The term “automation” has heavily influenced how we define the software testing industry. For many years, we’ve used it as a catch-all to determine whether a tester, testing team, or IT organization is successful. But the role of test automation is changing.

Time and experience have shown that an overly broad application of test automation can make even the most talented QA teams less effective. Common mistakes, like using a percentage of test cases automated to define success, are costly and overburden QA teams.

In this web seminar Melissa will re-examine the role of test automation in the QA process. We’ll discuss common misconceptions about test automation and how you can address them. Along the way we will share proven tactics that you can use to make immediate improvements to your QA process.

Learn:

1. The most common misconceptions about test automation and how to correct them
2. How to measure the success of your automation strategy in a way that aligns with your quality goals
3. How to organize and run your teams to create a culture of quality and make your test automation strategy more effective

Presenter:  Melissa Tondi (LinkedIn profile) spent most of her career working with software testing teams. Founder of Denver Mobile and Quality (DMAQ), Past President & Board member of Software Quality Association of Denver (SQuAD), & professional services manager at Rainforest QA: she assisted companies to continuously improve the pursuit of quality software. Melissa has focused on building and organizing teams around three major tenets—”Efficiency, Innovation, &  Culture” using the greatest common denominator (GCD) approach for determining ways team members can assess, implement, and report on day-to-day activities.  In this way the gap between need & value is as small as possible.

It is no surprise that agile projects are very fast pace. Whether your sprint is two, three or even four week, there is barely time for the team to do user acceptance testing the way we know it.

It is not possible to involve business users and SMEs to perform UAT at the end of each sprint.

The Use of a UAT-Specific Sprint as suggested by some practitioners has its own drawbacks.

In this presentation, Dr. Magdy Hanna will present an overview of a proactive UAT process that utilizes real business scenarios. The process will also help minimize the risk associated with the UAT-Specific Sprint approach.

Presenter: Dr. Magdy Hanna PhD (LinkedIn profile) is a recognized educator, speaker and consultant in several areas of software engineering. His highly rated seminars in various topics over the last thirty-five years have spanned various aspects and capacities of software projects and processes.

He has trained over 50,000 professionals around the world over the last 20 years. As a professor of Software Engineering at the University of St. Thomas , he taught graduate courses on several software engineering topics with emphasis on practical software quality techniques.

Dr. Hanna developed new approaches and methods in software engineering including the Scenario-Based Development and Testing (SBDT), Requirement-Based Project Management (RBPM), Software Quality Engineering Methodology (SQEngineer), the Unified Data Model (UDM), and the Data-Driven Object Model ( DOM ). Dr. Hanna and his instructors conduct hundreds of free online webinars each year.

Dr. Hanna also served as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Software Test Professionals, a publication of IIST, now the Bug Free Zone.

Dr. Hanna is Founder, CEO, and Chairman of several organizations:

• International Institute for Software Testing,
  • leading educational and professional development organization that provides education-based certifications to software test and quality professionals around the world.
  • Dr. Hanna serves as the Chairman of Advisory Board for the Certified Software Test Professional (CSTP) and the Certified Test Manager (CTM) credentials.
