This is a presentation given to the DC Agile Software Testing (D-CAST) meetup group that discusses real-world testing challenges. The meetup also included a live demo of SpiraTest and Rapise tools that were used to demonstrate the concepts.

What Are The Requirements?
 We need a set of “requirements” to write our tests, regardless of
whether we’re using an Agile or Waterfall methodology.

There Is Never Enough Time for Testing
 You should not seek to automate 100% of all your tests, because manual
testing and automated testing are more efficient at different things

What About Automation?
• Don’t leave Performance Testing Until the End (*Big Mistake*)
• There are many tools to choose from (JMeter, NeoLoad, LoadRunner, etc.)
• Make sure you tie it into your test management platform

Automated User Interface (UI) Testing
 A lot of business rules, functionality still in the UI layer
 Automate the parts that are stable and time consuming to manually test.
Beware the negative ROI of testing 100% of a highly changing UI. Humans deal
with change better*
(*until AI solves it!)
