Today’s enterprises are driven by software. With most companies depending on a mix of internally hosted and SaaS-based applications, how do you ensure that all of these mission-critical applications are continuously empowering users rather than hindering them?

Traditional application performance monitoring (APM) and real user monitoring (RUM) solutions are wonderful tools for digging deep into technology issues as they arise, but they can present challenges when your primary goal is to measure application availability and performance, or when you don’t have control over the infrastructure.

Synthetic monitoring, however, monitors your applications by simulating users and directing the path taken through the application.

This directed monitoring doesn’t require changes to your application or servers and allows you to focus on availability and performance, so it offers many advantages as a primary solution or as a way to bolster your existing monitoring.

Join this web seminar to learn how to use synthetic monitoring within your data center to effectively monitor all of your critical applications.

Learn

1. The advantages of synthetic monitoring for tracking availability and performance of internal and third-party applications
2. The pros and cons of synthetic monitoring compared to APM and RUM
3. How synthetic monitoring can be used to monitor external application dependencies such as third-party APIs

Presenter: Troy Presley Sr. (LinkedIn profile) Solutions Engineer Apica brings 10+ years of experience in synthetic technical project management. He has a proven ability to communicate with both management and technical teams, and successfully drive projects from strategy to development and implementation.

Performance testers were the pioneers of agile testing. In fact, their approach is more closely aligned to what the industry now refers to as exploratory testing.

Performance tuning involves using the scientific method to correct and integrate previous knowledge via an iterative process. Each iteration starts with a defined question and an explanatory hypothesis that can be tested in a reproducible manner. The process is essential to helping the tester measure, evaluate, and improve system performance.

Join this web seminar to explore what we can learn from performance testers’ interactive “tuning” approach.

Learn how to:

1. The key exploratory testing principles that performance testers swear by
2. Strategies for applying those principles to functional testing
3. Real-world examples of what these techniques look like in practice

As testing shifts left, most organizations begin by focusing on continuous integration and continuous delivery, but too often they neglect the critical practice of continuous testing (CT). Continuous testing can reduce risk, improve response time to competitive and market events, and shorten time to deliver value to customers.

A successful CT implementation includes the right test automation framework for your unique environment and the ability to ensure your test code is always in sync with the product and product documentation, as well as metrics, measurement, and timely communications to keep you on track.

Join this web seminar to explore the essential components of a successful continuous testing environment.

Learn about these five crucial elements:

1. Framework: Open source, commercial, or a combination? Learn the pros and cons, and determine which test framework is right for you
2. Testing: Get a how-to guide for deciding which tests to automate and when to run them
3. Coding: Hear best practices for developing test automation code the right way to save time and reduce flakiness
4. Measurement: Identify KPIs that matter
5. Fast Feedback: Ensure the best possible mean time to resolution (MTTR)

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.

The Agile Manifesto contains no mention of user acceptance testing (UAT).

With short iterations:

• Developers, testers and business analysts are working together on a daily basis churning out working product.
• Sometimes Acceptance Testing for each iteration can be mistaken for UAT.

Yet, UAT is best done by real business users or end users who have the knowledge to check the functionality not only for delivery as per the defined business requirements, but also to make sure it can support them in their daily tasks on the job.

Usually, business users take time out from their regular jobs to conduct user acceptance testing.

These users support the testing effort and return to their job when the UAT is completed. The problem is that not everyone is a good tester.

Business users without knowledge in testing often lack an eye for recognizing patterns and may be focused on using the application only for their particular task.

They may also not have a curious mindset to execute negative tests, things that the system should not do. Additionally, UAT usually happens at the end of the delivery cycle when it may be too late to correct any significant problems. That’s the last thing you want in Agile.

In this webinar, Philip Lew discusses how Agile ideals fall short when it comes to UAT and how to adapt Agile as well as traditional views on what UAT is in order to reach the overall quality objective of meeting business requirements through quality software.

Listen in as Phil breaks analyzes and breaks down the problems and then discusses strategies for implementing UAT through methods that can be adapted to each organization’s flavor of Agile.

Presenter: Philip Lew  CEO at XBOSoft, as a corporate executive, development manager, product manager, and software engineer, Philip has managed teams to tackle broken processes, develop solutions to difficult problems, and coached others be leaders, managers and experts. Leveraging his academic background in operations research, industrial engineering, and computer science combined with hands-on work experience with programming, predictive modeling, and algorithm development he works with clients and colleagues around the world to improve their software processes. Philip also speaks internationally on a broad range of technical and management issues that currently challenge the software engineering community.

Mobile apps are expected to work equally well across devices and operating systems, so many teams have automated test execution for consistency.

However, despite all the effort and tooling around automation of test cases, testing mobile apps comprehensively remains challenging and time-consuming.

By leveraging artificial intelligence and bots, you can speed up your testing and ensure the quality and performance of your mobile app across multiple devices. Moreover, you can make this technique work with your existing DevOps pipeline.

Join this web seminar to learn how to test your mobile apps with real devices and AI. You’ll discover how to achieve functional testing across device variations by using capabilities for the future.

Learn How To:

1. Speed up testing of mobile apps on real devices
2. Leverage AI and testing bots to achieve automation
