, middle, and end of your TestOps journey? Is there ever really an end?

This web seminar analyzes how one company went from mostly manual testing to drastically improving their quality process and advanced test automation strategies in less than a year.

In this interactive webinar you will:

1. Challenges and obstacles common to teams just starting with test automation
2. Where the organization started and how they decided on test automation as the best route to success
3. The triumphs and value the organization realized as a result of taking the leap into test automation
4. How to integrate test automation into an overall quality approach

Exploratory testing is a name given for a technique of using knowledge, experience, and skills to test software in a non-linear, investigatory fashion.

• Is it a powerful and important part of each professional tester’s repertoire, or actually magic quality pixie dust?
• Is this the only real way of testing, or is there room for other forms of validation as well as verification?
• What are the origins of exploratory testing, and who actually invented the technique (as opposed to coining the current name)?
• Does it always degrade into an unmanageable, unaccountable, random bug hunt, or are there ways to instill order, measure coverage, and build confidence with it?

In this webinar, Rex will explore and burst some of the myths of exploratory testing.

Performance Testing Is Easy, Right?

Grab a tool, record a transaction with the server, ramp up a thousand virtual users… What do you often get? A hot mess!

Performance testing is likely the kind of testing most likely to be done poorly.  It does not have to be that way.

Join RBCS  to learn what performance testing is not: not easy, not guaranteed, but not impossible to do well.

Much of a good performance testing program is not about using the tool at all;

Instead it includes all of the ISTQB buzzwords:

• Static testing,
• Early testing,
• Planning and
• Preparation.

Learn the basics of successful performance testing and improve your performance test project.

Over the last few years, there have been major advancements in DevOps practices, including Kubernetes, DevSecOps, and public and private clouds.

We also have seen companies and organizations introduce DevOps principles at a growing scale, moving from small teams to enterprise-wide implementations.

On the technical side, the advancement has been remarkable, but there is a fundamental aspect many teams fail to consider: Is the move to a DevOps model reflected in business results? In a world dominated by revenue growth and ROI, is the investment in a technical and cultural shift worth the effort?

Join this web seminar to discover how successful DevOps implementation and execution have driven positive business results for companies and organizations of various sizes.

Learn:

1. The requirements to implement DevOps across a large organization
2. How successful DevOps programs are supported by the company’s leadership and culture
3. How a DevOps implementation can drive revenue and improve efficiency

The way we develop and deliver software has changed dramatically in the past five years, but the metrics we use to measure quality remain largely the same. Every other aspect of application delivery has been scrutinized and optimized as we transform our processes for DevOps.

Why not put quality metrics under the microscope as well?

To provide the software testing community with an objective perspective on which quality metrics are most critical for implementing DevOps, Tricentis commissioned Forrester to research the topic.

Forrester analyzed how DevOps leaders use and value 75 common quality metrics, then identified which metrics matter most for DevOps success.

This web seminar takes a deep dive into the findings from that research.

Get answers to your important questions, including:

1. Are “popular” quality metrics like number of automated tests, test case coverage, and pass/fail rate important in the context of DevOps?
2. What metrics can help you ensure that continuous updates don’t undermine the very user experience that you’re working so hard to enhance?
3. How do your team’s quality metrics rank? Do DevOps experts believe they’re overrated?
4. Are you among the select few taking advantage of “hidden gems”?
