Quality testing and the concept of end-to-end have been around for a long time but the meaning of the latter varies depending on who you speak to.

True end-to-end test automation opens up a world of possibilities for companies both large and small whose contact centers and enterprise IT teams seek to optimize customer experience, reduce rework, and lower operational costs.

So what does end-to-end really mean and what functionality does it enable?

Explore:

• Automated user acceptance testing (UAT) and design
• What end-to-end is (and what it is not)
• Why end-to-end matters
• Why cross-functional team access to test automation rigs the game in your favor
• The advantages of hybrid test solutions

Presenter: Erik Delorey (LinkedIn profile) MBA Product Marketing Manager and Solutions Owner Hammer Test Automation product line at Empirix;  has designed, coded and executed test automation and network operations monitoring programs for the world’s largest service providers, financial institutions and government agencies for 20+ years.

Today, users expect a seamless web experience – 88% of users won’t return to a website with a bad UX.

However, testing the necessary browsers across different operating systems on a local machine is nearly impossible.

Why?

As development teams endeavor to speed up deployments, QA teams lack the time to test all possible configurations, or the resources to maintain devices and configure browsers.

Learn how to achieve test coverage when testing across multiple browsers and devices. Matt will show you how to scale one test script to 2000+ configurations in the cloud, and then deploy through a CI/CD pipeline to make the most of your team’s resources and time.

Learn:

• How to speed up your tests with a Selenium Grid
• Best practices of testing with a Selenium Grid
• Benefits of deploying these tests with a continuous deployment tool
• Putting it all together – a workflow that scales one test script to 2000+ configurations, deployed through a CI/CD pipeline

Presenter:  Matt Bonner (LinkedIn profile) Technical Solutions Engineer SmartBear for the functional front end and API testing tools; is interested in deep troubleshooting of complex workflows and sharing with the Test Automation industry though delivering webinars. He specializes in Automation and enjoys giving personalized technical demonstrations with integrations like BDD, Workday, and other BPA tools.

Results From The 2020 DevTestOps Survey

DevOps practices are starting to spread like wildfire across the industry, but unfortunately not always with quality assurance built in as a core capability.

Many teams have no choice but to build a testing strategy as they go, rather than having the ability to design the culture, processes, and tools upfront. When QA testing is an afterthought in an agile or CI/CD environment, the results are measurable inefficiencies across the entire development team, and a subpar user experience as too many bugs reach production.

So what is the resolution?

Ensuring there are QA best practice touchpoints at every phase of application development has generated the most gains when it comes to customer experience and employee happiness.

Placing automated testing at the center of DevOps – what we call DevTestOps – yields an ROI you won’t want to ignore.

In this discussion, Darrel Farris, Solutions Architect at mabl will share insights and data from mabl’s 2020 DevTestOps Landscape Survey of over 1,000+ testers, developers, and leaders. In this webinar, you will learn:

• How DevOps, CI/CD, and cloud adoption is impacting quality
• Impact of testing practices on tester and customer satisfaction
• The types and importance of automating tests so your team can thrive in a DevOps world

Presenter: Darrel Farris (LinkedIn profile) Solutions Architect at mabl, an intelligent test automation company. Prior to mabl, Darrel spent much of his career working in a variety of roles within product delivery,  focused on aspects of quality &  testing. His diverse technical experience and upbeat personality make him an engaging, compelling coach with a focus on nurturing good testing practices.

You may have heard the saying “The only constant on any project is change.”

Yet the prospect of change is rarely welcomed—either personally or professionally.

How is it that we still believe that these changes apply to others but not to us?

Julie Gardiner (LinkedIn profile) says that now is the time to re-evaluate and transform how we test in order to deliver more value to organizations—from a people, processes, and tools perspective.

In this session Julie examines, how we’ve gotten to this stage in terms of our role and what skills are vital for us to be prepared for the next stage.

The ever-changing digital world requires organizations to be capable of delivering rapid updates to their products and services in a matter of hours. The traditional approach to testing, one dependent solely on human intervention, simply cannot keep up.

In order to move to the next level of testing transformation, organizations need to make test automation smarter through autonomous testing. As we move toward this paradigm,TestBots based on AI and ML will become the new normal, making testing more independent from human intervention through self-learning.

However, just as is happening in the automotive industry with self-driving vehicles, human testers will still be in the driver’s seat for some years to come, managing and collaborating with TestBots. Are you ready?

In this webinar, Nagendra & Diego , will discuss:

• What customer-obsessed organizations do to accelerate digital transformation with quality
• The Forrester Autonomous Testing framework, its inspiration from SAE, and realities and myths of autonomous testing use cases
• Hexaware’s solutions and platforms for autonomous testing
• Hexaware’s customer case studies

Do you get too little time and too few resources to do the testing you know needs to be done?

You’re probably a victim of testing budgets and schedules that are set irrespective of needed tests.

To have a prayer of negotiating achievable testing, you need to apply proven estimation techniques, starting with positively defining needed tests and related tasks.

Learn how to:

• Recognize why you’re repeatedly stuck with impossible testing budgets and schedules
• Identify positively the tests you need for confidence the product works properly
• Make supportable estimates of the direct and indirect work for responsible testing
