To plan for any given day, millions of people use weather.com. The team behind the weather portal knows this and ensures their website delivers accurate local weather forecasts with the best possible user experience. Todd Eaton from IBM will reveal how the team built an efficient testing and deployment solution to deliver accuracy and quality, […]

In the world of Agile and CI/CD, continuous testing is no longer a nice-to-have. It is a crucial piece of your software delivery pipeline to ensure that you are able to deliver your applications at speed, without compromising quality. However, with testing volume increasing at every stage of the development lifecycle, you can’t let test […]

Shift left and CI/CD has put developers under pressure to produce code quickly, but it also needs to be error-free. In this presentation, I’ll talk you through how to set up a process to test your code as you work and integrate testing into your CI/CD pipeline. I’ll also show you how to scale your […]

In this session, we’ll show you how to apply machine learning to optimize your CD pipeline by automatically prioritizing tests to identify quality issues earlier in the development cycle. We all want to do more, faster, and better. And while test automation is a great start to improving test cycle efficiency, automation still requires a […]

Open source has all but taken over the test automation space. Overall this has been a boon to our industry. No longer do we need to depend on ultra-expensive and frankly limited tooling that locks you in to something that may or may not age well. Now we have a plethora of different options and […]

Spreadsheets and documents? Do you have to juggle between separate tools such as Jira, Jenkins and Selenium to keep track of it all? Do you wish your requirements management, testing tools and defect trackers were all in sync? This session demonstrates SpiraTest – the powerful test management tool from Inflectra. SpiraTest is trusted by over […]

Breaking news! Automation development is software development. Yeah, it’s true. Even if we are using a drag-and-drop or record-and-playback interface to create that automation, somewhere, in the stack, under the hood or behind the curtain, there is code sequenced by our actions. We must start treating our automation initiatives as software development initiatives, lest we […]

Is your framework designed for writing automated tests, or for automated testing? We call them automation frameworks but typically they are single purpose software full of assumptions around that purpose, tightly coupled to executing complete end to end test cases. Inspired by the Richardson Maturity Model for REST Api’s, I will share a heuristic model […]

The speed and adaptability of Agile development is no longer a competitive advantage, but a requirement. It’s no surprise then that 97% of all software organizations now practice some form of Agile development, per VersionOne. As the adoption of Agile has grown, so too has the use of test automation. In the process, one thing […]

“Trust Takes Years To Build, Seconds To Break And Forever To Repair.” Product delivery teams these days often rely on feedback from automated tests to determine the quality of the product they are working on. Running automated tests every night or after every commit, depending on the type of test and the adopted development process, […]
