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

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.

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.

Presenter: Kevin Surace (LinkedIn profile) is CEO & CTO of Appvance.ai and has been awarded 84 patents worldwide. He led pioneering work on the first cellular data smartphone (AirCommunicator), the first plastic multichip semiconductor packages, the first human-like AI virtual assistant (Portico), soundproof drywall, high R-value windows, AI-driven building management technology, AI-driven QA automation, and the window/energy retrofits of the Empire State Building and NY Stock Exchange. Kevin has been featured by Businessweek, Time, Fortune, Forbes, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, FOX News, and has keynoted hundreds of events, from INC5000 to TED to the US Congress. He was INC Magazines’ Entrepreneur of the Year, a CNBC top Innovator of the Decade, World Economic Forum Tech Pioneer, Chair of Silicon Valley Forum,  featured for 5 years on TechTV’s Silicon Spin, and inducted into RIT’s Innovation Hall of Fame.

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

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.
