For modern development teams, test automation has become the answer to faster deployment, improved testing coverage, and better quality.

However, in the mobile sphere, even the best-designed apps can wreak havoc on automated tests and the user experience can usually mean the difference between a 1-star and a 5-star rating on your mobile app.

Different form factors, device types, screen rotations, and operating systems are just a few of the challenges that mobile QA teams face. That’s where visual testing comes into play.

Join this web seminar to discover how a few visual discrepancies in your mobile design can greatly impact your app store rating.

You’ll learn common aspects of mobile UI testing and how to keep your design consistent throughout hundreds of devices without breaking your automated scripts.

This session covers:

• Barriers that keep your apps from becoming pixel-perfect
• How visual imperfections can break your buyer’s journey
• How to incorporate visual validation testing into your automated tests
• How visual testing can be utilized for functional testing

Providing exceptional digital experiences on your web and mobile apps is more critical than ever. One way to ensure you are delivering on that promise is by utilizing the right infrastructure: a testing cloud.

Clouds enable teams to automate more of their test cases and achieve their continuous testing goals. Scaling is easier, as is cross-team collaboration. Clouds are always on, secure, and accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world, enabling your entire team to stay synched and up to date on testing.

Join Perfecto by Perforce Chief Evangelist, Eran Kinsbruner, in this upcoming webinar to explore benefits and best practices of testing in the cloud.

During this webinar you will learn:

• Benefits of cloud testing versus on-prem or DIY solutions.
• Best practices for web and mobile app testing in the cloud.
• How to scale testing in the cloud to automate more of your tests.

Presenter: Eran Kinsbruner (LinkedIn profile) Mobile Technical Evangelist Perfecto,  and author of The Digital Quality Handbook: Guide for Achieving Continuous Quality in a DevOps Reality; & Continuous Testing for DevOps Professionals: A Practical Guide From Industry Experts has extensive experience in the mobile testing market. Prior to Perfecto, he was the mobile testing CTO at Texas Instruments and project manager at Matrix, and he co-invented a test-exclusion automated mechanism for mobile J2ME testing at Sun Microsystems.

1. You know that testing and quality is important, right?
   • Okay, prove it.
2. Exactly how much money do you think testing saves?
   • Yes, that’s right saves.

Testing is often thought of as a regrettable cost center, something that must be funded to avoid some dimly-understood “bad stuff that could happen.”

In fact, software testing and other quality assurance activities save money. Typically, every dollar spent on testing saves eight dollars in the long run.

In this One Key Idea session, Rex will demonstrate the use of cost of quality, a technique known for over 50 years, using a real world case study and a spreadsheet you can download and use that same day.

Test management has come to be equated with what various automated tools do, but truly managing testing as a project applies powerful practices to testing’s unique challenges and produces far greater results.

Learn to better define and communicate how you’ll reliably deliver testing’s full value so you can negotiate for the scarce time, resources, and influence you need to do it.

• Common test management tool capabilities and limitations
• Added benefits of managing testing as a project vs. an activity
• Tailoring project management methods to testing’s unique challenges

DevOps processes have become critical for organizations to release software as quickly as necessary in today’s fast-paced economy. The very name of “DevOps” calls out developers and operations.

But where does QA fit into that mix?

The answer is that QA plays an equal role in DevOps, and a shift to DevOps actually presents an opportunity for QA teams to play a more strategic role than previously alongside development and operations.

Join this web seminar to gain strategies for how to involve QA in your DevOps methodology and make them a strategic partner.

You will learn how to:

• Help define quality in DevOps
• Get proactive with design
• Strategize with test automation
