To stimulate growth in complex environments, companies continuously seek to improve efficiency and find ways to differentiate themselves in the marketplace.

With more than $1.7 trillion in revenue lost due to software failure in 2017 [World Quality Report], many enterprises have already embraced automation and reduced their manual testing efforts.

To achieve this, they rely on various automation frameworks like Selenium and QMetry Automation Studio, as well as the integration of CI/CD tools like Jenkins, Gitlabs, and Bamboo to deliver the true transformation from manual to agile and then to DevOps.

While many organizations are already using test automation and CI/CD to reduce the time to market, there is still a challenge to get actionable data in real time.

Join Siva Ana to learn how intelligent automation processes aided by AI and machine learning can drive quality and provide guidance on test coverage and traceability.

Learn How To::

1. Increase the potential of your business with software quality through continuous feedback and prescriptive project improvements
2. Use the power of software quality to develop trust throughout digital transactions and cultivate customer loyalty
3. Keep up with the accelerating pace of digital transformations
4. Leverage processes and tools that will take you to a whole new level of software excellence

Test cases are the fundamental element of testing. Yet, all sorts of different conceptions abound regarding test cases. Some testers are absolutely certain that test cases must be written in a specific format.

Other testers say they don’t need test cases at all. Could they both be right-or both be wrong?

In this interactive presentation, testing expert Robin Goldsmith reveals seldom-recognized important insights about test cases, including:

• Five different ways people view the same test
• Four keys to effective test cases
• Issues with embedding keystroke-level procedural detail
• Alternative low-overhead test case formats
• How to avoid hidden traps that overlook major groups of key test cases
