In our inaugural One Key Idea session, we looked at how use pairwise testing to examine combinations of inputs, configuration values, types of data, and the like.

This is a great technique when the interaction between these factors is unpredictable. However, in some cases, specific business rules govern these interactions.

How can we model these business rules and use that model

to develop a reasonable set of tests?

Simple: decision tables.

In this One Key Idea session, Rex will explain the basics of this fundamental technique.

Learn how to create and use these straightforward, table-based representations of business logic in your daily work.

A critical challenge in transitioning to continuous integration (CI) and continuous development (CD) is creating a flexible testing environment that moves the focus from test support teams to IT infrastructure, DevOps, and automation tools.

Legacy tools meant to manually run load tests won’t cut it alone—you need a solution to automate and scale your testing process.

Join this web seminar to learn how a multi-billion dollar financial organization created a net savings of more than 500 man hours of testing and scripting per year using agile performance testing with CI/CD and application performance management (APM).

Gain new insights into how shifting your testing focus can improve development speed, costs, and quality.

Learn:

• The importance of automation and continuous load testing
• How to integrate CI/CD into your test environment
• How APM enables load testing to be more efficient
