Whether your project is agile or not, it is critical that you practice good requirement and/or user story management.

Requirements and user stories do not just exist by themselves. Instead, they are linked to other artifacts such as test cases and test sets, scenarios and/or acceptance criteria, code and design components, tasks, risks, and actions.

Requirements and user stories also change during the course of a project and over the lifecycle of an application. Some requirements or user stories originate from user requests, some evolve from bug reports or issues, and some are even enhancements to existing functionalities.

A good requirement/user story management tool must support all these aspects of features.

In this webinar Magdy will demonstrate how the requirement / user story component of Rommana ALM supports all these aspects and more. The intent is to help you understand true requirement and user story management so that you can make an informed decision regarding tool selection and tool adoption.

If you are already using a tool to manage your requirements and/or user stories, this webinar should help you customize your tool to support all these aspects.

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.
