Watch the on demand recording here: https://www.curiositysoftware.ie/hitting-the-right-test-coverage-ci-cd-webinar-testery Testing today too often faces a choice between introducing bottlenecks to software delivery, or allowing an unacceptable level of negative risk. A lack of traceability between tests, changing code, user stories and data leaves testers no way of knowing reliably which tests to run, when. They further have no time to create the tests required for optimal in-sprint coverage, instead being held back by slow and manual test creation. Pipeline configuration and environmental constraints further force testing behind parallelised development, rendering true CI/CD an unobtainable ideal for many organisations. This webinar will set out how you can automatically identify, generate, and execute optimized tests at the speed of CI/CD. Curiosity Software’s CTO, James Walker, and Testery CEO Chris Harbert will discuss how automated test generation and test orchestration integrate into CI/CD pipelines, running the right blend of tests to de-risk continuous deployments. A live demo will then show you how you can execute these targeted tests on-the-fly, setting out how: 1. Model-based test generation dynamically creates the smallest set of tests needed to satisfy different risk profiles on demand. 2. Automated test orchestration triggers the right blend of tests to de-risk deployments, executed across environments and ranging from smoke tests to full regression. 3. Sequentially triggering tests from different repositories targets bugs across APIs, UIs, and back-end systems, delivering rigorously tested software at speed.

Model-Based Testing for ALM Octane: Better tests, built faster
Slides from webinar, co-hosted by the Vivit UK & Ireland Local User Groups on May 27th 2020. James Walker from Curiosity Software Ireland presented on model-based testing for ALM/Octane, setting out how model-based testing enables greater communication, collaboration and end-to-end automation.
For many organizations today, ALM Octane provides the single source of truth for distributed teams. Its scalable test management keeps testers and developers synchronised with granular analysis of testing progress and results, all integrated into CI/CD pipelines and agile methodologies. However, the quality of this testing remains dependent on the quality of the tests fed in and assigned to testers. Testing speed furthermore remains limited by the efficiency of that test creation. Manual, unsystematic test design and a reliance on low-coverage production data will still lead to low coverage tests. Those tests will also remain impossible to maintain in tight iterations, leaving new releases further exposed to damaging bugs. Impeccable test management instead deserves impeccable test design.
This webinar demonstrated how model-based test generation seamlessly maintains optimized test cases and data in ALM Octane, all linked to system requirements and automation frameworks for in-sprint maintenance and test execution. You will discover a requirements-driven approach to test maintenance, in which test cases, scripts and data are maintained as quick-to-build flowcharts are updated. Powerful mathematical algorithms generate the smallest set of tests needed to “cover” the latest system logic, with “just in time” data allocation to ensure that every test has valid test data. Pushing the tests to integrated automation frameworks enables truly “Continuous Testing”, with granular run results synchronized automatically in ALM Octane.

In-sprint testing must tackle three pressing problems:
1. You must know exactly what needs testing before each release. There’s not time to test everything.
2. You need up-to-date and aligned test assets, including test cases, data, scripts and CI/CD artefacts.
3. Test teams must know what needs testing, when, and have on demand access to environments, tests and data.
These problems are near-impossible to crack at organisations who struggle with application complexity, rapid system change, and overly-manual testing processes. Challenges include:
1. Test creation time. Manually creating test cases, data and scripts is slow and unsystematic, resulting in low coverage tests.
2. Slow test maintenance. Changes break tests, with little time in sprints to check test cases, scripts, and data.
3. Knowing when testing is “done”. There is little measurability or peace of mind when systems “go live”.
This webinar will set out how maintaining a “digital twin” of the system under test prioritises testing time AND maintains rigorous tests in-sprint. You will see how:
1. Intuitive flowcharts generate optimised test cases, scripts, and data.
2. Feeding changes into the models maintains up-to-date tests.
3. Pushing the tests to agile test management tooling then makes sure that teams know which tests to run, when, with full traceability and a measurable definition of ‘done’.
James Walker, Curiosity’s Director of Technology, and Sérgio Freire, Head of Product Evangelism for Xray, will set out this cutting-edge approach to in-sprint testing. Günther-Matthias Bär, Test Automation Engineer at Sogeti, will then draw on implementation experience to discuss the value of the proposed approach.Curiosity software Ireland and Perfecto present: achieving in-sprint regressi...

Achieving in-sprint regression- convert continuous feedback into rigorous automated testing - September 9th, 2020
Delivering quality systems at speed demands rigorous testing before each and every release. Unfortunately, robust and reliable automated regression testing is difficult to achieve in short iterations.
Too often, complex processes force testing far behind development. Teams scramble to update and execute complex test suites, leaving system logic and configurations exposed to costly bugs. Model-based test automation (MBTA) can help. With the new integration between TestModeller.io and Perfecto, you can achieve rigorous test creation, maintenance, and execution at scale.
This webinar will present a practical approach to in-sprint regression testing, delivering accurately-built, fully-tested software in short iterations. You will discover how:
1. Visual modelling provides a single source of truth for fast-changing designs and continuous feedback;
2. Model-based test generation creates regression packs that focus on the logic most likely affected by system changes;
3. One click pushes the risk-based tests to Perfecto for cloud-based execution across a full spread of devices and platforms;
4. Feeding advanced test reports back into the central models closes the feedback loop, enabling continuous, in-sprint testing.

Assuring quality pre-release hinges on one question: Did you run the optimal set of tests to de-risk changes made in that iteration? Too often, testing cannot answer this question, due to poor traceability between tests, user stories, code and data. This limited traceability underpins a raft of challenges:
1. Test coverage is unmeasurable, or based on partially-educated guesses.
2. Updating tests is slow, manual, and unstructured, leading to mounting technical debt.
3. Shallow test assertions cannot say whether tests got the right results for the right reasons, especially at the code and database levels.
This webinar will set out how you can measure and consistently hit the right in-sprint test coverage. Curiosity’s CTO, James Walker, and Peter Elger, CEO of fourTheorem, will set out techniques for linking tests, user stories, code and data, generating targeted tests based on changes across the SDLC. You will see how:
1. Automated test generation can target tests based on changing user stories and code.
2. Tracking tests at the code and data level boosts observability and creates close traceability.
3. Database comparisons verify that UI and API tests produce the right results in critical back-end systems.

DevOps and continuous delivery are only as fast as their slowest part. For many organisations, testing remains the major sticking point. It’s viewed as a necessary bottleneck, at fault for delaying releases, yet still unable to catch bugs before they hit production. One persistent, yet often overlooked, barrier is commonly at fault: test data. Data is the place to improve release velocity and quality today.
For many test teams today, test data delays remain their greatest bottleneck. Many still rely on a central team for data provisioning, before spending further time finding and making the data they need for a particular test suite. This siloed “request and receive” approach to data provisioning will always be a game of catch-up. Development is constantly getting faster, releasing systems that require increasingly complex data. Manually finding, securing and copying that data will never be able to keep up.
Delivering quality systems at speed instead requires on demand access to rich and interrelated data. With today’s technologies, that means “allocating” data during CI/CD processes and automated testing, making rich and compliant data available to parallel teams and frameworks automatically.
This webinar will present a pragmatic approach for moving from current test data processes to “just in time” data allocation. Veteran test data innovator, Huw Price, will offer cutting edge techniques for allocating rich test data from a range of sources on-the-fly. This “Test Data Automation” ensures that every test and tester has the data they need, exactly when and where they need it.

"Software Quality in the Service of Innovation in the Insurance Industry"
This document discusses software quality in the insurance industry. It introduces Joe Emison, CTO of Branch Insurance, and discusses how Branch builds software frequently in small increments using test automation. It notes challenges with traditional test automation approaches and outlines Branch's approach using unit tests, API tests, and data-driven end-to-end tests run continuously. The document also discusses how ProdPerfect and Applitools can work together to provide effortless functional and visual testing through data analysis, test case discovery, and visual AI.
What is Low Code Test Automation and its importnce?
Testing becomes critical in the fast-paced world of low code development, where creating a new screen can take just an hour. Traditional testing methods often extend beyond development time, especially with features like drag-click functionality. There's a temptation to skip these time-consuming steps for quicker delivery, but it's essential to remember that low code still involves code, and human errors can occur.
Let's banish "it works on my machine"
Between spending hours (or days!) making sure you can code and test locally and the difficulties of keeping remote environments up to date, sometimes we find ourselves falling back on "It works on my machine!". Getting rid of the difficulties in making new development environments and maintaining testing infrastructure is really key to banishing the dreaded phrase. In this session, we'll take you through some of the recent tools and techs that will not only make your life easier but will mean you never have to say "works on my machine" ever again.

Curiosity and Sauce Labs present - When to stop testing: 3 dimensions of test...Curiosity Software Ireland
The document discusses approaches for determining when to stop testing based on three dimensions of test coverage: system logic, device mix, and system tiers. It advocates targeting tests based on changes across the software development lifecycle to focus testing on at-risk areas. Maintaining a single source of truth and using coverage algorithms can help generate targeted automated tests across user interfaces, APIs and backends in a way that avoids wasteful over-testing or risky under-testing. The presentation concludes with a question and answer section and a call to action to learn more about test modeling and automation approaches.Quality Assurance and its Importance in Software Industry by Aman Shukla
Quality assurance is important for software companies to eliminate bugs and reduce costs. Some of the most expensive software errors in history include a $169 million error for the Mariner 1 spacecraft in 1962 due to a hyphen, and Mt. Gox losing $850,000 in bitcoins in 2014 due to a hacking incident. Companies implement quality assurance practices like maintaining a dedicated security testing team, integrating testing into development using test-driven development, and ensuring all tests are part of continuous integration/delivery pipelines. Testing frameworks like behavior-driven development, test-driven development, and acceptance test-driven development provide better testing approaches and efficiency. Quality assurance is necessary to deliver bug-free applications and satisfy customers.

“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

The quality assurance checklist for progressive testing
Quality assurance (QA) is a strategic way of preventing mistakes and defects in developed products and avoiding problems when delivering products or services to customers. This defect prevention in quality assurance differs subtly from defect detection and rejection in quality control and has been referred to as a shift left since it focuses on quality earlier in the process
The Quality Assurance Checklist for Progressive Testing
This document discusses quality assurance testing for progressive applications. It defines quality assurance as preventing defects through early testing. Progressive testing tests application modules incrementally in a top-down, bottom-up, or hybrid approach. A quality assurance checklist should include unit, regression, performance, security, and installation testing to validate the application and ensure long-term functionality. Comprehensive testing provides benefits like reduced costs, improved customer satisfaction, and increased profits.

The document also discusses reference architectures and case studies for implementing continuous delivery pipelines spanning both on-premise and cloud infrastructures.
Service Virtualization: What Testers Need to Know
Unrestrained access to a trustworthy and realistic test environment—including the application under test and all of its dependent components—is essential for achieving “quality @ speed” with agile, DevOps, and continuous delivery. Service virtualization is an emerging technology that provides teams access to a complete test environment by simulating the dependent components that are beyond their control, still evolving, or too complex to configure in a test lab. Arthur Hicken covers the ABCs of service virtualization—what it is and how it impacts Access, Behavior, Cost, and Speed. Learn how it can help you test more rigorously, avoid parallel development bottlenecks, and isolate application layers for debugging and performance testing in two ways—first, by providing access to dependent system components that would otherwise delay development and testing tasks; and second, by allowing you to alter the behavior of those dependent components in ways that would be impossible with a staged test environment.

Developers today swap components from systems at lightning speed - but how quickly and rigorously can you test these changes? Too often, testing relies on slow and ineffective end-to-end testing, which does not target the impact of changes and leaves systems exposed to costly bugs. Further delays arise as testing lacks sufficient understanding of the environments and data needed to test impacted components, instead waiting for out-of-date and oversized production copies. To compliment and de-risk the incremental changes made during CI/CD, testing must become capable of isolating and targeting impacted components on-the-fly, spinning up just enough data and infrastructure needed to test them.
This webinar will set out how you can componentise complex architectures into “blast radiuses” that isolate the latest system changes, automatically creating virtual sandboxes and synthetic data to test them on demand. DevOps transformation specialist, Rich Jordan, will first discuss how you can create “testing topologies” of your systems. Test data engineer, Toby Richardson, will then set out how you can automatically spin up virtual environments and data to test each cluster of components rigorously. These virtual sandboxes are “rightsized”, isolated and available on demand, enabling targeted and parallelised testing of the latest system changes.

Curiosity Software Presents: Modelling for Continuous Testing
This webinar was hosted live on 28th January 2023. Watch the on demand recording here: https://www.curiositysoftware.ie/modelling-continuous-testing-webinar
Teams striving to “do” DevOps and test continuously often reach for nearby tools, without first fixing their mindset and techniques. This often backfires long-term, as sticking-plaster solutions introduce anti-patterns, uncertainty, and repetition to tight sprints. Monolithic automation frameworks break and need fixing as developers make changes to systems coded using more modern techniques. Further maintenance emerges as tests, data and environments become misaligned. And has anyone stopped to consider how well you understand the system being developed, given its complexity exceeds human comprehension and has been reflected in the bewildering pipelines designed to test it?
This webinar will consider how you can apply a DevOps mindset to Continuous Testing, before exploring tools and techniques to support it. It will discuss how you can componentise vastly complex systems into understandable chunks, while mapping each component to the automation, data and environments needed to test it. You will see how cross-functional teams can combine reusable models to map complex systems, while generating tests, data and environments for in-sprint testing. As complex systems change, updating individual models and automation libraries regenerates rigorous tests, maintaining both the living documentation and aligned artifacts needed for Continuous Testing.

DevOps and continuous delivery are only as fast as their slowest part. For many organisations, testing remains the major sticking point. It’s viewed as a necessary bottleneck, at fault for delaying releases, yet still unable to catch bugs before they hit production. One persistent, yet often overlooked, barrier is commonly at fault: test data. Data is the place to improve release velocity and quality today.
For many test teams today, test data delays remain their greatest bottleneck. Many still rely on a central team for data provisioning, before spending further time finding and making the data they need for a particular test suite. This siloed “request and receive” approach to data provisioning will always be a game of catch-up. Development is constantly getting faster, releasing systems that require increasingly complex data. Manually finding, securing and copying that data will never be able to keep up.
Delivering quality systems at speed instead requires on demand access to rich and interrelated data. With today’s technologies, that means “allocating” data during CI/CD processes and automated testing, making rich and compliant data available to parallel teams and frameworks automatically.
This webinar will present a pragmatic approach for moving from current test data processes to “just in time” data allocation. Veteran test data innovator, Huw Price, will offer cutting edge techniques for allocating rich test data from a range of sources on-the-fly. This “Test Data Automation” ensures that every test and tester has the data they need, exactly when and where they need it.

What is Low Code Test Automation and its importnce?
Testing becomes critical in the fast-paced world of low code development, where creating a new screen can take just an hour. Traditional testing methods often extend beyond development time, especially with features like drag-click functionality. There's a temptation to skip these time-consuming steps for quicker delivery, but it's essential to remember that low code still involves code, and human errors can occur.
Let's banish "it works on my machine"
Between spending hours (or days!) making sure you can code and test locally and the difficulties of keeping remote environments up to date, sometimes we find ourselves falling back on "It works on my machine!". Getting rid of the difficulties in making new development environments and maintaining testing infrastructure is really key to banishing the dreaded phrase. In this session, we'll take you through some of the recent tools and techs that will not only make your life easier but will mean you never have to say "works on my machine" ever again.

Curiosity and Sauce Labs present - When to stop testing: 3 dimensions of test...Curiosity Software Ireland
The document discusses approaches for determining when to stop testing based on three dimensions of test coverage: system logic, device mix, and system tiers. It advocates targeting tests based on changes across the software development lifecycle to focus testing on at-risk areas. Maintaining a single source of truth and using coverage algorithms can help generate targeted automated tests across user interfaces, APIs and backends in a way that avoids wasteful over-testing or risky under-testing. The presentation concludes with a question and answer section and a call to action to learn more about test modeling and automation approaches.Quality Assurance and its Importance in Software Industry by Aman Shukla
Quality assurance is important for software companies to eliminate bugs and reduce costs. Some of the most expensive software errors in history include a $169 million error for the Mariner 1 spacecraft in 1962 due to a hyphen, and Mt. Gox losing $850,000 in bitcoins in 2014 due to a hacking incident. Companies implement quality assurance practices like maintaining a dedicated security testing team, integrating testing into development using test-driven development, and ensuring all tests are part of continuous integration/delivery pipelines. Testing frameworks like behavior-driven development, test-driven development, and acceptance test-driven development provide better testing approaches and efficiency. Quality assurance is necessary to deliver bug-free applications and satisfy customers.

“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

The quality assurance checklist for progressive testing
Quality assurance (QA) is a strategic way of preventing mistakes and defects in developed products and avoiding problems when delivering products or services to customers. This defect prevention in quality assurance differs subtly from defect detection and rejection in quality control and has been referred to as a shift left since it focuses on quality earlier in the process
The Quality Assurance Checklist for Progressive Testing
This document discusses quality assurance testing for progressive applications. It defines quality assurance as preventing defects through early testing. Progressive testing tests application modules incrementally in a top-down, bottom-up, or hybrid approach. A quality assurance checklist should include unit, regression, performance, security, and installation testing to validate the application and ensure long-term functionality. Comprehensive testing provides benefits like reduced costs, improved customer satisfaction, and increased profits.

The document also discusses reference architectures and case studies for implementing continuous delivery pipelines spanning both on-premise and cloud infrastructures.
Service Virtualization: What Testers Need to Know
Unrestrained access to a trustworthy and realistic test environment—including the application under test and all of its dependent components—is essential for achieving “quality @ speed” with agile, DevOps, and continuous delivery. Service virtualization is an emerging technology that provides teams access to a complete test environment by simulating the dependent components that are beyond their control, still evolving, or too complex to configure in a test lab. Arthur Hicken covers the ABCs of service virtualization—what it is and how it impacts Access, Behavior, Cost, and Speed. Learn how it can help you test more rigorously, avoid parallel development bottlenecks, and isolate application layers for debugging and performance testing in two ways—first, by providing access to dependent system components that would otherwise delay development and testing tasks; and second, by allowing you to alter the behavior of those dependent components in ways that would be impossible with a staged test environment.

Your test automation rates are too low to match the speed of CI/CD, while suboptimal coverage is constantly letting bugs slip through. What do you do?
Many organisations treat this as a resourcing problem, often approaching services providers to navigate an automation skills shortage. Yet, hiring more people to perform the same processes is unsustainable, as the demand for automation persists sprint-over-sprint. In-house testing further risks growing dependent on a scripted framework that they can’t easily access or target for coverage. They risk throwing money constantly at external engineers to write repetitive scripts, fix brittle tests, and source test data. These suboptimal processes must be fixed first – people alone cannot fix test automation ROI.
This webinar will explore approaches to sustainable test automation that grows more efficient sprint-over-sprint, while targeting testing to de-risk the latest system changes. Nalin Parbhu, CEO of Infuse, and Curiosity’s George Blundell will draw on automation project experience from a range of different organisations. They will discuss collaborative approaches that automate processes surrounding test execution, while maximising reusability and optimising in-sprint test coverage. You will see solutions to perennial test automation barriers, including:
1. Collaborative test modelling, future proofing automation frameworks by maintaining intuitive living documentation.
2. In-sprint test and data generation, rapidly creating scripts from reusable flowchart models.
3. Automated test maintenance, targeting in-sprint coverage as requirements and systems change.Curiosity and Windocks Present - Turn your production systems into test-ready...

Most organisations today rely on production systems for test data, as 54% of test teams depend on production data copies [1]. Yet, using production data for testing poses challenges in data quality, staleness, and compliance. Production data often includes sensitive information, but lacks data to support diverse test scenarios. Refreshing data via backups is furthermore slow, creating out-of-date and costly test environments. There is additionally never enough data for parallel teams and tests, introducing constraints and test failures that derail rapid software delivery.
This webinar will set out how production databases can be made “test ready” and delivered on demand, enabling rapid, rigorous and compliant testing. Veteran test data inventor, Huw Price, will team up with Paul Stanton, a database virtualisation expert and co-founder of Windocks. They will set out a roadmap for making complete and compliant data available on-the-fly during rapid software development and CI/CD. This strategy will include:
1. Data analysis, profiling, and archaeology, understanding the location of sensitive information and coverage gaps across environments.
2. Just in time data “find and makes”, automatically finding and making complete and compliant data during manual testing, test automation, and CI/CD.
3. On demand database virtualisation and orchestration, serving low-cost virtual data copies in parallel and in seconds.

In 2022, test data management remains one of the greatest costs, risks, and bottlenecks across many SDLCs. The use of potentially sensitive production data is rising, at a time when nearly half of organisations admit that testers don’t always comply with security and privacy regulations [1]. Around half of organisations further report that they don’t have sufficient data for all their testing, and half again that they cannot access the right test environments in a timely manner. Test data today appears to be the place to reduce costly compliance risks, unblock stifled releases, and deliver quality at speed in 2022.
This webinar will outline how organisations today can capitalise on emerging trends and technologies to resolve perennial test data challenges. Antoine Aymer, Chief Editor of the 2021-2022 “State of AI Applied to Quality Engineering” report, will walk you through the key insights of this landmark research. Test data veteran, Huw Price, will then highlight how evolutions in software delivery have added complexity to test data challenges, but also often present the key to resolving these test data needs. A live demo will then highlight techniques for making complete and compliant data available on-the-fly, including applications of AI to automate quality gates across the SDLC.

Each time a tester or developer today needs new data, they must complete the world’s hardest jigsaw puzzle. They hunt slowly for the interrelated data needed to fulfil diverse test scenarios, searching across systems ranging from mainframes to microservices. The intricate data must align perfectly and fulfil every test scenario, as otherwise tests fail when there is no bug, and data undermines test coverage. The complex data should furthermore contain no commercially or personally sensitive data, which should be kept away from less-secure test environments.
To achieve true agility and quality at speed, a new and automated approach is needed to finding and making data during testing, development and CI/CD.
This webinar will set out a strategy for moving from manual data lookups to on-the-fly data allocation. You will see how techniques used today for finding data can be standardised and automated, rapidly building a catalogue of reusable data “finds”. Manual or automated tests can then parameterise and reuse these automated finds whenever they need data, with integrated data generation to create missing combinations on-the-fly. The result? Complete, consistent, and compliant data is allocated automatically to parallel testers, developers and frameworks, saving the time that’s too often lost manually finding and making complex data.Curiosity Software and RCG Global Services Present - Solving Test Data: the g...

Outdated test data management practices are today a sinkhole for testing and development time. They stifle release velocity, risk costly legislative non-compliance, and yet still do not provide the data needed to protect releases from damaging bugs. To achieve true quality at speed, the test data paradigm must shift. Enterprises must move beyond slowly copying large sets of production data to a limited number of out-of-date test environments.
In this webinar, Global Head of Quality Engineering at RCG, Niko Mangahas, draws on extensive project experience to define the test data challenges facing enterprises today. He then helps you identify the right test data solution for your organisation, setting out principles for effective requirements gathering and program design. Niko then hands over to veteran test data inventor, Huw Price, who demoes some of the latest techniques for making complete and compliant data available on-the-fly during parallel testing, development, and CI/CD.Curiosity and EPI-USE Labs present - Testing across SAP and non-SAP systems: ...

SAP is the heart of operations at many enterprises today, combining with best of breed solutions to enable cutting-edge IT strategies. This integrated architecture introduces test data complexity, often slowing down innovation across related systems. Delays in data provisioning can derail upgrades and migrations, as testers and developers require data that links across SAP and non-SAP systems. However, creating anonymised, consistent data for SAP and non-SAP testing is time-consuming and costly. Test data bottlenecks in turn force many organisations to choose between letting their systems fall behind innovation, or spreading sensitive data across less-secure test environments.
To keep pace with new innovation, data provisioning must match the speed, volume and variety demanded by automation frameworks and CI/CD pipelines. Organisations must embed SAP data management within a modern DevOps architecture.
This webinar explores a strategy for moving from masking data for SAP and non-SAP systems, to making complete and compliant data available at the speed of automated testing and CI/CD. Veteran test data inventor Huw Price and SAP data management expert Paul Hammersley will discuss how organisations can continuously test updates made across SAP and integrated systems. You will discover how:
1. EPI-USE Labs’ SAP test data solution (Data Sync Manager) and Curiosity’s Test Data Automation consistently mask data across SAP and non-SAP systems.
2. Data generation, coverage analysis, and cloning ensure that every framework and parallel test team has access to the data it needs.
3. On-the-fly data allocation provides delay-free data as tests run in automation frameworks and CI/CD pipelines.

Banks who rely on Oracle FLEXCUBE for their agile core banking infrastructure need agile testing practices which match the speed of FLEXCUBE innovation.
Too often, manual testing processes combine with a lack of niche FLEXCUBE knowledge, delaying upgrades and migrations in core banking. The time spent creating, executing, and maintaining complex FLEXCUBE tests then forces banks to make the undesirable choice between:
1. Updating core banking infrastructure at the risk of costly bugs;
2. Letting core banking systems fall behind the latest innovation and security updates.
The winners in this situation are the banks and fintech start-ups who can keep up with the latest in core banking innovation.
This webinar will set out how banks with substantial legacy infrastructure can keep pace with core banking innovation. It will showcase how risk-based test generation allows banks to enjoy all the innovation of new FLEXCUBE releases, while protecting custom FLEXCUBE implementations from bugs, downtime, and data breaches. You will discover how:
Model-based test automation generates optimised FLEXCUBE tests and data from flowcharts that are quick-to-build and easy-to-maintain.
The intuitive flowcharts reduce the need for niche FLEXCUBE knowledge in-house, visually assembling test scenarios from reusable components, UI scans, and imported tests.
Automated test generation creates rigorous tests for custom FLEXCUBE implementations, rigorously testing without delaying critical FLEXCUBE upgrades and migrations.
The visual flows maintain living documentation of core banking processes, enabling business analysts, testers, and developers to innovate core banking systems with confidence.

For testers under-pressure to automate, web UIs seem like the perfect place to start. There’s free web drivers, the logic maps clearly to business language, and the leap from test case to script appears relatively small. Yet, UI test automation frequently lags far behind UI changes, exposing an organisation’s face to costly bugs. There are many reasons why teams today struggle to automate UI testing quickly enough:
1. Finding reliable identifiers in impenetrable DOM structures is slow and laborious.
2. UI test scripts are highly repetitive and time-consuming to write.
3. “UI” testing cannot stop at the UI and must dive into complex UIs and back-end rules.
4. UIs are not as stable as thought, and brittle tests require maintenance after every change.
This webinar will showcase a rapid, rigorous, and easy-to-adopt approach to building maintainable automated tests. James Walker, Curiosity’s Director of Technology, will be joined by Sanjay Kumar, inventor of SelectorsHub and ChroPath. They will showcase tools and techniques for testing fast-changing UIs in short iterations. You will see how:
1. SelectorsHub rapidly identifies UI elements and logic to test, replacing time spent hunting through complex UI code.
2. Converting the scans into intuitive flowcharts generates custom scripts for open source and commercial frameworks, bringing coders and non-coders into close collaboration.
3. Updating the central flows regenerates a complete set of up-to-date tests, throwing away broken tests to rapidly test fast-changing systems.
4. Rapid test maintenance enables in-sprint testing, targeting regression testing to find bugs when they are quicker and easier to fix.

A demo showed generating tests from process models and integrating them into test management and automation tools. Benefits included increased coverage, speed, and productivity as well as democratized testing.Development Has Moved On: Test data needs to catch up with containers
*** Watch the on demand webinar recording here - https://curiositysoftware.ie/resources/test-data-development-webinar/ ***
A Curiosity Software and Windocks webinar, presented live on the 2nd of February, 2021. Now available to stream on demand!
Test data “provisioning” is lagging far behind the sophistication of today’s systems. Development has shifted to containerisation and microservices, rapidly ripping out and replacing reusable components. Testers must also rapidly rip-and-replace versioned components in their environments, while retaining complex data relationships between shifting technologies. The deployed data must furthermore be diverse, compliant and compact, fulfilling all positive and negative scenarios in the shortest test runs possible.
Sound like an impossible requirement? While it is, if you rely on making costly physical copies of low-variety production data. “Test data management” instead needs to embrace the world of containers and APIs, along with the pipelines that enable developers to deliver so rapidly. We need a new approach to testing massively complex systems in short sprints.
This webinar will showcase how Test Data Automation combines with containerised data cloning, automatically deploying versioned virtual databases as tests are created and run. Huw Price, Managing Director of Curiosity Software Ireland, and Paul Stanton, co-founder and Vice President of Windocks, will show you how:
1. Test Data Automation provides complete and compliant data on demand, delivering test-ready data that is masked and enhanced with synthetic data.
2. Parallel test teams and frameworks leverage fresh containers, without slow data provisioning or complex configuration.
3. Organisations regain full visibility and control over test data, while enjoying the added affordability of database virtualisation.

The Broken Promise of Test Automation: Why are we still hand-cranking tests?
The Broken Promise of Test Automation: Why are we still hand-cranking tests?Curiosity Software Ireland
A webinar hosted by Curiosity Software Ireland on November 10th 2020. Watch the on demand recording here: https://opentestingplatform.curiositysoftware.ie/broken-promise-test-automation-webinar
Let’s face it - in this day and age you can’t test everything. Our environments have become too complex, while the allocated time for the construction and execution of tests is shorter than ever. With these constraints, two pressing questions arise:
• Are we building tests that truly matter for the release?
• Are we optimizing our regression suites in light of the changing application?
Believe it or not, this webinar is NOT a pitch about how AI or ML will magically solve your problems. Instead, Huw Price, Managing Director of Curiosity and Daniel Howard, Senior Researcher at Bloor Research, will offer a definitive plan for evolving sustainable automation. They will map new and emerging techniques for achieving in-sprint testing, including:
1. Automation that extends far beyond test execution;
2. Optimisation techniques for targeting testing exactly where it’s needed;
3. Methods for capitalising on data created by integrated DevOps toolchains.
Curiosity Director of Technology, James Walker, will be on hand to provide demos of the key technologies identified by Huw and Daniel. You will come away with actionable guidance for optimizing your testing, while tackling the time-intensive processes that test automation has introduced.
Join Huw, Daniel and James to see how testing can move beyond hand-cranking tests!

Visual modelling is nothing new in software development, from the diagrams today drawn in sprint meetings, to defined methodologies like systems modelling, visual task analysis and UCML. Applied to perennial challenges in testing, modelling can accelerate test creation, reduce test maintenance time, and help define upfront the complex data needed in testing. In their fullest application, models bring stakeholders across the delivery lifecycle into close collaboration: System designers can formulate requirements in visual models, with engineers rapidly developing and testing in parallel from the accurate specifications.
Jim Hazen is a 25-year veteran of automation in testing, who in recent years has developed a keen interest in modelling for testing and development. Jim will discuss the practical value of different modelling approaches live on this webinar, illustrated through real-world experiences and stories. Posing the question of whether any one approach can realise the full potential of modelling, Jim will hand over to Curiosity Director of Technology James Walker. James will provide a practical demonstration of cutting-edge techniques in model-based test and requirements design, discussing how they are helping organisations design, develop and build quality software in short iterations.
Test data automation: delivering quality data at speed
*** Watch the on demand webinar recording here - https://curiositysoftware.ie/resources/test-data-automation-free-webinar/ ***
Rigorous testing at the speed of today’s release cycles requires constant access to “good” data. That means data combinations with which to execute every positive and negative test scenario, available exactly when and where parallel test teams need it. The rich data must also be prepared at the speed with which parallelised automation burns through it and must be available on tap for each and every unique test case.
Rigorously testing at the speed of agile and DevOps therefore requires a new TDM paradigm, moving beyond just the logistics of “subset, mask, and clone” provisioning.
This interactive webinar introduced a new paradigm in test data, one that is test-driven, self-service and automated. This new paradigm, “Test Data Automation” embeds a complete range of standardized TDM utilities within CI/CD pipelines and test automation frameworks, preparing complete test data “just in time” as tests are generated or executed. The automated “find and makes” provide the right data, for the right test, in the right environment, without any delays or gaps in the test data coverage.
Join Huw Price, a test data veteran with 35 years’ experience, to discover a practical strategy for moving towards “test data automation”. The live demo and discussion will show you how:
1. Test data holds the keys to make or break testing, touching upon agility, quality, and compliance;
2. Test data management has evolved from copying raw production data, to masking and subsetting, and now to "allocating" rich data combinations on the fly;
3. The rise of agile, automation, and GDPR present new test data challenges, that "logistical" approaches to TDM are often poorly equipped to tackle;
4. Today, on-the-fly data allocation can find, make and prepare data as tests are created and executed within CI/CD pipelines.

To Open Banking and Beyond: Developing APIs that are Resilient to every new I...Curiosity Software Ireland
Watch the live webinar on-demand here -
https://curiositysoftware.ie/resources/to-open-banking-and-beyond-api-testing-free-webinar/
With over 35 APIs involved in an average business transaction, API innovation is critical for every organisation. However, microservices and fast-changing components can quickly create overwhelming complexity for architects, developers, and testers. They produce complex arrays of API calls, often leading to QA bottlenecks – or, worse, business-critical systems that have been released with undetected flaws in their APIs.
APIs often also work with sensitive data, making it essential to remove risk from API releases. Otherwise, initiatives like Open Banking can turn from an opportunity to a compliance nightmare. The challenge is that the time available to test APIs is only becoming shorter, while the complexity of the systems is increasing.
API testing must become both more iterative and more granular. This webinar will show why enterprises across banking, retail, telecoms, and more are combining Model-Based Testing and API Test Automation to overcome API complexity. You will see how Test Modeller builds rigorous API tests automatically in-sprint, pushing them to API Fortress for execution. This approach enables QA teams to ensure that APIs deliver business value, building seamlessly on the skills and techniques they use today.
Key takeaways:
1. Organizations investing in APIs must maintain API resilience, reliability, performance, and security.
2. Companies can significantly decrease risk while accelerating releases by combining model-based testing with complete test data management.
3. Test Modeller enables model-based API test automation, using coverage algorithms to create functional and data-driven API tests.
4. Testers can reuse functional API tests in API Fortress as integration tests, load tests, and functional uptime monitors with unlimited deployment and no metered usage fees.Five reasons to model during QA
Model-based testing offers several advantages over traditional documentation-based approaches to quality assurance. It allows testers to create executable models that can automatically generate test cases and scripts, focusing testing on high-risk areas. When the software changes, the model can automatically update dependent tests. Using the same models across teams provides a central point of reference that brings business and development groups into alignment. Modeling catches design flaws earlier in the development process compared to traditional testing approaches.

Model-Based Testing is one of the hottest trends in test automation, and this webinar will show you why.
Modelling can lift the barriers preventing enterprise-wide test automation adoption. This webinar will present the latest tools and techniques capable of achieving automation success. You will see how:
1. Automated test generation replaces slow and repetitious scripting.
2. Easy-to-maintain flowchart models provide a simple way to build tests for a wide-range of frameworks.
3. Testers without coding skills can build tests rapidly, re-using code created by a core of skilled engineers.
4. Requirements including Gherkin specifications can be converted automatically to flowchart models, rapidly moving from new user stories to automated tests.
5. “Just in time” data resolution during test execution ensures that there is always up-to-date, valid data for every automated test.
6. “Single pane of glass” automation significantly reduces test maintenance effort, while maximising the value of test automation frameworks.
These technologies enable organizations to work from existing islands of quality automation, moving to enterprise-wide test automation. You can empower every tester at your organization to become an effective automation engineer. Sound too good to be true? Come and see for yourself! More from Curiosity Software Ireland (18)

Measures in SQL (SIGMOD 2024, Santiago, Chile)
SQL has attained widespread adoption, but Business Intelligence tools still use their own higher level languages based upon a multidimensional paradigm. Composable calculations are what is missing from SQL, and we propose a new kind of column, called a measure, that attaches a calculation to a table. Like regular tables, tables with measures are composable and closed when used in queries.
SQL-with-measures has the power, conciseness and reusability of multidimensional languages but retains SQL semantics. Measure invocations can be expanded in place to simple, clear SQL.
To define the evaluation semantics for measures, we introduce context-sensitive expressions (a way to evaluate multidimensional expressions that is consistent with existing SQL semantics), a concept called evaluation context, and several operations for setting and modifying the evaluation context.

- 12. © Curiosity Software Ireland Ltd. 2022 What about coverage? Components Many logical combinations. Modules E2E scenarios Combine Customer Apps Business Apps (CRM, ERP…) APIs Databases Third party systems Systems More tests than you can run in-sprint. Elements/objects/ endpoints/data Combinatorial explosion 10x10x10x10 = 10,000 possible test scenarios to script and maintain Combine Combine
- 13. © Curiosity Software Ireland Ltd. 2022 Alternatives to scripted frameworks? Record/Playback No Code Keyword-driven Brittle tests need re-recording SUT is limited by tooling SUT is limited by tooling Locked into limited actions Fiddley keyword config Scripting to expand keywords Designing/recording tests remains linear, time-consuming and unsystematic What about coverage?!
