DevOps as a culture, movement and philosophy is leading to an increase in the practice of shifting testing to the right — towards production.

Many organizations now use continuous integration and delivery pipelines to make decisions about production readiness and, once the software is released, leverage real-time monitoring for detecting and debugging issues.

Testing in Production (TiP) has historically been the subject of great scrutiny due to its frequent association with insufficient pre-production testing.

However, when applied appropriately, TiP can be a highly effective means of validation and verification.

Unlike testing in a lab or staging environment, TiP provides feedback on system behavior using real user scenarios, data and configurations. Tariq King believes that the next-generation of test automation involves combining TiP with AI-driven testing techniques.

In other words, the machines of the future will learn how to test by training on information gathered from real users acting in production environments. Similarly, test scenarios will be executed in production environments to provide best effort simulations.

Join Tariq as he explains different approaches to TiP with AI, its key benefits and challenges, and how he envisions these technologies moving us towards a future where systems and services test themselves.

Presenter: Tariq King Bs Ms PhD (LinkedIn profile) is the Chief Scientist at test.ai, where he leads research and development of their core platform for AI-driven testing. Tariq has over 15+ years’ experience in software engineering and testing and has formerly held positions as Head of Quality, Director of Quality Engineering, Manager of Software Engineering and Test Architect.

How do you prove the benefits of introducing test automation within your organization? Or perhaps you already have test automation in place but aren’t completely satisfied with its results?

Codeless test automation is still relatively new to the market. The range of offerings is broad, and not all tools are equal in terms of their features. It’s crucial to know what to look for, and many software leaders are already achieving unprecedented results using the right tools in their company.

In this webinar, Artem will go through three ways to assess the ROI of implementing a no-code test automation tool. He will talk about the best metrics to track and walk you through one of our case studies.

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.

How should we measure the success of a test automation project: tests automated or bugs found? QA teams often struggle to balance resources to meet the testing requirements, to match the velocity of the dev team, and to certify the quality of the code.

In this webinar Kevin will show how AI-based testing fundamentally shifts not only how we test, but what we test.

By combining the domain knowledge of your experts with an expert-system AI, we’ll create an application-specific intelligence that can autonomously test your system without human oversight or assistance.

Now that you have the power to scale testing to any level, we can stop being testers and finally become quality assurers.

Join us to learn:

• How to focus on finding bugs not on how many tests we can automate
• That we can use artifacts in plain sight to train the AI on our business rules, validations, and behaviors
• There is deep metadata that the AI can exhibit which shows where the defect density is high, where performance is slow, and where the application is not being tested
• That the way we test will never be the same again.

In our last web seminar, Kevin discussed the value of measuring Application Coverage as a better success metric than Test Coverage.

In this web seminar, Kevin builds on this notion by providing a complete perspective on testing that positions your team, and your application, to maximize your impact.

Do you think that only engineers can create automated tests? It’s not true!

The old way of building automation consisted of:

1. Learn programming language
2. Slowly build some tests
3. Spend a lot of time on test maintenance

The new way in 2022 and beyond is to:

1. Quickly build test automation without programming
2. Spend almost no time on maintenance
3. Use BDD/copy-paste test cases to make them executable specifications

In this webinar, Artem will show you how to get started in only a few minutes! Our method focuses on testing from the user’s experience. After watching, you will know how to build automated tests more efficiently than QA Automation Engineers.

We will show you how you can use testRigor to write tests by:

• Using plain English
• Copy-pasting existing test cases using Reusable Rules

You’ll also learn:

1. Basics of test automation process, maintenance, and repeatability
2. Best practices with test data
3. Free tools to build tests AND run them in CI/CD
4. How to start building high-quality tests right now

For the last decade, there has been a great deal of hope that AI would revolutionize software testing.

This hope was codified in the six levels of autonomous testing first documented in 2017. But there has been fuzziness over what is truly implied at each level of autonomy, and uncertainty about what many solutions actually provide in the way of AI-augmented systems to support full autonomy.

Simple AI used in self-healing scripts, for example, is now commonplace and should be considered table stakes.

In this webinar, Kevin will discuss what it means to achieve true Level-5 autonomous testing, which is a transformational leap beyond what most vendors can deliver. Appvance.ai’s revolutionary Appvance IQ (AIQ) is architected to go far beyond where most organizations operate today.

Join Kevin & learn:

• How AI is used today to traverse your entire application to establish a baseline of all UI and API requests and responses, creating an AI Blueprint that documents every possible user flow through your system
• How AI is used today to automatically develop test scripts for every practical user path
• How AI leverages API production logs to create end-to-end tests based on how users actually interact with your application
• How you can achieve near 100% application coverage with limited effort

You’ll see results from an actual use case with an automotive e-commerce site with over 4 million items in inventory. Their initial Blueprint test run identified 110 bugs not found via the team’s traditional automated and manual testing.
