DevOps as a culture, movement and philosophy is leading to an increase in the practice of shifting testing to the right — towards production.

Many organizations now use continuous integration and delivery pipelines to make decisions about production readiness and, once the software is released, leverage real-time monitoring for detecting and debugging issues.

Testing in Production (TiP) has historically been the subject of great scrutiny due to its frequent association with insufficient pre-production testing.

However, when applied appropriately, TiP can be a highly effective means of validation and verification.

Unlike testing in a lab or staging environment, TiP provides feedback on system behavior using real user scenarios, data and configurations. Tariq King believes that the next-generation of test automation involves combining TiP with AI-driven testing techniques.

In other words, the machines of the future will learn how to test by training on information gathered from real users acting in production environments. Similarly, test scenarios will be executed in production environments to provide best effort simulations.

Join Tariq as he explains different approaches to TiP with AI, its key benefits and challenges, and how he envisions these technologies moving us towards a future where systems and services test themselves.

Presenter: Tariq King Bs Ms PhD (LinkedIn profile) is the Chief Scientist at test.ai, where he leads research and development of their core platform for AI-driven testing. Tariq has over 15+ years’ experience in software engineering and testing and has formerly held positions as Head of Quality, Director of Quality Engineering, Manager of Software Engineering and Test Architect. Tariq’s areas of research are software testing, artificial intelligence, autonomic and cloud computing, model-driven engineering, and computer science education. He has published over 40 research articles in peer-reviewed IEEE and ACM journals, conferences, and workshops, and has been an international keynote speaker at leading software conferences in industry and academia.

The success of any project depends on how requirements are being managed, and how changes are being controlled through out the project.

When things get hectic and the schedule slips, it becomes crucial to get back to the customer as soon as possible with some adjustments to functionality being delivered.

In fact, it is even more crucial to avoid that schedule slippage in the first place. Most importantly, it is critical to any project manager or QA manager to provide accurate estimates for each feature to be delivered, with accurate time frame when it will be delivered.

Agile projects also must have better control over increments to make sure specific functionality is delivered at the right time.

In this presentation, Magdy will show how Feature-Based Project Management™ adopted by Rommana ALM sets a new standard for managing software projects.

Some of the features are:

Writing Better User Stories with Rommana ALM

For many years, project teams used user stories to describe functionality in agile projects. It is well established fact among agile teams that user stories in their standard format do not provide much details for developers to build the functionality or for tester to make sure the functionality is working as intended.

To overcome the brevity of user stories, project teams sometimes use acceptance criteria to add more details to a user story and to establish the boundaries of a user story.

Another approach that has proven to achieve good results is to write scenarios for user stories.

In this webinar, Dr. Hanna will share his experience using both acceptance criteria and scenarios. More specifically,

Dr. Hanna will discuss the following:

(IIST – Rep 4514) – A Rommana ALM Webinar

Whether your project is agile or not, it is critical that you practice good requirement and/or user story management.

Requirements and user stories do not just exist by themselves. Instead, they are linked to other artifacts such as test cases and test sets, scenarios and/or acceptance criteria, code and design components, tasks, risks, and actions.

Requirements and user stories also change during the course of a project and over the lifecycle of an application. Some requirements or user stories originate from user requests, some evolve from bug reports or issues, and some are even enhancements to existing functionalities.

A good requirement/user story management tool must support all these aspects of features.

In this webinar Magdy will demonstrate how the requirement / user story component of Rommana ALM supports all these aspects and more. The intent is to help you understand true requirement and user story management so that you can make an informed decision regarding tool selection and tool adoption.

If you are already using a tool to manage your requirements and/or user stories, this webinar should help you customize your tool to support all these aspects.
