TEST AUTOMATION IN AN ITX MODEL

ITX model Test Automation facilitates high collaboration among Dev, QA and BA teams and which offers shift-left testing with more automation. This topic will cover a better test automation strategy to deliver tool & technology agnostic automation in an ITX culture. The test automation framework components in this model are loosely-coupled to plug & play with any technology or tools. It also enables an end to end test execution capability in DevOps pipeline.

AUTOMATING LOAD AND PERFORMANCE TESTING

How to load test applications and how to understand overall performance of the applications in a real production environment.

•Clarification on what application performance is and what system performance is
•Understand how to test application performance independently
•Understand how to test system performance
•Understand how to isolate an application performance issue vs. a system performance issue

TEST AUTOMATION ARCHITECTURE

Usually, when people think about test automation they tend to think about test automation tools, such as Selenium, Cypress or RestAssured. What is often missed is that tools themselves are of a little value unless they are built into working, efficient and maintainable test automation solution.

In this report we shall explore thee proven test automation solution architecture patterns - each with its benefits and drawback.
We will see:
1) what factors can influence automation architecture choices and
2) if there're any kind of universal patterns that can be used for different types of the product under test
3) what is Clean Architecture in relation to test automation solutions

SELENIUM GRID USING KUBERNETES DOCKER HELM AND TRAEFIK

When your applications have a reasonable number of UI (User Interface) tests, it is inevitable that you’ll want to have a solution to execute them concurrently, in order to achieve a faster feedback cycle. But there are shortfalls in using plain EC2 based Selenium Grid or SeleniumGrid running data center, as we move to a micro-service world and towards a shift-left approach for testing. (Testing earlier in the development cycle, even before committing the code, to find and fix problems early.

SHIFT LEFT PERFORMANCE ENGINEERING

Shift Left performance testing allows the organization to performance test microservice-based applications or digital applications in the early development stage which potentially can benefit an organization to catch design or code bottlenecks quicker and discover performance-related defects prior to the delivery lifecycle.

DEVOPS: CONTINUOUS TESTING IN AN AGILE & NON-AGILE WORLD

Always heard of DevOps and Agile go hand in hand, they are complementary. Does that mean we can’t have DevOp’s in Non-Agile projects ?

Well to know more, please join this session of mine, where we will get in depth of
• Implementation of DevOp’s in Non-Agile world
• Implementation of DevOp’s in Non-IT sector
• Significance of Static testing
• A tester wear’s the hat of Quality Assurance
• Paradigm shift from tester to SDET

t = Ac THE CONSTANTS OF TESTING

Alongside new technologies and advancing processes, there are constants in testing. The need to write good tests, to communicate confidently and effectively, and to investigate using intuition.

We’ll cover the ‘ADEPT’ method of test scripting, the most important communication skill, and how to nurture being a ‘bug hunter’.
