There is no doubt that a solid unit testing practice is fundamental for building a successful testing strategy, but organizations struggle to effectively adopt and scale unit testing.

Stymied by the effort, specialized skills, and time required to create, scale, and maintain an effective unit testing practice, many end up with gaps in coverage and release code with more risk than desirable.

To tear down the barriers to unit testing, organizations can leverage technology that guides users through process, performing the tedious aspects of creating and maintaining meaningful test cases.

With Parasoft Jtest’s Unit Test Assistant for Java, developers can create, assess, and enhance unit tests with the help of automated tooling, reducing the amount of time and skill required to create and maintain effective test suites.

In this webinar, Mark Lambert & Kapil Bhandari discuss the challenges of unit testing and show you how to leverage new technology to effectively scale the practice across the organization.

You will learn how to:

• Maximize your unit testing ROI and reduce unit testing overhead by at least 50%
• Implement a scalable and maintainable suite of JUnit test cases leveraging Mockito and PowerMock
• Leverage guided unit test creation technology for better and more meaningful code coverage numbers
• Accelerate unit testing and developer productivity with change-based testing

Presenters:

Kapil Bhandari (LinkedIn profile) Parasoft Product Manager

Mark Lambert (LinkedIn profile) Vice President of Products Parasoft, is responsible for delivering real value to the organizations adopting them. Mark leads a professional team that helps customers optimize their software development processes by applying technologies and methodologies to achieve their goals.

Dex Media’s digital tools products enable independent business owners to focus on what they do best. So how does the company manage the test and QA challenges that digital delivery presents?

In this webinar, Dex Media, together with Perfecto and Infostretch, will reveal how they addressed the spiraling mobile testing complexity by cutting its test cycle times by 50%.

Leveraging proven combination of Perfecto and Infostretch, Dex Media automated testing of its business directory applications, Superpages and DexKnows, for Android, iOS and the responsive web. Using QMetry Automation Framework and techniques like parallel execution, as opposed to sequential execution, mobile test automation has enabled the company to deliver consistent, innovative customer experiences.

In this webinar the presenters will:

• Discuss the landscape of mobile testing in the digital age
• Hear first-hand from Dex Media about its digital transformation journey, the challenges it faced and the role of mobile
• Reveal steps to success – and the pitfalls to avoid – in mobile test automation.

With agile and DevOps, there’s no time to waste. Developers have already recognized that today’s “low-code/no-code” approaches are an efficient way to satisfy the relentless demand for more software, faster.

Yet most testers continue wrestling with the high-maintenance, script-based testing approach designed decades ago.

• Why not follow development’s lead & take a new, more lightweight approach to testing?

Low-code/no-code approaches help enterprise organizations deliver software as efficiently as startups by maximizing reuse and minimizing the need for hand-coding.

Freed from the complexities of low-level implementation details, teams can focus on high-level, strategic work that adds business value—with increased creativity and collaboration.

Learn how this scriptless test automation can help your team:

• Rapidly construct modular tests that require minimal maintenance
• Reuse core test components across different types of testing
• Painlessly update the test suite as application requirements evolve
• Engage more business-focused domain experts in the testing process
