This session is about how proper use of acceptance testing can avoid many problems instead of merely finding them at the end.

It redefines the role of QA to one of avoiding errors and improving our system of development.

Acceptance test-driven development is the process of having customers, developers and testers all talk about the requirements before any coding is done.

By answering the question “how will I know I’ve done that” for each requirement, prior to it being developed, both a greater understanding of the requirement can be achieved and a better process to implement that requirement can be attained.

Outline:

• Why answering questions about requirements will never get you the answers you need
• How creating test specifications increases developers understanding of requirements
• Why writing tests first speed you up in the short term while saving time in the long run

Active apps demand constant care. The environment is perpetually in flux, and changes can adversely affect how an app works on end-users’ devices. To meet or exceed user expectations, developers and testers must continuously enhance their testing practices.

In this web seminar, the authors of The Mobile Analytics Playbook will share insights on how mobile analytics can help testers, developers, and designers improve their mobile application testing.

You’ll learn six techniques to:

1. Improve release velocity without compromising quality
2. Bridge the gap between analytics, feedback, and testing
3. Overcome the “long-tail” problem of mobile OS and device fragmentation
4. Become proactive in creating a better user experience

The Internet of Things is starting to drive everything from wearable household consumer goods and medical tech, to automotive safety and entertainment—and enterprise businesses are not far behind.

All of these products have three things in common:

1. Internet connection,
2. Embedded software/sensors, and …
3. Major quality risks – many must interconnect with mobile devices and apps.

Although IoT/embedded systems testing has much in common with application testing, there are key differences you need to understand.

Embedded testing is now a key player in all things produced for enterprise and industrial IoT as product development continues to accelerate with the risk of compromising quality versus lightning speed releases.

Join this web seminar to learn how product reliability, continuity across devices/Internet services/hardware/platforms, and security are all risks that you need understand and properly mitigate so that quality isn’t compromised.

You’ll also learn:

• The differences between embedded systems testing and traditional software testing
• New challenges for testing teams and why software quality has never been so important
• The test practices and techniques that work best for IoT and embedded systems
• Which test tools are best for embedded systems

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.

Presenter: Rex Black (Amazon profile) is President of RBCS, a leader in software, hardware, and systems testing. RBCS employs the industry’s most experienced and recognized consultants, RBCS conducts product testing, builds and improves testing groups and hires testing staff for hundreds of clients worldwide.

In today’s mobile-first world, your application has one shot to impress. Less than 16 percent of those who have a poor experience with an app will ever give it another chance.

To succeed, you must build quality into every stage of the mobile app development process.

In this interactive webinar you will learn how to:

1. Test at all stages of your development process, including unit testing, build acceptance testing, regression testing, negative tests, and exploratory testing
2. Design your test strategy with optimal device selection and remote-control capability
3. Use a cloud-based mobile testing tool with automated and manual tests to improve agile processes
4. Integrate quality with development and deployment tools

Join this live web seminar to learn how to build an end-to-end agile test strategy for your mobile app.
