Continuous integration is a software practice that testers and developers use to integrate and test applications as soon as code is added to the code base.

When deployed in mobile development, this approach can automate the deployment of builds for testing and the testing process independent of the engineering team.

This web seminar demonstrates how organizations can incorporate continuous integration into their own QA processes to streamline testing requirements and accelerate time to market for their mobile apps.

You’ll learn the best ways to get started without disrupting existing test and QA efforts.

You will learn how to:

• Manage testing multiple code bases
• Automate deployment of builds to cloud-based mobile devices
• Automate tests using existing test frameworks to make QA independent of engineering
• Implement reporting to deliver continuous results information

Presenter: Harshal Vora Senior Solutions Engineer InfoStretch,  has years experience planning, executing, &delivering on-time, quality, end-to-end solutions in mobile development.With roles such as automation engineer, BA, technical project manager, and QA manager he used weight-based analysis around QA metrics and measurements,  significantly improving test coverage, test efficiency, and customer satisfaction for projects and application releases.

Even though we’re seven years into the “mobile revolution,” companies have various approaches to mobile testing, and many are still trying to figure it out.

If you look at highly effective mobile testing programs, you’ll find testing happening earlier in the process and often integrated with open source frameworks and tools.

You see greater collaboration between dev and QA in mobile project teams, and you see QA professionals dedicated to the special requirements of mobile.

In this interactive webinar you will learn how to:

1. Move to continuous integration in mobile release cycles
2. Apply test automation to the mobile application environment
3. Prioritize the steps to take in your journey toward better mobile quality
4. Create process harmony between development and QA teams
5. Prepare for the demands of mobile form factors yet to be imagined

Join this Keynote-sponsored web seminar to discover new techniques for speeding up testing by removing barriers—to collaboration, to coverage, to builds, and to change.

Mark Twain once wrote, “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.”

In logic, that thing you know that just ain’t so is called a fallacy.

Fallacies abound in software testing, and risk-based testing especially suffers from a number of misconceptions.

Are you laboring under such delusions?

If so, what damage is that doing to your ability to implement the most effective and efficient way to manage the risk to the quality of your software and systems?

In this free webinar, Rex will identify and dispel these fallacies, and take your questions about risk-based testing fallacies that are affecting you.

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.

With the myriad of mobile devices, operating systems, and networks in the marketplace today and the influx of BYOD workplaces, mobile testing is a daunting task.

If functional and performance testing priorities and objectives are not fully aligned with your end-user expectations and business risks, the result can be a very public failure.

Join mobility specialists Antoine Aymer (HP) (LinkedIn profile) and Ron Anderson (VIP) (LinkedIn profile) to examine critical use cases for understanding the role of user expectations.

You’ll leave this session with a keen understanding of mobile application testing proven practices and real-world examples of what to do right—and what to avoid.

Key takeaways include how to:

1. Ensure an end-to-end user experience that delivers five-star quality for mobile apps
2. Incorporate best practices into mobile functional and performance testing
3. Account for numerous devices, operating systems, and networks
4. Test according to application store requirements—Apple, Google Play, etc.

The Test Maturity Model integration (TMMi) is the de-facto standard for test improvement and assessment.

DCG, along with their partner, Experimentus, an IT solutions and services company that specializes in software quality management, has been collecting organizational self-assessment data using an online interactive testing survey.

This webinar will showcase the collected survey data from 2014 to provide a view into how firms are progressing through TMMi Maturity Level Three.

The results of the survey provide a profile of the level of capability found in a typical testing organization, areas of the model that tend to give respondents the most trouble and a general pattern of progression.
