AUTOMATED TESTING OF USER EXPERIENCE IN A STARTUP BUILD

Incorporating user feedback and testing is critical in any product build, especially in startups and innovation projects, but not easy to achieve consistently in agile environments. Setting up continuous user experience automatic testing practices through the build allows us to integrate user feedback in the design process and team dynamics consistently and maximize benefits while keeping the effort manageable.

AI & TESTING – FRIEND OR FOE

If you have not been living under a rock in the last 6 months, you have heard about the wonders and dangers of the rapidly evolving AI tools – ChatGPT being the most popular. Along with the hype for these tools, there are also a lot of lists – jobs that will be impacted by AI, new careers you should pick to leverage AI, and on and on… So what is really happening? Should we all retrain to be lumberjacks, farmers, and electricians since we are going to be made obsolete in the next 5 years? This talk looks at the nature of generative AI tools and evaluates the threat landscape to various aspects of testing as a profession within the broader context of software delivery. We look at what parts of our profession may be threatened by these tools, and also how we may leverage the tools to improve testing outcomes by orders of magnitude.

MY JOURNEY OF SHIFTING LEFT WITH API TESTING AND AUTOMATION

  • Why API automation is important for shifting left and how can you achieve this
  • How can you make the best use of API automation to increase the coverage of the automation testing in a faster way
  • API automation can help you write hybrid tests which are faster to run and less expensive than pure UI tests
  • Different tools and frameworks that I have used for API test automation
  • Testing rest API and graph ql

WEB3 IN ACTION: CREATING AND DEPLOYING A TOKEN ON A TEST NETWORK

The presentation is a comprehensive guide to blockchain and Web3, with a focus on the importance of testing and audits in the world of smart contract platforms such as Ethereum and Polygon. The presentation covers the basics of blockchain and Web3 and introduces the audience to the concept of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps).

The presentation then goes on to discuss test networks and how they can be used to create test tokens, with a practical demonstration of the process. The importance of audits is also covered, highlighting the crucial role they play in ensuring the security and reliability of smart contracts.

One of the key highlights of the presentation is a discussion of scams and how to spot them. The presentation provides tips on how to identify and avoid scam tokens, such as checking contract addresses and looking for red flags.

Finally, the presentation concludes by addressing the issue of what happens when a bug is found in a smart contract that has already been deployed to the production network.

ZERO TO LOAD TESTING IN 3 SECONDS IN MICROSOFT AZURE

Have you been in a situation where your application works perfectly until it gets deployed and then it doesn’t? All those hours you spent on making the app look nice and easy to use to find out no one can use it in the first place because the server hosting it can’t handle those many requests.

In this talk, we are talking about Azure Load Testing which has made developers’ jobs much easier and can get them up to speed in a matter of minutes. They can easily create high-scale load tests which will reveal actionable insights into their app’s performance.

We will not only cover what it takes to create those tests but also how easy it is to run them in a fully managed cloud environment and even better how to integrate it into their CI/CD pipelines. And the bonus point is, since it supports JMeter scripts, anyone using them can migrate to this with little to no effort. So come along and let’s have some fun, shall we?
