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.

Writing Better User Stories with Rommana ALM

For many years, project teams used user stories to describe functionality in agile projects. It is well established fact among agile teams that user stories in their standard format do not provide much details for developers to build the functionality or for tester to make sure the functionality is working as intended.

To overcome the brevity of user stories, project teams sometimes use acceptance criteria to add more details to a user story and to establish the boundaries of a user story.

Another approach that has proven to achieve good results is to write scenarios for user stories.

In this webinar, Dr. Hanna will share his experience using both acceptance criteria and scenarios. More specifically,

Dr. Hanna will discuss the following:

Presenter: Dr. Magdy Hanna PhD (LinkedIn profile) is a recognized educator, speaker and consultant in several areas of software engineering. His highly rated seminars in various topics over the last thirty-five years have spanned various aspects and capacities of software projects and processes.

He has trained over 50,000 professionals around the world over the last 20 years. As a professor of Software Engineering at the University of St. Thomas , he taught graduate courses on several software engineering topics with emphasis on practical software quality techniques.

Dr. Hanna developed new approaches and methods in software engineering including the Scenario-Based Development and Testing (SBDT), Requirement-Based Project Management (RBPM), Software Quality Engineering Methodology (SQEngineer), the Unified Data Model (UDM), and the Data-Driven Object Model ( DOM ). Dr. Hanna and his instructors conduct hundreds of free online webinars each year.

Dr. Hanna also served as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Software Test Professionals, a publication of IIST, now the Bug Free Zone.

Dr. Hanna is Founder, CEO, and Chairman of several organizations:

• International Institute for Software Testing,
  • leading educational and professional development organization that provides education-based certifications to software test and quality professionals around the world.
  • Dr. Hanna serves as the Chairman of Advisory Board for the Certified Software Test Professional (CSTP) and the Certified Test Manager (CTM) credentials.
• International Institute for Software Process
  • leading professional development organization that provides education-based certifications to software process improvement professionals around the world.
  • Dr. Hanna serves as the Chairman of Advisory Board for the International Software Process Improvement Certification (ISPIC).

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
