The past few years have brought a sea change in the way applications are architected, developed, and consumed—increasing both the complexity of testing and the business impact of software failures.

How can software testing professionals keep pace with modern application delivery, given the trends that impact both architectures (cloud, microservices, and APIs) and processes (DevOps, agile, and continuous delivery)? This is where continuous testing comes in.

Join this web seminar to discover why and how continuous testing is different from traditional test automation.

Learn:

• The three main differences between continuous testing and test automation
• Where traditional test automation falls short in modern development and delivery processes
• How testers can address each of the three key elements of continuous testing
• How to integrate various testing practices (including model-based testing, risk-based testing, change-based testing, and exploratory testing) in order to achieve the speed and agility required for release

A critical challenge in transitioning to continuous integration (CI) and continuous development (CD) is creating a flexible testing environment that moves the focus from test support teams to IT infrastructure, DevOps, and automation tools.

Legacy tools meant to manually run load tests won’t cut it alone—you need a solution to automate and scale your testing process.

Join this web seminar to learn how a multi-billion dollar financial organization created a net savings of more than 500 man hours of testing and scripting per year using agile performance testing with CI/CD and application performance management (APM).

Gain new insights into how shifting your testing focus can improve development speed, costs, and quality.

Learn:

• The importance of automation and continuous load testing
• How to integrate CI/CD into your test environment
