1. Do you find it confusing when your Selenium test sometimes waits for a page to load and sometimes it doesn’t?
2. Do you get frustrated that you can’t check to see if an alert is present on the page without canceling it?
3. Are you constantly sending timeout commands during your tests?

There are several ways you can customize the behavior of the browser you are using to test when you start a session.

You can leverage these settings to ensure consistent and reliable behavior across different parts of your tests to minimize time spent investigating failures.

The W3C specification for WebDriver has also added several helpful options that are still underused. Additionally, each browser vendor offers custom ways for working with their browser.

In this webinar, Titus Fortner, (LinkedIn profile) Senior Developer Experience Engineer at Sauce Labs, will walk through how WebDriver capabilities work.

Understand how to set and work with:

• Timeout values
• Page loading strategy
• JavaScript alerts
• Insecure Certificates
• File Interactability
• Plus various vendor-specific preferences and extensions

Test – Driven Development (TDD), is a software development technique that flips the testing process on its head: rather than testing after the product is done, developers build tests first and use the failure as a guide to write the necessary code.

TDD’s immediate benefit is that it gives better test coverage, but there are more beneficial second order effects that come when applying it consistently.

Moving in this step by step, feedback driven process improves the team productivity and results in a malleable software design.

In this presentation, Rex & Gio look at how to bring this mindset that focuses on iteration and feedback in all the areas of software and product development.

Presenter:

Gio Lodi (LinkedIn profile) is the author of Test – Driven Development in Swift. He’s been exploring testing and automation since 2011, when he encountered TDD while working on a startup with his University housemates. Gio publishes his findings in his blog and with presentations such as this one. He lives in an Australian beach town with his wife and two little children, and works remotely as mobile infrastructure engineer at Automattic, where he helps teams working on apps such as WordPress ship quality code on a
schedule.

Rex Black (Amazon profile) is President of RBCS, a leader in software, hardware, and systems testing. RBCS employs the industry’s most experienced and recognized consultants, RBCS conducts product testing, builds and improves testing groups and hires testing staff for hundreds of clients worldwide. As the leader of RBCS, Rex is the most prolific author practicing in the field of software testing today.

The demand for faster software releases has created new challenges for those that fail to test earlier and more frequently in the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Bugs found post release instead of in the early stages of the SDLC cost organizations significant sums of money and irreversible damage to their brand, customer retention, regulation compliance, and the overall bottom line.

By deploying AI analytics in conjunction with shift left, organizations can increase product release efficiency and minimize costs associated with reactive remediation.

Shift left allows organizations to remain proactive as it pertains to unit, functional, and non-functional testing (performance and security), in order to properly enable both business and technical users to execute tests early and often.

This ensures consistent quality, full visibility, security, and faster time to market. By also deploying AI capabilities, QA and dev teams can start testing even earlier, test smarter and streamline critical decision making in the testing cycle.

Join Guy Arieli (LinkedIn profile) CTO QA, Digital.ai & Juan Lugo (LinkedIn profile) Product Marketing Manager – Testing, Digital.ai; in this webinar for a closer look at how to align distributed teams with unified business metrics.

Guy & Juan will cover creating effective, testing strategies, as well as:

• The benefits of prioritizing testing earlier in the SDLC
• The necessary cultural shift and how to organize teams for success
• Creating synergies to increase productivity between teams
• Leveraging AI and ML to create efficiencies and optimize testing
• Automated test execution for non-technical users

Needing to embrace mobile test automation but facing analysis paralysis?

You’re not alone. In a recent survey by Kobiton, 25.9% of respondents stated that the largest barrier to entry for test automation is finding the right tools. Not knowing which automation path to adopt can be potentially damaging to your ability to release faster and with higher quality.

However, the right tool for someone else may not be the right tool for your organization. So how do you pick one?

Join Shannon Lee in this webinar for a whirlwind tour of the major testing frameworks you should consider and the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Shannon will look at all the well-known players, both open source and commercial, and even the lesser-known ones that deserve a closer look.

This deep dive into frameworks will allow attendees to leave the webinar with a blueprint in place to help them select the right tool for their organization’s specific needs.

Presenter:  Shannon Lee (LinkedIn profile) Developer Evangelist for Kobiton has 5+ years experience in the technical world of DevOps. With two Bachelor’s of Science degrees in Biology and Mathematics from GSU, Shannon enjoys challenging herself in learning new trends in software development, test automation, and applied data science. Shannon also enjoys engaging individuals with goals of inspiring and encouraging others, especially women in technology, as well as learning from brilliant minds within the DevOps community.

“What Gets Measured Gets Managed.” Jamie Mitchell explains, “I have heard this since the first day I got into software. Management wants metrics.

The managers would tell us that it allowed them to maximize our effort and the organizational profits. The more cynical of us always said that it was to make sure we were not sitting around drinking coffee instead of working.”

Not everything that matters can be measured. Not everything that we can measure matters. And this applies to software test automation more than in most software endeavors.

As an automator of almost 30 years, Jamie has struggled with the demand for metrics from management for most of his career. Most of the metrics that he has been forced to collect were—in his humble opinion—not only worthless, but also misleading and subject to manipulation by those who wanted to prove their point (no matter what that point was.)

Join the discussion, between Rex Black and Jamie Mitchell (LinkedIn profile), as they cover various kinds of metrics that have been suggested for automation.

The quality of any software product or system always depend on how well the different processes of the product lifecycle are managed and how the artifacts of these processes are traced to each other.

Our experience running projects of different types and sizes suggests that the success of any software project can only happen through fully-integrated application lifecycle management with following processes fully integrated:
