Automating In-Sprint Test Cases

We live in an agile world where everything evolves at a breakneck speed. Organizations across the globe are becoming more competitive every day, and this pressure is trickling down to the end-to-end chain of software product engineering that elongates with strategizing, and requirement gathering, to quality assurance.

In these dynamic conditions, QA teams are expected to keep up with the development pace. This is where in-sprint test automation comes into play. It is used to automate test cases that were required to be delivered in the previous sprint as well as the current sprint.

Within a single sprint, in-sprint automation combines various functions and accelerates the overall testing process.

Moving from manual to in-sprint, on the other hand, may not be an easy decision. Tracking bugs and/or defects may derail the development process and incur a higher cost if not resolved at the right time.

In this webinar, Tushar Das (LinkedIn profile) and Balbodh Jha (LinkedIn profile) will share their experience with in-sprint test automation and how to implement it successfully, as well as introduce DevOps into in-sprint automation, which will eventually help project teams to bridge the gap between shift-left and shift-right approaches into a more comprehensive strategy for blazing-fast continuous project deliveries.

This webinar will cover the following:

• How a codeless approach would help QA teams create test cases faster and test data automatically
• How codeless platforms are individual components that stitch together end-to-end delivery platforms/frameworks
• How codeless tools enable AI/ML to reduce maintenance issues for effective script execution and defect prevention and prediction
• How applying and integrating advanced DevOps practices are made easy by codeless platforms

This session will help QA teams learn how automating in-sprint test cases can fast-track their deliveries with the help of DevOps. And teams will learn how they can build regression packs that maximize the test coverage.

Data shows that only 30% of end-to-end tests are automated in 2022.

But why?

In this webinar, Artem will go through the challenges that companies face when they attempt to automate manual testing. He will discuss the reasons why automating more than 30% is not possible with legacy technologies such as Selenium for the majority of companies.

Join Artem & learn how testRigor solves these challenges, including how to:

In this interactive webinar you will:

1. Allow manual testers to build tests using plain English
2. Build tests purely from the end-user’s perspective, without reliance on details of implementation
3. Achieve maximum test 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.

The world wants more and more automation. If you’re taking your first steps in the automation cosmos, you’re bombarded with whole new concepts and terms, like Git and Docker, and you’re not sure if they even relate to testing. Isn’t automation itself hard enough?

In this session, I’m going to run through a few of the main concepts and tools we’re using in a team that automates their development and testing. But more than that, I’m going to explain why we need them, and how they fit into the goal of releasing quality product.

This is a quick run of terms and concepts you are going to bump into. Learn what’s the difference between CI and CD, how code and tests get built and deployed, and how different testing activities fit into the modern release cycle.

Test Automation is not just a task. It is part of a whole development model you need to understand. It’s a strange new world, and you want to go in speaking the language.
I’ve got the cheat sheet.

How Far Left Can You Go?

Applications built on microservices require a different approach to testing – but they also provide an opportunity to shift testing even further left.

There are several things that developers and testers can do prior to deployment to validate that new features are safe to deploy into the integrated environment.

By working together to shift more testing to the feature level, they can reduce the amount of API and functional testing that’s required and improve test coverage across the board.

This webinar, willl share a few strategies for shifting more testing to the feature level that can save time down the road

Learn About:

• Early-stage prototyping and mocking using code-level simulations
• Deploying simulation as a part of the build process
• Integrating contract testing to ensure API changes don’t break your application
• Deploying mocks and contracts as a part of the DevOps process
