Suparna Khamaru is a MTS 1, Software Engineer, Quality at PayPal💎

Suparna will talk about "Continuous Shift Left Automation Testing on Mobile"🗣️

💥Primary focus of testing is always to find most of the bugs at the earliest possible stage in SDLC. 

💥Continuous Shift Left Testing helps in finding maximum bugs in the earliest development cycle, thus saving tonnes of time & money to business in testing & bug-fixing, while increasing confidence on the quality of the app with increasing code and test coverage.

💥Today, most companies not only run UI Tests & Unit tests, but also visual/snapshot tests, performance tests, SDK integration tests on Shift Left Testing strategy.

💥This reduces repetitive manual testing efforts and time to a huge extent by directly reaching the market faster every week with the latest developed feature, beating the competitors in mobile apps market on both android and iOS platforms.

💥We can also optimise Shift Left Testing with Distributed Parallel Ex*****on and reduce the test ex*****on time in CI from several hours to few handful minutes at almost no extra cost.

💥We will also see how several cloud device platforms can be integrated to suit and meet Shift Left Automation on Mobile apps.

Gunesh Patil is gonna talk about "Get Your Test Coverage Groove On with Model Based Testing"💎

📍What if, you could auto generate your test cases just from a model of the system and execute you automation at back of it, right away? This can be achieved while maximizing your test coverage using industry proven algorithms.

📍In this talk, Gunesh Patil is going to talk about one of rarely discussed but very effective method that focuses on the use of models to define, design, and execute tests.

📍We will also look at the qualities and ways needed to build the model based mindset. The models used in MBT aka model-based testing can be represented using various notations such as state machines, flowcharts, or data flow diagrams.

📍This testing method offers several advantages over traditional testing approaches, including building a strong testing mindset, enhanced collaboration, improved test lifecycle management, and more time to explore.

Join Maaret Pyhäjärvi during her talk “Coaching Teams to Modern Test Management"💥

⚡️One year of building a product, from quarterly to monthly releases. From 27 days to 19 minutes release lead time. 13 reusable test charters, 1851 programmatic tests executed in pipelines frequent enough to produce 50 000 test results a day. No bug reports written and zero bugs policy for releasing. This describes my current team in a nutshell. Modern test management relies on frequent, moving up to continuous releases. Working from a known good baseline taking small steps following the change allows for a new way of managing testing.

⚡️And while numbers of programmatic tests are impressive, the bugs they miss that exploratory testing - also using automation - finds are more impressive. We say that the large numbers of programmatic tests do 10% of the testing the team does. 90% of the work is keeping test systems up to par with the latest scope of system we deliver and attending to results gap programmatic tests inherently include. In this talk, we learn to manage testing maintaining agency - the capacity of individuals to act independently and make their own free choices. This is not a story about managing testing based on sessions.

⚡️This is a story of working with product owners to identify gaps and assign responsibilities, working with teams to make the right skills available for different kinds of testing tasks across roles, identifying testing roadblocks with data deep dives and creating space where test design and test ex*****on always come together while navigating corporate documentation requirements. Practices to this are frequent deliveries, following change, whole-team test automation, bug reports as conversations, pair and ensemble testing,  and feature checklists. We need to ensure we pay attention to both testing of today and testing of the future.

Meet Tara Walton - a Community Builder, Quality Advocate, Leader, Speaker, Solution Creator🔥

🌙Does the extent of your test automation practice start and end with UI testing?
🌙As QA leaders, if you only focus on UI automation, it might bring some peace of mind, but you’re missing out on everything under the surface of your products.
🌙As an avid fan of API testing and Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), I will take attendees on a quest to gain new insights into attacking test plans and practical solutions to avoid the front-end/back-end blame game.
🌙In addition, we will explore how leveraging D&D concepts can help you overcome your own API implementation roadblocks.
🌙Everyone deserves a holistic testing strategy that meets your business logic, while increasing coverage for all, and that includes those stuck only testing the UI.
🌙When you set out to slay the dragon it’s a good idea to use more than one approach, and the same is true for testing your products. So grab those dice and join the battle for API testing.

Meet Vipin Jain💥

⛩️Every software have limits and multiple points of possible failure. By injecting a system with variables that have a likelihood of causing disruption, the vulnerable and weak areas of the system can be exposed by the disaster recovery teams.

⛩️Necessary step-by-step solutions and protocols can be implemented which will eventually allow the software to become even more resilient and fault tolerant. Many companies still fail to understand that how will they adapt and modify their existing disaster recovery plans (DRP) to create space for these newly discovered cause-and-effect strategies.

⛩️In fact, they may be surprised to learn that effective and well-tested chaos engineering principles can essentially streamline the entire DRP exercise process. As a direct result, customer receives better services and business profits grow.

⛩️In my presentation, I will begin by explaining how chaos testing is different than regular testing. My next few slides will take us through a well defined Chaos testing strategy that caters small in-house systems to large distributed systems. I will explain how to Chaos test at Unit levels, Integration levels and system levels.

⛩️This will also help teams to convince upper management about "inserting" a chaos in system and then see "what happens". I will end my presentation with a real life use case so audience can see "Chaos testing" in practicality.

"Well, THAT’s Random – Automated Fuzzy Browser Clicking" is a topic of Paul Grizzaffi🪐

💥Roughly speaking, ‘fuzzing’ is testing without an oracle, i.e. testing without knowing what a specific outcome should be. When fuzzing, we don’t necessarily know what should happen, but we have a good idea of some things that shouldn’t happen, such as 404 errors and server or application crashes.

💥We generally apply fuzzing to help uncover these kinds of errors when we’re testing text boxes, but why should textboxes have all the fun? Websites created today are highly interconnected, multi-server applications that include connections to non-local servers that are controlled by neither the applications nor the team. 

💥This situation makes it difficult to both enumerate and control all the possible combinations of paths through our system. Even if we could identify all the possible paths, most organizations would not have the time to test all these scenarios, regardless of whether they apply automation to help with that testing.

💥During this session, we explore how expanding our automation approach by using randomization can help mitigate the risks associated with hard-to-enumerate application scenarios. By using random clicking, we can provide testers with additional information via exploring paths through the application which are not intuitive, but which are still valid. 

💥We’ll discuss why creating a random clicker doesn’t have to take a lot of effort, how this approach is rooted in the facets of High Volume Automated Testing (HiVAT), and some considerations of which to be mindful when using randomization.

Craig Risi will present his talk called "Building Automated Quality Gates into your CI pipelines"☀️

🍀How do you know when your code is ready for production? At what point in time can you trust your automated tests enough to eventually deploy into production?

🍀Companies make use of CI pipelines to help drive quicker ex*****on of automated tests and ensure that code is of sufficient quality before deployment. Or at least that is what they are supposed to do.

🍀Too often, companies end up using CI pipelines to try and drive better software delivery but end up still delivering poor quality software into test environments and lose trust in the effectiveness of the pipeline process.

🍀In this talk we will have a look at the ideal structure of a CI pipeline and how to build the different quality gates into the pipeline to ensure that things like code coverage, security, automated test results and performance standards are all achieved before code is deployed to the different environments it is required.

🍀We will look at the structure of a CI pipeline, what the different stages mean and importantly how to enforce different metrics and targets automatically in the pipeline.

Julio de Lima will join us🙀

🤖The evolution of the adoption of agile methods in companies that develop software products is clear. It is also very clear the evolution of software testing professionals to adapt to a new context and still be able to actively contribute to their teams.

🤖Traditional test cases give way to more experience-oriented approaches, such as exploratory testing, for example. Automation, gains space to be able to contribute with the support to regression tests of iterations of past cycles.

🤖Roles and responsibilities also change, from test analyst to QA analyst, a professional who, in addition to testing, contributes to quality from the beginning. But after all, is it really possible to contribute from the beginning?

🤖For example, while the code is still in development? Yes, it is possible, and in this talk I want to show you an approach in which QAs can actively contribute to the quality of the source code, called Functional Code Review, that really shifts testing to the left.

"Picking a team role that best fits you and the team" is the topic of Vojin Popović🌊

🍀Most companies are either transitioning or have already transition to a team structure that is self-organized and this applies to testers as well who find themselves in cross functional teams rather than test teams.

🍀Often the role of a tester is also blurred and it common for testers to do development work such as bug fixes or implementation /of small feature or find themselves analyzing the requirements or even suggesting new product feature, work traditionally done by product owners.

🍀But how to know what role fits you the best?

🍀In this talk we will cover personality types and team roles, matching your personality with testing needs in the team, how to learn to see multiple perspetives from team members and other roles and a few tips how to fit in better in a new team.

Meet Johannes Dienst and his talk "Challenges in UI Automation and How to Solve Them"💎

💡It is impossible to imagine software development without UI tests. Despite technological progress, the automation of UI tests is still considered too complex to function completely without manual intervention. Especially when automating canvas elements, embedded maps or shadow DOM elements, many approaches reach their limits. That is why more and more image-based approaches are being pursued, in addition to classical ones such as Selenium.

💡This talk will cover modern UI automation approaches with an overview of tools and techniques. In particular, current problems and future developments will be addressed. We show exemplarily how several tools like Taiko and SikuliX can be used and how AI will help to approach such challenges in the future.
