Pull requests have become the No. 1 undiagnosed bottleneck in engineering—and we have the data to prove it. After analyzing 1,000,000 pull requests, LinearB has uncovered CI/CD’s greatest weakness and—thankfully—a eureka moment that will forever change the developer experience: Continuous Merge.

Here’s the dirty little secret: not all PRs are created equal. They don’t all need the same level of effort, and some of them don’t need any human intervention at all—it’s just a matter of using data and context to know which is which, and creating intelligent automation workflows to handle PRs appropriately.

In this session, Luke  will dive deep into how to change your processes so your team can adopt Continuous Merge and other practices in order to merge and release faster, with higher quality.

Presenter: Luke Kilpatrick (LinkedIn profile) Director of Developer Experience  started as web developer in 1996, transitioning to building developer programs in 2010 with VMware. Luke has managed and spoken at developer events around the world with highlights being Atlassian Appweek, Nutanix .NEXT, DevRelCon and Data’s Future Developer Summit.

The expertise of testers has evolved into a new strategic role, as QA and QE become responsible for ensuring users have an excellent experience and that new features are integrated seamlessly.

As more teams adopt fast-paced delivery processes, testers are becoming even more critical as quality coaches.

In this workshop,  Kirsten Vonck (LinkedIn profile) & Sarah Geisinger (LinkedIn profile) will discuss the ways quality can be embedded in your organization, and build a plan to suit your own organization.

If your team is navigating cultural change or is adopting processes like DevOps, this workshop will help you develop the steps to build a culture of quality on your team.

In this interactive webinar you will:

1. Learn industry trends that are driving change in the way we approach quality
2. Explore how their teams, processes, and technologies impact culture
3. Build an action plan that suits your organization

Sometimes Excel, as a test management tool, seems to be the most cost-effective and simplest solution for your needs.

However, what happens when you have many environments to test against and the test case needs to be updated? How do you keep up with the ever-expanding number of environments to test while keeping the simplicity of Excel?

Join this session to learn how to streamline and optimize testing coverage while quickly executing tests both manually and via auto testing tools.

Dr. Tieren Zhou, Ph.D (LinkedIn profile) will provide models to achieve complete testing coverage with expansive numbers of environmental variables and permutations thereof.

Tieren will introduce two models in defining a test release coverage plan: Permutation vs. Street. With the permutation model, test cases can be defined and tested against a set of environmental variables where selected choices for the variables are permutated.

Tieren will also explain the value of the multidimensional street model. It is used for extreme flexibility and ease of operation, but unlike Excel, it is scalable and won’t require much maintenance.

Learn how TechExcel can assist you in building a foundation for more efficient, sustainable, and scalable testing by:

1. Organizing test assets in a centralized location
2. Reusing test assets for unlimited variations and combinations of environments
3. Standardizing processes for planning release and cycles to ensure product quality
4. Running metrics to not only measure product quality but quality prediction

If your automated test coverage is lower than you would like, you’re not alone. The industry average for end-to-end test coverage in 2022 is under 30%.

In this webinar, Artem will discuss the factors preventing the majority of companies from reaching desired test coverage.

Many companies have all of their resources completely bogged down in test maintenance. The maintenance on tests grows so quickly that at 350 tests, a full-time Engineer’s time is consumed to just maintain the tests.

This is the main reason why companies can’t achieve 100% test automation.

In this webinar, Artem Golubev will talk about the solution that latest no-code tool market trends including record-and-playback tools and completely codeless solutions provide.

The idea behind no-code or codeless automation is to require no prior coding experience. That means that any QA person or even any team member without an engineering background should be able to create and execute tests to validate business logic.

You will also learn how the latest technology available can shift how you create and maintain automated tests and help you easily reach your desired automation coverage.

Presenter: Artem Golubev (LinkedIn profile) CEO, testRigor is a co-founder of testRigor started his career 25+ years ago by building software for logistics companies. Since then he worked at companies like Microsoft and Salesforce where he learned about best practices and top technologies in QA.  His recent company testRigor graduated from Y Combinator, the top company accelerator, received a $5.2M investment from Silicon Valley VCs, grew 9X over the last 12 months acquiring customers like Netflix and IDT helping them to reduce the amount of test maintenance 200X and achieve their automation goals within months.

Throughout the testing industry, there is a fair amount of discussion about the reusability of automated test scripts. But that discussion is usually centered around how widely you can reuse scripts for functional testing after new code changes.

What about reusing test scripts across a wider array of testing
needs? Don’t you need to deploy specific point solutions to handle other types of tests?

In this webinar, Amanda Burma (LinkedIn profile) will show how creating tests once can provide you with four opportunities to use the same test assets, thereby increasing your efficiency fourfold.

You’ll learn how functional test scripts created using Appvance IQ (AIQ) can easily be redeployed for load testing, performance testing, and even security testing needs, eliminating the need for distinct point solutions in your testing toolset.

Join Amanda to see a demonstration of:

• AI-generated and codeless test scripts created for functional testing
• Simple repurposing of the scripts and deployment of them for load testing, performance testing, and security testing
• Test results generated through this highly efficient process

The pandemic changed how we live, work, and interact. And while we are happy to leave some of those changes behind as the world opens, some lessons are here to stay.

As we adjusted to changing work environments, we learned how to work with teams when we couldn’t be with them in person. We also learned what our co-workers’ families look like. In application quality—we learned how to work differently and still get the job done.

In this webinar, Eran Kinsbruner (Chief Evangelist Test Automation Products) and Steve Borielllo (Senior Engineering Services Architect) will discuss the top five things we learned working with leading global
companies throughout the pandemic. These tales from the field (and home offices) are not to be missed!

Eran will cover:

• Criticality of digital channels
• Remote testing and cloud services
• Testing tool choices to facilitate cross-team collaboration
• Contingency planning / Working through the unexpected
• Adjusting as you learn new information

Presenter: Eran Kinsbruner (LinkedIn profile) Mobile Technical Evangelist Perfecto,  and author of The Digital Quality Handbook: Guide for Achieving Continuous Quality in a DevOps Reality; & Continuous Testing for DevOps Professionals: A Practical Guide From Industry Experts has extensive experience in the mobile testing market. Prior to Perfecto, he was the mobile testing CTO at Texas Instruments and project manager at Matrix, and he co-invented a test-exclusion automated mechanism for mobile J2ME testing at Sun Microsystems.
