OVERCOMING THE CHALLENGES OF AUTOMATED TESTING AN SDK WITHOUT A UI (Co-Presenting with Regeena Massa)
Product companies create SDKs to give developers the resources they require to construct integrations and applications with their products. Due to the lack of a user interface, it can be challenging for QA to validate the performance of the developed SDKs. During the session, let’s delve deeper into this issue and explore how automation can be utilized for testing purposes.

AUTOMATION – WE’RE DOING IT WRONG
There are many misconceptions and perceptions around automation as it pertains to software testing, so in this talk, we will discuss those and set the record straight on what automation is and, more importantly, what it is NOT.

IN-SPRINT TEST AUTOMATION – DELIVER EARLY FOR MAXIMUM VALUE
Delivering test automation in-sprint – before the developers finish writing the code – delivers far more value than test automation delivered later. Delivering in-sprint lets the developers run all of the tests before they open a pull request, so they find and fix the bugs before QA ever gets the code. This is a win-win-win – it significantly improves developer and QA efficiency and delivers new features faster with fewer bugs, making the product owner and the customers happier too!

WHY NOT LET YOUR DEVELOPERS WRITE THE TESTS?
To adopt the culture of shift left testing and the micro-service world, it doesn’t make too much sense when a software engineer writes his code but lets someone else write the test to make sure nothing breaks. Why not let your developers write the tests? Unit tests, Integration tests, or even End to End tests. You should empower your developers to write the tests and take ownership of the quality of their pull requests!
