Test automation belongs to the testers and as testers we care about quality more than the rest of the development team do, right? It’s easy to think this. I know, I’ve been there, as a Tester and a Test Manager. But now I manage the whole development team and can see how the whole team should use test automation. And how we could get more efficient as a team when we all became responsible for quality.

https://confengine.com/agile-india-2020/proposal/11065/visual-validation-the-missing-tip-of-the-automation-pyramid The top of the pyramid is our UI / end-2-end functional tests - which simulate end-user behavior and interactions with the product-under test. While Automation helps validate functionality of your product, aspects of UX validations can only be seen and captured by the human eye and is hence mostly a manual activity. This is an area where AI & ML can truly help. With everyone wanting to be Agile, make quick releases, the look & feel / UX validation, which is a slow, and error-prone activity, quickly becomes a huge bottleneck. In addition, with any UX related issues propping up cause huge brand-value and revenue loss, may lead to social-trolling and worse - dilute your user-base. In this session, using numerous examples, we will explore: Why Automated Visual Validation is essential to be part of your Test Strategy Potential solutions / options for Automated Visual Testing, with pros & cons of each How an AI-powered tool, Applitools Eyes, can solve this problem.

How do you know if you have too much process, too little, or just the right amount? If you ignore process completely, unpredictability and chaos can follow. If you define the process to the nth degree and follow it religiously, the work grinds to a halt. Janet Gregory shares her experiences about how to find the tastiest balance of process and creativity for your projects and organization. She proposes that a formally defined process is sometimes necessary, but that it should be the exception. Explore with Janet the many variables—team size, complexity, criticality, organization structure, and culture—you must assess to find just the right balance. Learn how to make existing processes better by adding visibility to the process, getting team members’ input, and adapting documentation you need. Learn how to transform complicated processes into simpler ones—such as reporting a simple “thumbs up” or “thumbs down”—and go home with new tools to sprinkle on just enough process.

How to Run A/B Tests Successfully by Vice Media Product Manager

Product School

We all know that automation is one of the key enablers for those on the CI-CD journey. Most teams are: • implementing automation • talking about its benefits • up-skilling themselves • talking about tooling • etc. In my experience, unfortunately most of the functional automation that is built is: • not optimal • not fit-for-purpose • does not run fast enough • gives inconsistent feedback, hence unreliable Hence, for the amount of effort invested in implementing automation, are you really getting the value from this activity? In this talk, we will discuss these challenges and why it would lead to poor ROI of automation. More importantly, we will discuss the following techniques to make automation valuable: • know the objective for the automation framework • establish criteria for tests to be automated • design your framework with proper abstraction layers • develop using appropriate design patterns

Does your functional automation really add value?

Slide deck for the talk I did at CodeMotion Madrid 2013. Many organizations turn towards agile to escape failing traditional software development. Due to this increase in popularity, many newcomers enter the field. Without the necessary real-life experience but proudly waving certificates from two days of training. During this challenging talk Sander shows what happens to projects that are coached by ill-experienced coaches, and how to move around anti-patterns as Scrumdamentalism, Dogmatic Agile, Bob-the-Builder or Scrumman.

Leaning on the two Ts is a talk on improving code quality, personal practise and developing good habits using tools and techniques. Attendees of this talk will learn about my experience when learning to use static analysis tools (i.e. SonarQube) and some of its features. In addition also find out how it can be used to improve your code quality and personal practice. A number of tools will also be mentioned and how to include them in your practise. Powerpoint-like presentation sharing information from a perspective higher than just the use of tools, although no runtime implementation or live coding will be performed. Live examples might be shown depending on time constraints. The presentation is definitely for intermediate and experienced Java developers, but also beginner developers who would like to know more about code quality and tools that can be of help. Also for those already using static analysis or other tools in anger or just casually. Especially those who would like to know how to use tools as a medium to learn from.

Development and diffusion of Mobile applications go forward at a tremendous rhythm, due to the always increasing impact of smartphones and other mobile devices on people’s habitudes but many applications are uninstalled and discarded by users when they experience the presence of bugs. Functional testing represents a crucial activity in the context of mobile applications, and there is a large request in both industry and scientific community for mobile testing methodologies, techniques and tools. In particular, since these activities are usually repetitive, expensive and time consuming, there is a remarkable request for automated techniques and tools supporting them. This talk will provide a view of the state-of-the-art on techniques and tools supporting the automation of functional testing of mobile applications, including model based, model learning, search based, user session based and random testing techniques.

Roughly speaking, ‘fuzzing’ is testing without an oracle; e.g., 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 produce these kinds of errors when we’re testing text boxes, but why should text boxes have all the fun? Websites created today are highly interconnected, multi-server applications that include connections to out-of-network servers that are not under our applications’ control. 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 of these scenarios, regardless of whether or not they apply automation to help with that testing. During this session, Paul Grizzaffi explores 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.

The action of the next cyber saga takes place in the mystical lands of the Asia-Pacific region, where the main characters began their digital activities in the middle of 2021 and qualitatively strengthened it in 2022. Corporate espionage, document theft, audio recordings, and data leaks from messaging platforms were all a matter of one day for Dark Pink. Their geographical focus may have started in the Asia-Pacific region, but their ambitions knew no bounds, targeting a European government ministry in a bold move to expand their portfolio. Their victim profile was as diverse as a UN meeting, targeting military organizations, government agencies, and even a religious organization. Because discrimination is not a fashionable agenda. In the world of cybercrime, they serve as a reminder that sometimes the most serious threats come in the most unassuming packages with a pink bow.

Tracing the root cause of a performance issue requires a lot of patience, experience, and focus. It’s so hard that we sometimes attempt to guess by trying out tentative fixes, but that usually results in frustration, messy code, and a considerable waste of time and money. This talk explains how to correctly zoom in on a performance bottleneck using three levels of profiling: distributed tracing, metrics, and method profiling. After we learn to read the JVM profiler output as a flame graph, we explore a series of bottlenecks typical for backend systems, like connection/thread pool starvation, invisible aspects, blocking code, hot CPU methods, lock contention, and Virtual Thread pinning, and we learn to trace them even if they occur in library code you are not familiar with. Attend this talk and prepare for the performance issues that will eventually hit any successful system. About authorWith two decades of experience, Victor is a Java Champion working as a trainer for top companies in Europe. Five thousands developers in 120 companies attended his workshops, so he gets to debate every week the challenges that various projects struggle with. In return, Victor summarizes key points from these workshops in conference talks and online meetups for the European Software Crafters, the world’s largest developer community around architecture, refactoring, and testing.
