Topic Abstract
Joshua Arvin Lat, Chief Technology Officer, Complete Business Online
Transforming a company’s existing set of processes, strategies, and tools when dealing with different performance issues will always be a challenge. This talk focuses on how to successfully standardise and implement different performance engineering strategies to your company. We will start by presenting the challenges that businesses experience then we will present different solutions on how to approach and deal with these challenges and needs.
Hector Hernandez, Test Solutions Architect, Willis Towers Watson
To often we find out that our application’s performance has issues when we are about to release to production. In this talk, I plan to go through the process, techniques and tools WTW uses to continuously monitor the performance of our solution under varying user load with the goal of getting system performance feedback as early in the sprint as possible. I will also be touching on the stakeholders and key roles necessary for this effort.
Korina Monoso, AVP / Head, IT Operations, Maynilad Water Services Inc
As with any organization, reliability and exhaustiveness are the key challenges in testing. In the case of Maynilad where applications are tightly integrated, the conduct of testing is made more complex as one change has the possibility of impacting many other applications and processes. Thus, Maynilad has developed a practical methodology in testing starting with risk and integration assessment so as to determine the scope of testing and the effort needed to test, and then based on a defined criteria, it is determined whether the testing is to be executed manually or through automation. A deep-dive presentation into this methodology will be made, using actual case studies for changes made within and integrated into SAP ERP. Korina has been in the IT industry for 15 years, with extensive exposure in business process analysis, system development life cycle, IT operations and service management, and IT project management. She has been the IT Operations Head of Maynilad for three (3) years now, Korina will share her experience and expertise in her talk on Testing of Highly Integrated Application.
John Forrest Go,Quality Assurance Manager, Mynt (Globe Fintech Solutions)
One of the biggest debates for relatively new Agile teams is wondering how Test Automation fits into their development process. Oftentimes, building and maintaining a test automation suite require a lot of overhead that it seems to make more sense to run test scenarios manually. Integrating Test Automation to a Continuous Development process allow for instant risk feedback per build and easier collaboration and maintenance through the use of a centralized repository. This talk aims to help step up your automation game by showing the benefits of integrating your test automation framework with a Continuous Integration server. John Started out as an application support engineer before transitioning to Software QA as one of the pioneers of the company’s Test Center of Excellence. Worked with several enterprise (HP QTP/QC, Worksoft Certify, TestComplete) automated testing solutions and open-source frameworks (Selenium, Robot Framework) to implement customized testing solutions and standards. Now working with budding Agile teams to incorporate Test Automation into their Continuous Integration development processes.
James Marvin Yu, Test Solution Architect, Willis Towers Watson
As many companies continue to embrace automation, it’s easy to fall into the trap of doing automation for the sake of automating. In this topic, the speaker will share the best practices being done in Willis Towers Watson to evaluate the effectiveness of our test automation frameworks, including QA automation processes applicable to Agile environment such as in-sprint automation, concepts like Test Automation Canvas, and continuous integration.
Ma. Emelita Reyes ( Mei ), Test Manager, AXA Shared Services Centre
In this session the learnings and best practices will be shared as how one as a Test Manager or a Test lead can guide the team to get the best out of the team through process improvements and implementation. What are the challenges faced during moving a QA team from Waterfall mindset to Agile ?, What needs to be considered during Resource utilization, selection of tools (open source vs paid) ? and How to make an effective reporting dashboard to ensure the QA activities and progress get the right visibility having right values ? This will help in continuous feedback from QA which will ensure that the QA team adds more Business Value to the product under development.
Charles A. Merioles, CIO, Duty Free Philippines Corporation
Join this session to know how volumes of data can be generated, utilized and maintained for testing application with real kind (but not actual data). With enormous application and digital technologies enormous data are being generated. To test the robustness of the application, its required that the application undergoes load and stress testing with right set of data. The talk will focus one
(i) How do we generate enormous amount of data for application testing prospective (Automation, Performance Testing) ?
(ii) How can we maintain quality of Data as close to the real life Data ?
(iii) How we can handle data once we have used it ?
