EMPOWERING SOFTWARE EXCELLENCE: ENHANCING COMPONENT QUALITY THROUGH INTERNAL DEVELOPER PORTALS

By the IEEE Standard Appendix of Software Engineering terminology quality is evaluated as, “The degree to which a system, component, or process meets specified requirements”.An individual software component is a software package, a web service, a web resource, or a module that encapsulates a set of related functions or data. Ownership of individual components is considered to be easier than running bulky tests to ensure the quality of a monolithic application before a release. Micro-services test automation has become popular because they offer a way to structure an application as a set of small services that can be developed, deployed, and managed independently. Each service is self-contained and has a specific responsibility. These services communicate with each other using well-defined APIs. This approach can help you build and deploy applications quickly and respond to changes in customer requirements.

However, this is easier said than done and lets face it, our working memory is limited. Researchers have found that learning a structure with many interaction components is more complex than learning a system with fewer interaction elements and requires more cognitive capacity to process . CLT, De Jong (De Jong, 2010) states that ‘cognitive load theory asserts that learning is hampered when working memory capacity is exceeded in a learning task’.

In the realm of software development, an elevation in cognitive load is directly linked to a decline in developer experience. Ever-increasing tools and technology choices in the last few years and changes in working practices such as DevOps have increased the cognitive load on software developers and SDETs. The question to be answered is ‘how can we improve an individual developers experience and improve software quality at the same time?’ This talk attempts to answer this question by focusing on ways organizations can use Internal developer portals to improve developer experience and accelerate product innovation.

ARE YOU READY? THE AI REVOLUTION DEMANDS A TESTING RENAISSANCE: EMBRACE THE POWER OR FACE EXTINCTION

The testing landscape is undergoing a seismic shift. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a distant future fantasy; it’s here, reshaping how we write tests, identify defects, and ensure software quality. But are you ready?

The AI revolution demands we shed our old skins and emerge as Supercharged Testers, wielding the power of AI alongside our critical thinking and human expertise.

In this session, you’ll discover:

• Key Seismic Shifts AI is bringing to testing, from intelligent test generation to automated defect analysis.
• Are You Robot Food? The essential skills that will differentiate future-proof testers from those left behind.
• From Automaton to Strategist: How to leverage AI to augment your thinking, not replace it.
• Beyond Automation: Unveiling the exciting new frontiers where human-AI collaboration unlocks true testing potential.
• Your Personalized Transformation Plan: Practical steps to upskill, adapt, and thrive in the AI-driven testing era.

This is not just about surviving the AI wave; it’s about riding it to the top. The future is unwritten, but the choice is yours: evolve or become obsolete. Are you ready?

ADDRESSING THE CHALLENGES OF COMPLEX END-TO-END SYSTEM TESTING

End-to-end testing can often be a painful and difficult to scale up because it requires multiple automation and testing tools, all of which need to integrate with each other. In this presentation we’ll dive further in the challenges of end-to-end testing and we can address them.

INTRODUCING CHAOS INTO PERFORMANCE TESTING: EMBRACING FAILURE

The combination of performance and chaos testing is a powerful concept that changes the application delivery landscape. Organizations learn that failure is not only expected but also embraced as a valuable resource that reveals application vulnerabilities that might otherwise remain hidden and become major incidents in production. In essence, organizations learn to embrace failure as it brings them closer to delivering robust and resilient applications that meet or exceed customer expectations.

THE FUTURE OF AI-DRIVEN TESTING

Session Abstract: AI is rapidly transforming the way technology gets built, delivered, and tested. Groundbreaking products like ChatGPT have become game changers in every industry, and quality assurance is no exception. As large language models (LLMs) and other AI technologies continue to evolve, they will transform the way we deliver virtually every application and technology: think web, mobile, desktop, packaged apps, and more. AI is the way of the future, and it’s coming fast – to transform how we work, strengthen our ingenuity, and improve our results. In this talk, Mark Towle, Solution Architect at Tricentis will share his perspectives on what’s on the horizon, as well as how embracing AI now can help your team boost productivity, efficiency, and accuracy – ultimately releasing better software, faster.

Key Objectives

• How emerging AI capabilities, from LLMs to autonomous AI, will transform the way you test
• Where the market for AI-augmented software delivery is headed, and what you need to know
• How Tricentis is pioneering in AI to help our customers master the law of tomorrow, today
