Topic Abstract

Samantha Laing, Agile Coach

Agile testing is about more than how to squeeze enough testing in on the last few days of the sprint. However so many teams have adopted agile and not yet changed the way they test. In this hands on tutorial we will look at how agile testing is different to traditional testing and introduce some simple techniques that everyone in the team can use, to change the way they think about testing. Testing will no longer be a phase at the end to break the system and find bugs, it will be an ongoing activity, involving everyone on the team, that constantly strives to build the best possible product by prevent bugs before a single line of code is written.

Michael Talks, Datacom, QA Manager

Sometimes it can seem that the strategy for testing is something written in stone, copied and pasted unchanged from one project to the next. A template where you just change a few names and dates, and it’s done!

The last decade has been a game changer for IT – from seeing new frameworks such as agile rise in dominance, to the very way we consume technical and data service radically change with the introduction of handheld devices.

Suddenly, “what we’ve always done” has it’s own risks, because what we’re doing now is nothing like what we’ve always done! Mike Talks will take you through some of the lures and the traps in test strategy.

Pushparajan Balasubramanian

Slow, complex and unreliable tests are difficult to write, automate and expensive to maintain. A testable smart architecture enables very fast and reliable tests that are easy to write, execute and maintain. In this session, the below will be covered

i) What is smart architecture?
ii) How artificial intelligence will be used for testing the software and supporting DevOps
iii) Benefits of Smart Architecture

Blaine Holt, Product Owner, Product Manager, EROAD, New Zealand

To create frictionless customer experiences, everyone needs to be aligned around the context and situation that your product and service will be an actor in. This session will highlight the power of bringing QA along the journey of customer discovery with Product, why your standard User Story is not enough, and the pitfalls we have discovered at EROAD when Product and QA are not on the same page.

Pramod Gupta, Datacom, STS Auckland

The ever increasing complexity of today’s software products and skyrocketing costs of software breakdown have pushed the need for testing to new heights. The pressure to deliver a high-quality software product continues to grow, shrinking test schedules, limited resources and demand from stakeholders to deliver more value with the lesser cost have been escalating every day. Software testing work must be optimized to deliver good business value. Test metrics are very effective tools and when used to measure and improve, provides valuable information to enable managerial decision making over entire software life cycle. Test Metrics provide reliable support for decision –making and risk assessment and mitigation. The presentation will discuss why there is reluctance to use test metrics in some organizations and how to overcome it? How can Test leaders help project stakeholders understand the business value of testing by providing simple and effective test metrics? What test metrics can be used to determine optimum test execution? What are the most favourite and effective test progress monitoring metrics for test managers? What all quantitative and qualitative test metrics can be used to help improving efficiency and effectiveness of test process? It will also discuss some winning test metrics model to support management decisions, forecasts and trade-offs during the software life cycle.

Akanksha Singh, Test Consultant, Planit Software Testing

This talk will explain how applying Edward de Bono’s six thinking hats principles to exploratory testing can work wonders and empower testers by inspiring confidence in them with better test coverage.

Karthik KK, Founder, Execute Automation

This topic discusses on the various aspect of automating mobile Native and Hybrid applications like Ionic and Xamarin for Windows and MacOS in both Android and iOS devices. The intention of this topic is to automate application with  Same code base  One language (C#)  Supporting multiple platforms  Supporting multiple cloud-based solutions  Supporting both real and emulated devices The topic also covers the working code of how to write automation testing core base library to support multiple technologies like  Web  Mobile Hybrid  Mobile Native  Web services Current Challenge The current challenge of mobile automation testing world is disparity of languages used between different technology stacks since company uses ASP.Net for developing web application and Ionic/Xamarin application for mobile applications and automating these different application stacks with different languages will become nightmare over time as people relay on one technology stack not with diverse as the maintenance of code in course of time will become cumbersome. Solution To overcome the problem posed in the current challenge, we will cover in this topic/speech.

Kunal Gupta, Quality Assurance Consultant, Testingmind

During this session learn about the various QA assessment models and understand How to measure the maturity of a Software Testing process ? and Why it is important to benchmark and revisit maturity quantitatively ? The session will also make the audience aware of the methodology and measuring techniques used in the well known frameworks used for assessing the maturity. The quantified data helps the management to take right decisions and remove impediments for a smooth QA practice setup within the module / project / enterprise. Know about the TMMi , TPi and other well known assessment models and their usage in traditional and Agile testing practices. The usage of frameworks will help to strategies the People, Process, Tools and Technology aspect in Software QA.
