TEST AUTOMATION SUMMIT | DUBAI – November 21, 2023

SPEAKERS

SUMIT PAL – Independent Consultant

DATA TESTING AND VALIDATION IN DATA ENGINEERING

  • Testing is still completely underrated in the data world. Still, almost all data developers shy away from testing.
  • Data teams don’t implement tests in the right places and data issues are caught by end-users
  • Data Tests not implemented in the right places

This session will show the audience the WHY, WHERE, and HOW to do data testing and validation before working on any data-driven project using AI and ML-infused emerging concepts and tools.

ADITYA GUTHEY – Communication and Influence Coach for Tech Leaders and Corporates, WhoWeAreSE

FUTURE-PROOFING IN THE ERA OF CHATGPT

As OpenAI races ahead, the following questions are on everyone’s mind:

  • How will the future landscape of testing technology evolve?
  • What skills will be in most demand?
  • Who gets to stay on the testing tech scene, and who is left behind?

Through the three-step evolution framework created by Aditya, learn how you can turn this testing technological revolution into an opportunity to stay ahead of the curve. Understand where the industry is headed and ensure you’re future-proof by hiring the right talent or becoming the right talent!

DEVTESTOPS

DevTestOps is a combination of Development, Testing, and Operations in the software development lifecycle, emphasizing collaboration and automation to streamline the process.

How to shift left the testing strategy and improve the continuous testing.

PRIYANKA AGRAWAL – Quality Assurance Manager, Almosafer

BACKEND TESTING: FROM CRADLE TO THE GRAVE

The shift from monolithic to microservices architecture has created greater complexity within the IT ecosystem than ever before.

This demands a paradigm shift in Quality engineering practices and has led to a greater focus on backend testing strategies.

We will talk about the strategies for backend testing in the areas of functional, regression, performance, system, and security testing.

This further extended to the production environments that can form robust monitoring solutions.

Look at popular tools in the market like Postman, Rest Assured & open API along with production monitoring tools like NewRelic & Runscope.

GREEN BUILDS, HIDDEN BUGS: UNPACKING TEST AUTOMATION ILLUSIONS

In the modern software development lifecycle, a green build is often hailed as the ultimate hallmark of success. But does it truly signify a bug-free, high-quality product? This session challenges prevailing notions, peeling back the layers of test automation to reveal potential blind spots and misconceptions. We’ll explore how an over-reliance on surface-level metrics can mask underlying issues, leaving critical bugs lurking undetected. By understanding these illusions, attendees will gain insights into optimizing their test automation strategies, ensuring that a green build is not just a facade but a genuine reflection of product robustness.

PERFORMANCE TESTING – SHIFT LEFT & SHIFT RIGHT

Right-shifting involves conducting testing, quality assessments, and performance evaluations in a production environment, subjecting systems to real-world conditions.

The left-shifting approach entails incorporating all testing requirements at the early stages of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), encompassing both functional and non-functional criteria.
