STARWest: Use Jenkins For Continuous Load Testing And Mobile Test AutomationClever Moe
Frank Cohen's session from the STARWest (Software Test Automation) conference, October 2014. Building mobile apps and Ajax apps effectively requires a blended approach to test automation. Frank Cohen, CTO/Founder at Appvance, shows how to leverage the best application performance test methodology with test tools to deliver excellent Ajax, iOS and Android apps. Learn how to: * Effectively choose a mobile testing method for Agile shops * Reduce costs by choosing the best tools (Appium, Jenkins, Appvance PerformanceCloud) * Scale-up your mobile testing to thousands of test suites automatically * The mix-and-match mobile testing methodology for just-in-time performance testing
In QA organizations today, a tester must have technical know-how, good communication skills, and attention to detail. We know that a tester’s main responsibility is to test the software that developers develop to ensure that the product meets the quality standards expected of today’s applications. But apart from that, it’s difficult to measure what exactly makes a good tester.
QA managers and their team members are constantly under pressure to test faster and more efficiently, and deliver software with fewer defects. The role and importance of QA in today’s R&D teams is evolving from simply finding defects to protecting the corporate image. As a result, your testers have to be more productive and more efficient, and change their mindset to think about quality over quantity. It’s not just about finding bugs; it’s about continuing to measure and improve, and finding the right bugs to make the end-user experience better.
In this lecture I will share with you some of the key performance indicators (KPIs) that we use to measure our own testing efforts: Percentage of high/critical, escaped defects, Time to test, Defect resolution time, Percentage of rejected defects and what we’ve learned from each of them, and how our team improved its efficiency and productivity as a result.
Join us as we walk you through several technical challenges and solutions around test automation for responsive sites. See live demos around testing responsive web sites using extended test automation capabilities that can increase your test coverage suite.
You'll learn how to:
- Author basic selenium scripts using a powerful recorder for both mobile and web
- Define a robust XPath using an innovative free online tool
- Build a test lab for parallel script Execution on multiple devices and browsers
- Gain high quality analysis post execution with mature digital reporting
Drive Faster Quality Insights through Customized Test Automation - Part 2Perfecto by Perforce
When making the transformation to DevOps and agile, many organizations find it hard to meet tough product release schedules and to cope with large data sets. Triaging failures across multiple platforms has become tedious and time-consuming.
Reporting test-driven development (RTDD) is an innovative approach to agile testing that helps you write and implement tests with the end in mind (i.e., the test reports). RTDD puts structure, governance, and advanced capabilities into your test automation strategy.
RTDD enables the entire product team to collaborate and make data-driven decisions in real time, resulting in test scenarios and test suites that are structured and easy to manage.

Manual Monitoring Slows Deployment and Introduces Risk
How often do you update your applications?
“We deploy multiple times per day” seems to be the new badge of honor for DevOps.
But what you don’t often hear about are the problems caused by process acceleration as a result of continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD).
Rapid introduction of performance problems and errors
Rapid introduction of new endpoints causing monitoring issues
Lengthy root cause analysis as number of services expand
When implementing CI/CD, ANY manual intervention slows down the entire pipeline. You can’t achieve complete CI/CD without automating your monitoring processes (just like you did for integration, testing, and deployment).
The document describes 3 stages for organizations to improve their agility in software development:
Stage 1 focuses on adopting agile practices like Scrum and Kanban to release features faster using story-based requirements and smaller batch sizes. The goal is to reduce lead time from years to weeks.
Stage 2 aims to improve quality by achieving a 90% one-time passing rate through continuous integration, delivery, and deployment. This allows getting feedback and releasing code for each push.
Stage 3 seeks to further increase speed by optimizing value/cost ratios and lead times from weeks to hours through practices like pairing, effective communication, microservices, and simplicity. The overall goal is to continuously deliver value at a lower cost.

DevOps and Continuous Delivery with Visual Studio 2015 and VSTSSolidify
Som utvecklare är det ofta självklart att kodandet är den viktigaste aktiviteten i projektet. Men om inte funktioner för releaseplanering, källkodshantering, deployment och testning finns på plats så är det vanligt att dessa aktiviteter tar en stor del av utvecklingsarbetet.
DevOps och Continuous Delivery är synsätt som vi använder för att säkerställa snabba leveranser av god kvalitet. Microsoft Azure och Visual Studio har mängder av funktioner som underlättar arbetet så att arbetssätt och verktyg samverkar på ett effektivt sätt.
I detta seminarium kommer vi att förklara vad DevOps är för något och hur detta synsätt kan användas för att säkerställa snabba leveranser med god kvalitet. DevOps hjälper oss överbrygga arbetet i utveckling och drift med fokus på att säkerställa leverenspresision och kvalitet, bland annat genom att se till att bra lösningar för applikationsövervakning, felrapportering, paketering och deployment finns på plats.
Den andra delen vi kommer fokusera på är Continuous Delivery. Med den senaste versionen av Visual Studio Release Management visar vi vad Continuous Delivery är genom att sätta upp en komplett lösning som automatiskt tar kod till produktion. I Visual Studio 2015 sviten har vi ett helt nytt byggsystem och väl integrerade lösningar kring release management, deployment och automatiserad testning som gör plattformen förträfflig för att implementera en continuous delivery process. För att så snabbt och enkelt som möjligt tillgodogöra oss dessa koncept kommer vi använda molnplattformarna Azure och Visual Studio Online, med dessa kan vi flytta utvecklingsplattformen till molnet och få helt nya förutsättningar för snabbare releaser.

“Innovate or die” may sound extreme, but it’s the only way to thrive in today’s ever competitive market. Bernd Greifeneder, CTO of Dynatrace, wanted to ensure that the company was relevant 5 years from now so he formed an internal incubator with one goal: transform Dynatrace into a Cloud Native DevOps organization.
The incubator focused on what the company needed to do in order to integrate nascent cloud technologies so that they wouldn’t be left in the dust when the inevitable tipping point to cloud arrives. Transforming into a cloud native company would allow for rapid release cycles and provide an embedded feedback loop.
The Results: Dynatrace now has a 99.998% availability of SaaS Service and can deploy changes within an hour if necessary. In parallel, a new SaaS and managed offering is released every 2 weeks with 170 production updates per day.
Watch this recorded webinar as Bernd Greifeneder shares the lessons learned moving Dynatrace from an on-prem company to one that is cloud native.
Bernd discusses:
• The driving factors that led to the transformation
• The goals that were set back in 2011 towards the engineering team
• How to sell such a transformation project in a large enterprise organization
• How to support this multi-year project from top down without impacting regular operations
• What's next on the innovator's mind

Continuous integration is a software development practice where code changes are frequently integrated and tested to prevent integration issues. It aims to produce a working build as fast as possible. Continuous integration provides benefits like improved testing, more regular releases, better project visibility, and issues being detected earlier compared to approaches with less frequent integration and testing. Tools that can be used for continuous integration include source code management systems like Git, build tools like Maven, continuous integration servers like Jenkins, and automated testing tools.

To Scale Test Automation for DevOps, Avoid These Anti-PatternsDevOps.com
We know that most organizations today are integrating at least some test automation into their CI/CD pipelines. Most start with unit testing – which, while a great place to start, can't give you the level of confidence you need to safely deploy into production.
In this webinar, we'll talk about what other types of testing you should be integrating into the CI/CD pipeline to make test automation more valuable – as well as how to develop an integrated approach using Agile test management. We'll also share best practices for avoiding some of the most common anti-patterns we've identified that make it difficult to scale beyond the unit level. You will learn:
How to get more value out of test automation and minimize the number of defects identified late in the delivery cycle
How to avoid common anti-patterns related to collaboration, test data management, testing in the cloud and more
Best practices for scaling and managing test automation across a diverse toolset using Agile test management
Continuous Integration involves integrating code changes frequently from team members, verifying each integration through automated builds and tests to detect errors early. It helps keep code robust so customers can use it whenever they like if unit tests are exhaustive. Continuous Delivery automates deploying tested code internally for further testing, while Continuous Deployment automates deploying to production after passing tests.
CloudTest Lite is the newest member of SOASTA’s growing line of CloudTest editions. It is an enterprise-class offering that enables rapid test creation and real-time resolution for performance testing early and often throughout the development lifecycle. Delivering internal testing behind the firewall on a single server, customers can execute performance tests of up to 100 concurrent virtual users in development, QA, staging or production. With CloudTest Lite, customers can:
- Test Web and mobile applications, including applications using the latest technologies from HTML5 to REST Web services
- Quickly build tests with visual test creation tools
- Integrate application, system, and network monitoring data
- Analyze results in real-time through an interactive, integrated dashboard
- Easily upgrade to a more scalable CloudTest edition to meet expanding testing requirements
Many businesses are adopting Continuous Delivery because the frequent releases and low risk nature of these releases can provide a competitive cost advantage. This is particularly important in a world where many businesses can only exist and survive and are defined by software based systems.
XP teams try to keep systems fully integrated at all times, and shorten the feedback cycle to minutes and hours instead of weeks or months. The sooner you know, the sooner you can adapt.
Watch our record for the webinar "Continuous Integration" to explore how Azure DevOps helps us in achieving continuous feedback using continuous integration.

QA Fes 2016. Gerlof Hoekstra. E2E Testing the Ministry Of Justice Biometric I...QAFest
One of the core processes at the Ministry Of Justice is the identification of crime suspects and foreigners. For this purpose, all police offices are equipped with so called identification consoles, to scan id documents, take finger prints and photos. Based on these information, the system queries many national and European databases to verify if this person is the person he claims to be, check the residence status and if he was involved in any crime. This presentation shares the experiences of testing this entire chain of systems, end-to-end.
Aspects covered are:
- How to assemble a solid test team
- How to specify test scenarios
- How to manage test data
- How to effectively report to stakeholders
- Lessons learnt
All is illustrated with real-world examples and anecdotes.
The document outlines a test plan template that includes sections for test identifiers, introduction and scope, test items, features to be tested and not tested, pass/fail criteria, test deliverables, tasks, environmental needs, responsibilities, schedule, risks, and approvals. It then provides an example test plan for a mobile application, describing unit, system, and regression testing along with pass/fail conditions and reports. It discusses schedules, risks around device availability and new features, and entry/exit criteria around development completion and resolving critical defects. Deliverables include test plans, cases, and results.
This document discusses test strategy and provides guidance on developing an effective test strategy. It defines different types of tests like unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.

The document discusses strategies for software testing. It recommends starting with unit testing at the component level and then moving outward to integration testing. Different testing techniques are used at different phases, including white box and black box testing. Validation testing ensures that requirements are met before final system testing in the actual operational environment.
This document discusses strategies for testing microservices architectures. It introduces microservices as an architectural style where applications are composed of small, independent services. The key challenges in testing microservices include complexity from distributed systems and inter-service communication. The document advocates a bottom-up testing approach starting with unit tests, then contract, integration, UI, consumer-driven contract, and finally exploratory manual testing. It provides examples of how to structure tests at each level of the test pyramid to comprehensively test microservices applications.
Configuration management (CM) is a field of management that focuses on establishing and maintaining consistency of a system's or product's performance and its functional and physical attributes with its requirements, design, and operational information throughout its life.[1] For information assurance, CM can be defined as the management of security features and assurances through control of changes made to hardware, software, firmware, documentation, test, test fixtures, and test documentation throughout the life cycle of an information system.

End-to-End Test Automation for Both Horizontal and Vertical ScaleErdem YILDIRIM
Slides from my talk at Selenium Camp Test Automation Conference - 2017
https://seleniumcamp.com/talk/end-to-end-test-automation-for-both-horizontal-and-vertical-scale/
Test automation (TA) activity has become a key critical work to guarantee the quality of system under test (SUT) by driving test and also development effort effectively. To bring this efficiency to projects, companies are investing on TA projects in a more motivated way. The question here is how we should design the automation strategy to handle complex TA projects together effectively. It can be done by automating test scenarios as E2E (end to end). Vertical E2E TA consists of; automating Test Data Preparation Phase and Unit, Integration and UI tests. For horizontal E2E TA; UI and Integration test cases, which are automated, designed as integrated real user scenarios. I will tell about the prerequisites, principles and key factors to have E2E automated tests. And also I will share hands on experienced E2E test automation projects that Selenium was the key tool.
Agile testing principles and practices - Anil KaradeIndicThreads
Traditional test processes are not adaptive to extensive changes in software. Agile process emphasizes on ability to adapt to changing business needs, customer collaboration, integrated teams and frequent delivery of business values. Agile is an umbrella term that describes a variety of methods including XP and Scrum.
The talk will discuss pitfalls of the traditional testing process. Traditional testing process happens very late in the SDLC Where as Agile process focuses on test-first approach. The talk will explain benefits of going agile. Principles and practices of agile process will be discussed and agile methodologies Scrum and Extreme Programming will be discussed in detail. Purpose of Scrum, its effectiveness, timings and managing the scrum will be discussed. Some of the practices for XP like Pair Programming, Test Driven Development will be discussed. The Talk will also cover the QA role in agile world. The talk will cover the implementation issues while shifting from traditional to agile process. Talk will also include an interactive game for illustration of concepts.
This document discusses DevOps and continuous testing. It begins with defining DevOps as a process that increases communication between development and operations teams to automate and speed up software delivery. It then covers the benefits of DevOps like faster release cycles and time to market. Several case studies are presented showing how companies used DevOps and continuous testing to reduce testing time, increase coverage, and lower costs. The document concludes with a demo and opportunities for questions.
The world of a software house is a constant search for compromise between quality and costs. In many cases, the cost-cutting starts from the test automation. Then you start to talk about ROI but recognize that numbers are not on your side. We were there and what we have found out is that only a complete change in our approach allows us to find common ground with our clients. I will reveal one detail from the presentation - we are not talking about test automation with clients anymore - as a result we do it more and more.
Are you surprised that success automatically generates new challenges which we further translate into opportunities? We had to reconsider our approach to the test automation environment, internal frameworks and the way we share them between projects, including code ownership, … And again, one simple but unobvious solution allows us to both deliver what we promise and to earn more on our projects.
As we have been reshaping our approach to the test automation, we had to change the way of delivery too. One of the main decisions was skip out the role of test automation engineer (or software developer in test). We decided to go with the whole team approach which is consistent with the way we sell it.

This document discusses test automation and the test automation pyramid. It provides an overview of agile testing principles like delivering working software frequently and prioritizing customer satisfaction. The test automation pyramid is explained as having user interface tests at the top which are more expensive and slower, down to unit tests at the bottom which are faster and cheaper. An example automation strategy is described that moves from UI tests using browsers down to unit tests calling services directly. The pyramid shows how test types provide different levels of technical feedback and have varying costs.
This document summarizes a presentation on test automation. It discusses why test automation is needed such as manual testing taking too long and being error prone. It covers barriers to test automation like lack of experience and programmer attitudes. An automation strategy is proposed, including categories of tests to automate and not automate. Best practices are provided such as having an automation engineer and following software development practices. Specific tools are also mentioned. Good practices and lessons learned are shared such as prioritizing tests and starting better practices with new development.
IT organisations are measured based on how they mitigate risk and ensure changes adhere to compliance policies. High-performing organisations pull Information Security earlier into the development process by automating compliance tests.
Becoming a high-performing, risk averse organisation is about two things:
• How frequently (and automatically & trivially) you can run compliance assessments;
• and once you discover vulnerabilities, how quickly you can then remediate them.
Are you ready to bridge the gap between DevOps & InfoSec?

From Sandbox to Production by Vadym FedorovSoftServe
This document discusses best practices for collaboration between development and operations teams. It notes that historically, development teams did not involve operations teams early enough in the process. This led to projects not being production-ready and knowledge not being transferred effectively. The document recommends keeping development, staging, and production environments as similar as possible. It also advocates using an "infrastructure as code" approach to automate environment setup and deployment. This helps improve project portability and continuity. Prototyping the production environment locally during development allows operations expertise to influence design decisions earlier.
The document discusses Brian Borack's decision making process in choosing Ukraine as the location for a new development center. Key factors considered were criteria from industry research on things like language, costs, infrastructure, and more. Ukraine was chosen over other finalists like China and Russia. Success of the Ukraine center is attributed to maintaining client focus, clear communication, and taking ownership. The main lesson learned was managing expectations at every step.

Consistent toolbox talks are critical for maintaining workplace safety, as they provide regular opportunities to address specific hazards and reinforce safe practices.
These brief, focused sessions ensure that safety is a continual conversation rather than a one-time event, which helps keep safety protocols fresh in employees' minds. Studies have shown that shorter, more frequent training sessions are more effective for retention and behavior change compared to longer, infrequent sessions.
Engaging workers regularly, toolbox talks promote a culture of safety, empower employees to voice concerns, and ultimately reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries on site.
The traditional method of conducting safety talks with paper documents and lengthy meetings is not only time-consuming but also less effective. Manual tracking of attendance and compliance is prone to errors and inconsistencies, leading to gaps in safety communication and potential non-compliance with OSHA regulations. Switching to a digital solution like Safelyio offers significant advantages.
Safelyio automates the delivery and documentation of safety talks, ensuring consistency and accessibility. The microlearning approach breaks down complex safety protocols into manageable, bite-sized pieces, making it easier for employees to absorb and retain information.
This method minimizes disruptions to work schedules, eliminates the hassle of paperwork, and ensures that all safety communications are tracked and recorded accurately. Ultimately, using a digital platform like Safelyio enhances engagement, compliance, and overall safety performance on site. https://safelyio.com/

TEST AUTOMATION
Each test script cares about each possible interface it is supposed to access.
This leads to code duplication, because many scripts access same interfaces.
9. webinar@softserveinc.comwebinar
• Smoke test suite
• Regression test suite
• Never set up 100% automation goal
• Things hard to do manually
• Frequently repeated
SCOPE FOR TEST AUTOMATION
11. webinar@softserveinc.comwebinar
• For Q&D
– just do it
• For S-B:
– Tool selection
– Architecture definition
– Integrations with dev environment
WHAT IT TAKES FOR Q&D OR S-B
