• What should testing accomplish and how do we recognize success?
• How should we approach testing?
• What specific activities need to be planned for each release, each project, each iteration?
• What risks can affect testing, and how can we manage those risks?
• How does lifecycle affect these documents?

These are critical questions for testers and test managers, yet often they go unanswered or have answers that aren’t fully thought through.

As products and organizations mature, testing and QA become more critical to the overall success of a business. The ideal QA strategy should be fast, reliable, and fit right into a modern continuous integration pipeline. This leads many technical leaders to conclude that everything should be automated.

In reality, not everything can, or should, be automated. Leaders must make difficult, high-impact decisions on behalf of their teams by asking: What should be automated? When should investments in automation be made? Is automation the most cost-effective solution to delivering quality?

Join this web seminar to learn:

1. How to mitigate risk and create a plan to proactively manage the biggest automated testing threatsHow to deliver working solutions to customers quickly to achieve business objectives in a crowded market
2. Ways to identify gaps in your current testing strategy and address them with solutions that complement CI/CD practices
3. How to deliver working solutions to customers quickly to achieve business objectives in a crowded market

There is no doubt that a solid unit testing practice is fundamental for building a successful testing strategy, but organizations struggle to effectively adopt and scale unit testing.

Stymied by the effort, specialized skills, and time required to create, scale, and maintain an effective unit testing practice, many end up with gaps in coverage and release code with more risk than desirable.

To tear down the barriers to unit testing, organizations can leverage technology that guides users through process, performing the tedious aspects of creating and maintaining meaningful test cases.

With Parasoft Jtest’s Unit Test Assistant for Java, developers can create, assess, and enhance unit tests with the help of automated tooling, reducing the amount of time and skill required to create and maintain effective test suites.

In this webinar, Mark Lambert & Kapil Bhandari discuss the challenges of unit testing and show you how to leverage new technology to effectively scale the practice across the organization.

You will learn how to:

• Maximize your unit testing ROI and reduce unit testing overhead by at least 50%
• Implement a scalable and maintainable suite of JUnit test cases leveraging Mockito and PowerMock
• Leverage guided unit test creation technology for better and more meaningful code coverage numbers
• Accelerate unit testing and developer productivity with change-based testing

Presenters:

Kapil Bhandari (LinkedIn profile) Parasoft Product Manager

Mark Lambert (LinkedIn profile) Vice President of Products Parasoft, is responsible for delivering real value to the organizations adopting them. Mark leads a professional team that helps customers optimize their software development processes by applying technologies and methodologies to achieve their goals.
