INTELLIGENT TESTING 101 - BUILDING BLOCKS FOR MODREN TESTING

Software industry is going through score of revolutions, start from a waterfall development methodology to modern agile approach. With every new change in the way we develop the software, we also need a better and enhanced way to ensure the quality of the software, and hence we witnessed the corresponding approaches in testing as well from manual testing to automated DevOps integrated testing.

The new paradigm of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning) is a new wave in the industry and now it is time to enhance our testing approach to adopt and utilize this technique to make our testing more robust, self-healing with continuous learning i.e. Intelligent.

In this quick talk, we will discuss building blocks of Intelligent testing and explore how to utilize our existing tools towards it.

JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN, DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD

Automated performance testing is one of the touchstones that is meant to enable the dream of continuous integration and delivery: Shifting left, catching performance defects early so they don't become bigger and more complex at a later stage. When it comes to automating performance testing there are some things that can be done to add value, while others tend to re-enforce the old maxim that "Just because you can, does not mean you should". Part of this presentation will be outlining how an over-reliance can result in catastrophic consequences and offering some insights and offering some advice on how to avoid this in your project.

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND QUALITY ASSURANCE

These days digital transformation seems to be the next big thing. But what is it, and how does it apply in QA? Simple, it is about making our life easier through adopting different technologies. Anything that can help us test better, faster!

However, as many of us might have experienced, digital transformation can be hard. Yet is does not have to be. In my talk I will be sharing tips and ideas that can not only help make the transition smoother but also more importantly how we, as QA, can bring about the change and help others embrace it.

TESTING TODAY’S APPLICATION - BLEND OF APPIUM, PERFECTO, TOSCA, AND CI/CD

Mobile computing is ubiquitous now. With the new frameworks for developing applications effectively, advancements in UX, the need for highly secure, API based data-driven applications that also ensure data security and privacy, the current mobile applications demand a good amount of focused testing. With each update, or feature addition, the regression test cases need to be executed.

I will be talking about risk-based testing using Tosca, Android and iOS app, Perfecto environment where shared repository is involved - a highly distributed environment where shared repository, test case execution, devices under test - all are located at different geographies.
