Elevating testing demands effective measurement to help quality teams understand progress, set goals, and communicate their impact.

But QA is virtually drowning in data; test results, sprint tracking, deferral rates, and bug density can all be gathered in a tester’s regular work. Quality teams need to decipher the right short and long-term signals to ensure their organization can deliver exceptional user experiences and see the maximum ROI from digital transformation.

In this 2 hour workshop, you’ll learn how to assess your current approach to QA key performance indicators (KPIs) and build a path to an effective measurement strategy.

You will understand your maturity compared to other organizations, find the right KPIs to communicate across your team, align those metrics to your organizational goals, and come away with a workbook to manage your measurement strategy moving forward.

Participants will:

• Assess their current measurement maturity
• Understand how to align QA strategy to organizational goals
• Learn strategies to positively influence core QA KPIs
• Takeaway a workbook to help them build on their measurement strategy

Acceptance Testing is a process by which requirements are collaboratively turned into actionable and testable scenarios, enabling development.

Various skills are required to make it an effective proess, one of which is the identification and definition of Domain-Specific Language elements, or DSLs.

Scott Bain (LinkedIn profile) will examine the importance of this process and will show examples of creating such definitions. The material presented requires no technical expertise.

With all of the hype around Generative AI, one question you might be asking is: Why now?

This isn’t AI’s first rodeo when it comes to the field of software testing. What’s different about LLMs and Generative AI that can address the shortcomings of prior AI tools?

In this webinar, Todd will provide a brief history of AI in testing, and cover some new use-cases that are unlocked by a new generation of AI tools that you can put to work in your organization today.

Presenter: Todd McNeal (LinkedIn profile) Co-Founder at Reflect is an AI-assisted test automation platform. Prior to Reflect, Todd held software development and engineering management roles at a handful of F500s and startups.

Accessors, also known as Locators, are a key component of automated testing.

They allow automated testing tools to interact with the application under test by clicking buttons, filling out forms, or executing other required actions.

But applications today have become more complex and dynamic, causing accessors to become unreliable.

The consequences of unreliable accessors are significant. Not only do they lead to test failures and false positives, but they also require significant effort to maintain and update.

In some cases, test teams may need to spend more time maintaining their test scripts than testing the application.

How can automation teams compensate?

Join this webinar to learn:

• How dynamic applications and code-generators may exacerbate the issue
• What solutions teams can adopt to help minimize the incidence of unreliable accessors
• How AI can help make approaches more robust

Register to join the conversation and learn how common this problem may be and how to address it effectively.

How can we help developers create high-quality software while minimizing the introduction of errors during their daily development tasks?

As software development cycles become shorter, it’s increasingly important to ensure that developers and testers don’t inadvertently introduce errors or compromise software quality. Combining static and dynamic testing is an effective way to minimize software erosion caused by short-term requirements.

Join us online on June 7th as we bring the industry experts together to discuss the benefits and limitations of both static and dynamic testing, and how to integrate them into agile software development effectively.

In this webinar, you’ll hear about:

● How there are limitations of both dynamic and static analysis
● How to overcome these limitations by combining dynamic and static testing
● How to apply these testing techniques to continuous integration practices
● How and where to locate testing activities in your software development and testing processes to minimize software erosion caused by short-term requirements

Businesses today expect high-quality software to be delivered quickly. They have implemented Agile to respond to rapidly changing requirements and DevOps to meet the demand for speed.

The Agile manifesto emphasizes reducing delivery time and creating working software as the primary measure of progress. DevOps, on the other hand, is the most logical extension of Agile’s goals of increased collaboration, shorter feedback cycles, and broken silos.

Without “continuous testing,” the “Agile and DevOps” approach to digital transformation is incomplete, inefficient, and ineffective. Businesses rely on continuous testing to drive digital transformation by implementing DevOps, enabling automation, and embracing the cloud.

Once continuous testing is well aligned with the SDLC, teams can achieve a consistent and long-term development pace.

Over time, software testing processes have evolved and transformed. Enterprises now require next-generation software testing tools that are easier to use and more efficient in agile environments.

These modern test management tools offer a plethora of features that boost productivity, early detection of errors, and cross-functional collaboration with transparency—all of which contribute to higher quality.

Customer-centric organizations are making deliberate efforts and strategic changes to embrace digital transformation, which necessitates a comprehensive approach based on sound planning and a solid foundation. Thus, it is critical to understand how agile tools and techniques are used in testing, as well as their advantages and best practices.

In this interactive webinar you will:

1. Know the three key practices to determine if/when/how you should delegate a task
2. Next generation test management capabilities
3. Addressing organizations’ high quality expectations
4. Effective management of manual and automated test strategies
