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

Test strategy often may start out fine, but it can easily veer off course when you get new direction or encounter problems. Get back to the fundamentals by revisiting test strategy and planning. Sometimes, a reset is needed to start heading back in the right direction.

In this webinar, Priyanka & Shawn will start by discussing the side effects of growing your test automation portfolio without proper strategy and guidelines.

Next, they’ll cover best practices for ensuring project success, both now and as you scale your project.

They will also review principles for architecting cleaner tests to minimize maintenance and maximize reuse.

Finally, they will discuss tips for organizing your tests and suites so your team scales efficiently.

What you’ll learn:

1. Test strategy and design tips to maximize the use of your resources
2. How to architect tests to reduce long term maintenance
3. Tools to help establish trust in your tests and project
4. How to keep a growing QA team productive

Most testing teams are automating testing today, yet average enterprise test automation rates hover around 20%.

Beyond the test automation skills gap, many organizations struggle with common roadblocks, including managing test automation across different tools and frameworks, lost efficiency due to duplicated efforts, and a lack of visibility that makes it difficult to decide where to focus automation efforts.

In this webinar, Tim Warr (LinkedIn profile) Product Manager, Tricentis & Kathryn Hsu Product Marketing Manager, Tricentis  & Simona Domazetoska (LinkedIn profile) Product Marketing Manager, Tricentis;  share a two-pronged approach for overcoming these roadblocks so you can build a long-term, sustainable strategy for scaling test automation and will demonstrate how you can achieve it.

Learn about the best practices of:

1. Sharing test assets across projects and teams
2. Centralizing test automation management across tools and frameworks
3. Improving visibility across all testing efforts so you can make strategic decisions about what to automate
4. Reducing the maintenance burden with a codeless, resilient approach to regression testing

The Journey To Quality Engineering

Trends such as the migration to the Cloud, transition to DevOps, and growing customer expectations have put a spotlight on QA teams.

However, the traditional approach to quality assurance silos teams and slows down product velocity. To continue delivering quality software quickly, we as an industry need to adjust our approach to testing by practicing quality engineering. But, how do we get there?

In this webinar Juliette, Product Manager at mabl, will share:

1. The industry trends – from DevOps adoption to CX – shaping your approach to quality
2. How quality engineering differs from quality assurance
3. How intelligent, low-code test automation can support your quality goals

You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of quality engineering, how organizations are beginning to adopt this practice, and learn tips on how to start implementing QE in your organization.

Presenter:  Juliette MacPhail Product Manager, mabl  is a Product Manager at mabl, where she spends her time working on a low-code platform for simplifying test automation and helping teams ship high-quality software. She assists in the understanding core challenges in the test automation space and enabling the transition to quality engineering. An active member of mabl’s DEI committee, she spends her spare time on initiatives related to accessibility, inclusivity, and mental health in the workplace.

Testing too often gets no respect-too little time, too few resources, and increasingly omission from projects. It may be hard to admit, but these all signal your testing process is perceived as failing to deliver needed value. The key to gaining the respect you crave is to manage your testing process proactively so it cost-effectively produces results that everyone recognizes as valuable.

Learn to:

• Identify your REAL testing process and why managing it matters
• Identify keys to improving the value your testing produces
• Make it work in Agile projects, even ones without “testers”

Presenter: Robin Goldsmith (LinkedIn profile) author of Discovering Real Business Requirements for Software Project Success,  advises & trains business and systems professional on risk-based Proactive Software Quality Assurance and Testing™, requirements, REAL ROI™, metrics, outsourcing, project and process management.Robin is a subject expert for TechTarget’s SearchSoftwareQuality.com and a subject expert/reviewer for the IIBA Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK v2).  Robin  writes the Unconventional Wisdom blog on TestHuddle.com and is publishing his next book shortly – Cut Creep—Put Business Back in Business Analysis to Discover REAL Business Requirements for Agile, ATDD, and Other Project Success.
