Topic Abstract

Tim Carpenter, Director: Head, Test Engineering and Tools, Standard Chartered Bank

Agile is not a new process that just retains existing domains and structure, overlaying them with new process regimes or standards. Agile is an entirely new way to operate. Roles will change. Roles will disappear. Team structure, hierarchies and reporting lines rebuilt from the ground up.

The Cambrian Explosion happened 540million years ago, and was a sudden proliferation in new life forms. All the main forms of life we have now came into being. Those forms that evolved and exploited the opportunities thrived. Those that did not, remaining much as they did in the Ediacaran Period, died out.

Agile is a Cambrian Explosion of new forms. If one remains in the past, one risks becoming ext.

As the rest of the world begins to be introduced into the Agile-UX mentality, it is important to understand what are some of the techniques & tools that can be used to help bring about a better quality when thinking about, designing or working on the experiences of any projects. Be it a web, desktop, mobile app, or IoT related software, it is hard to avoid Agile-UX now. Agile-UX is on a rising demand right now in the region as well as around the world, and it is at the center of the foundations for building better practices when it comes to the quality control to ensure better experiences for any kind of user. Beyond just understanding and knowing about the tools and techniques, industry leaders must also understand the mindset that goes behind it. This talk will be aimed at helping leaders to get into that mentality.

Raj Kamal, Release Manager/Program Manager, APAC

This is story of a team which made the journey from “automating the manual test cases” to “Automation FIRST”. This is also the team who used to think “automation if time permits or automating later” to “automate now”. Also, the same team who used to think “we need more testing effort for automation” to “the effort that we have is for test automation”

As head of testing and release management, I had a unique opportunity to remove the obstacles which blocks the teams from doing automation and taking some risk and bold decisions to do automation which is not always the “easiest” thing to do but definitely the “right” thing to do in long term.

Yes, we used BDD (Behavior Driven Development) along with Selenium, API, DB automation running with CI/CD pipeline on Cloud but this session is NOT about tools and automation frameworks. This tool is about changing the “mindset” of the testers, management and stakeholders and doing everyone a favor by doing “automation” FIRST.

I started my career as automation engineer and I have gone through the pain that many of you may be going through everyday. In this session I will try to address the common pain points and how do you fight against them to come out as a winner.

Brynley Scully, Senior Principal Consultant, Tescom

In this session, the audience will get to hear probing questions about software testing that will make them think, reflect, and examine the way they currently do software testing. The audience will also get to hear actual cases from the speaker’s wealth of software testing experience. This session gets the audience to focus on self-improvement, for the ultimate aim of delighting users of the software apps.

Brynley Scully is a software testing professional, with over 20+ years work experience. He’s worked in end-user and IT service vendor companies, in many projects across many industries, and is a strong evangelist for good software testing.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have ground-breaking potential across all sectors of industry and science: the outputs of AI / ML have remarkable possibilities – it increases our accuracy, speeds our decision making and increases our productivity. In this presentation, we will explore and embrace AI’s promise in accelerating the entire software testing cycle and demonstrate specific areas where AI and machine learning have led to demonstrable improvement in software quality improvement, testing cycle time reduction and better software bug prediction. This discussion will also explore real-world use-cases, benefits, and limitations on how testing and QA organizations are embracing AI and ML techniques.

Kunal Gupta, Quality Assurance Consultant, Testingmind

During this session learn about the various QA assessment models and understand How to measure the maturity of a Software Testing process ? and Why it is important to benchmark and revisit maturity quantitatively ? The session will also make the audience aware of the methodology and measuring techniques used in the well known frameworks used for assessing the maturity. The quantified data helps the management to take right decisions and remove impediments for a smooth QA practice setup within the module / project / enterprise. Know about the TMMi , TPi and other well known assessment models and their usage in traditional and Agile testing practices. The usage of frameworks will help to strategies the People, Process, Tools and Technology aspect in Software QA.

Though Agile methodologies exists for the past 10+ years in Software industry, ‘Continuous Integration’ and ‘Devops’ are the glittering terms in today’s world and getting a big traction in the IT industry transformation. These terms not only threaten to make mockery of traditional testing practices, also posing new challenges for Testing teams. As the production delivery cycles are getting shorten day by day, new set of challenges emerging for QA professionals to rethink on testing strategy. Devops puts Dev, QA and ops team together in the same boat and force them to travel together though their fundamental tasks are different. On the other end, Continuous Integration (CI) practice adds code continuously in to the application which is already in production to meet the customer demands, conveys another challenge to QA team to maintain the application stability as well as assessing the new code behaviour in Production (Called End to End testing). Automation is the simple term to pronounce as a solution to these challenges but it has its own complexity when it comes to implementation. ‘One size doesn’t fit for all’ exactly matches here as we have so many tools available, choosing a right tool which can fit our purpose is the biggest challenge which requires experience and good technical knowledge.
As part of this presentation, I would like to present my experience of using these tools, challenges and Solutions we found so far.
