When coupled with a solid performance engineering discipline across the product lifecycle, continuous integration can result in a better user experience for web and mobile applications.

This web seminar digs deeply into continuous integration (CI) and the vital underlying test automation and build automation processes CI requires.

Dan Boutin explores the key factors that make or break CI in the real world, especially the flow among the “Big 3” CI processes: change management, configuration management, and release/build management.

Join this live web seminar for real-world insight on how SOASTA employed continuous integration and continuous testing to complete more than one hundred product releases last year.

Learn how continuous integration & testing will help you:

1.  Proactively find and fix defects early in the process
2. Increase team productivity with better tools and processes
3. Identify—and act on—essential build and test information
4. Deliver a much better user experience for web and mobile apps

Presenter: Dan Boutin (LinkedIn profile, @DanBoutinSOASTA) Senior Product Evangelist SOASTA, works externally to communicate SOASTA’s technical differentiation to solve problems. Dan also researches actual software development lifecycles, user experiences, and  how ITIL benefitsorganizations .

What If Your Testing Teams Could:

• Anticipate the impact of changes on test designs & your projects before software coding even starts?

Changing business needs, changing requirements, and changing agile development priorities are happening all the time, but the impact of these changes on testing is difficult to forecast, analyze, and manage.

Caught in the middle, testers and test teams must manage change with limited resources and ever-decreasing schedules.

You’ll learn how to:

1. Determine what is driving change and understand its impact on testing
2. Bring in testing practices to deal with dynamically changing requirements
3. Join this web seminar to learn how to connect test cases and test results to requirements and objectives.
4. Incorporate proactive techniques for building quality into software despite unrelenting change
5. Leverage your existing software tools ecosystem for managing change

As the project team develops the code to meet the authorized requirements, the newly built functionality must be verified to ensure it reflects the authorized requirements and satisfies the business need.

This can be accomplished by implementing the following integrated methodology deliverables:

• Project status report,
• Team status report,
• Issue definition,
• Risk definition,
• Change request,
• Unit test defect log(s),
• System integration test (SIT)
• Defect log(s),
• User acceptance (UT) defect log,
• Requirements traceability log

Learn how to each deliverable can be beneficial to your project.

You hear people talk about “coverage” a lot in testing, but what exactly do they mean?

• Three different people could mean three—or more—different things when they use this word.
• It’s not that those different meanings are wrong, they’re just—different.

Test coverage is a powerful and important topic, and it’s time we all got clear on what it means and how to use it.

In this webinar, Rex will explore the various dimensions of test coverage and how you can make those dimensions work for you on your next testing project.
