Outdated test data management practices are today a sinkhole for testing and development time.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 Enterprises must move beyond slowly copying large sets of production data to a limited number of out-of-date test environments.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.

The data warehouse is intended to support analysis by making the right data available to the right people in a timely fashion. But conditions change all the time, and when data doesn’t keep up with the business, analysts quickly turn to workarounds. This leads to ungoverned and largely un-managed side projects, which trade short-term wins for long-term trouble. One way to keep everyone happy is by creating an integrated environment that pulls data from all sources, and is capable of automating both the model development and delivery of analyst-ready data.
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to hear data warehousing pioneer and Analyst Barry Devlin as he explains the critical components of a successful data warehouse environment, and how traditional approaches must be augmented to keep up with the times. He’ll be briefed by WhereScape CEO Michael Whitehead, who will showcase his company’s data warehousing automation solutions. He’ll discuss how a fast, well-managed and automated infrastructure is the key to empowering faster, smarter, repeatable decision making.

9 Hyperion Performance Myths and How to Debunk ThemDatavail
In this presentation, we explore and debunk 9 misconceptions of Hyperion Performance Management that are keeping you from effectively managing your platform.
According to IDC “By 2020, consumption-based procurement in data centers will have eclipsed traditional procurement. Reducing waste, risk, and cost are goals of every IT organization. But because it’s hard to predict how much capacity you might need, the traditional model of purchasing infrastructure upfront often results in provisioning capacity that’s too high or too low. By moving to a consumption-based Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model and eliminating over provisioning, Forrester found that HPE customers experienced a 30% savings. At this dinner you'll hear how you can utilize HPE GreenLake consumption services to save IT costs while maintaining in-house control of mission-critical workloads and creating a usage based on-site compelling on-premises cloud experience.

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.

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.

This webinar was co-hosted by Curiosity and Lemontree on April 22nd, 2021. Watch the webinar on demand - https://opentestingplatform.curiositysoftware.ie/data-breaks-devops-webinar
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.

Businesses and individuals around the world are experiencing the impact of a global pandemic. With many workers and potential shoppers still sequestered, COVID-19 is proving to have a momentous impact on the global economy. Regardless of the current situation and post-pandemic era, real-time data becomes even more critical to healthcare practitioners, business owners, government officials, and the public at large where holistic and timely information are important to make quick decisions. It enables doctors to make quick decisions about where to focus the care, business owners to alter production schedules to meet the demand, government agencies to contain the epidemic, and the public to be informed about prevention.
In this on-demand session, you will learn about the capabilities of data virtualization as a modern data integration technique and how can organisations:
- Rapidly unify information from disparate data sources to make accurate decisions and analyse data in real-time
- Build a single engine for security that provides audit and control by geographies
- Accelerate delivery of insights from your advanced analytics project
Recent Gartner and Capgemini studies predict only around 25% of data science projects are successful and only around 15% make it to full-scale production. Of these, many degrade in performance and produce disappointing results within months of implementation. How can focusing on the desired business outcomes and business use cases throughout a data science project help overcome the odds?

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.

Putting the Ops in DataOps: Orchestrate the Flow of Data Across Data PipelinesDATAVERSITY
With the aid of any number of data management and processing tools, data flows through multiple on-prem and cloud storage locations before it’s delivered to business users. As a result, IT teams — including IT Ops, DataOps, and DevOps — are often overwhelmed by the complexity of creating a reliable data pipeline that includes the automation and observability they require.
The answer to this widespread problem is a centralized data pipeline orchestration solution.
Join Stonebranch’s Scott Davis, Global Vice President and Ravi Murugesan, Sr. Solution Engineer to learn how DataOps teams orchestrate their end-to-end data pipelines with a platform approach to managing automation.
Key Learnings:
- Discover how to orchestrate data pipelines across a hybrid IT environment (on-prem and cloud)
- Find out how DataOps teams are empowered with event-based triggers for real-time data flow
- See examples of reports, dashboards, and proactive alerts designed to help you reliably keep data flowing through your business — with the observability you require
- Discover how to replace clunky legacy approaches to streaming data in a multi-cloud environment
- See what’s possible with the Stonebranch Universal Automation Center (UAC)
Bridging the Gap: from Data Science to ProductionFlorian Wilhelm
A recent but quite common observation in industry is that although there is an overall high adoption of data science, many companies struggle to get it into production. Huge teams of well-payed data scientists often present one fancy model after the other to their managers but their proof of concepts never manifest into something business relevant. The frustration grows on both sides, managers and data scientists.
In my talk I elaborate on the many reasons why data science to production is such a hard nut to crack. I start with a taxonomy of data use cases in order to easier assess technical requirements. Based thereon, my focus lies on overcoming the two-language-problem which is Python/R loved by data scientists vs. the enterprise-established Java/Scala. From my project experiences I present three different solutions, namely 1) migrating to a single language, 2) reimplementation and 3) usage of a framework. The advantages and disadvantages of each approach is presented and general advices based on the introduced taxonomy is given.
Additionally, my talk also addresses organisational as well as problems in quality assurance and deployment. Best practices and further references are presented on a high-level in order to cover all facets of data science to production.
With my talk I hope to convey the message that breakdowns on the road from data science to production are rather the rule than the exception, so you are not alone. At the end of my talk, you will have a better understanding of why your team and you are struggling and what to do about it.

The Shifting Landscape of Data IntegrationDATAVERSITY
Enterprises and organizations from every industry and scale are working to leverage data to achieve their strategic objectives — whether they are to be more profitable, effective, risk-tolerant, prepared, sustainable, and/or adaptable in an ever-changing world. Data has exploded in volume during the last decade as humans and machines alike produce data at an exponential pace. Also, exciting technologies have emerged around that data to improve our abilities and capabilities around what we can do with data.
Behind this data revolution, there are forces at work, causing enterprises to shift the way they leverage data and accelerate the demand for leverageable data. Organizations (and the climates in which they operate) are becoming more and more complex. They are also becoming increasingly digital and, thus, dependent on how data informs, transforms, and automates their operations and decisions. With increased digitization comes an increased need for both scale and agility at scale.
In this session, we have undertaken an ambitious goal of evaluating the current vendor landscape and assessing which platforms have made, or are in the process of making, the leap to this new generation of Data Management and integration capabilities.
It is a fascinating, explosive time for enterprise analytics.
It is from the position of analytics leadership that the mission will be executed and company leadership will emerge. The data professional is absolutely sitting on the performance of the company in this information economy and has an obligation to demonstrate the possibilities and originate the architecture, data, and projects that will deliver analytics. After all, no matter what business you’re in, you’re in the business of analytics.
The coming years will be full of big changes in enterprise analytics and Data Architecture. William will kick off the fourth year of the Advanced Analytics series with a discussion of the trends winning organizations should build into their plans, expectations, vision, and awareness now.

Curiosity Software Presents: Isolating blast radiuses for testing - How to no...Curiosity Software Ireland
This webinar was hosted live on 28th January 2023. Watch the on demand recording here: https://www.curiositysoftware.ie/isolating-blast-radiuses-for-testing-webinar
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Curiosity and EPI-USE Labs present - Testing across SAP and non-SAP systems: ...Curiosity Software Ireland
This webinar was co-hosted by Curiosity and EPI-USE Labs on October 19th, 2021. Watch the on demand recording: https://opentestingplatform.curiositysoftware.ie/testing-sap-non-sap-systems-webinar
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.

A definition of “done” is one of the hardest and most valuable things to come by in testing. Faced with fast-changing, massively complex systems, there’s no time to test everything in short sprints. Even defining “everything” is hard enough, given the vast and often unknown system logic, user devices, and integrated technologies that must be factored into rigorous testing. Too often, a lack of measurability combines with unsystematic test design, forcing testers to guess or hope that testing is “done”. This introduces uncertainty with every rapid release. Tests leave logic exposed to costly bugs and performance issues, while untested devices warp UIs and user experiences.
This webinar will set out how testing can rapidly identify, generate, and run the tests needed to de-risk rapid software releases. It will define functional test coverage in three dimensions, considering the system logic and data that must be tested, the optimal device mix, and the need to test across different system tiers. James Walker, Curiosity’s Director of Technology, and Marcus Merrell, Senior Director of Technology Strategy at Sauce Labs, will then demonstrate how in-sprint testing can target tests based on this multifaceted measure. You will see how:
1. Generating optimised tests, data and scripts from visual flowcharts avoids slow test creation and maintenance, while testing system logic rigorously based on time and risk.
2. Pushing tests to cloud-based device labs minimises environment and device limitations, enabling the right mix for each stage of the testing lifecycle.
3. Updating central flows regenerates tests in-sprint, targeting impacted and risky logic across APIs, UIs and back-end systems.

This live webinar took place on July 13th 2021. Watch the session on demand: https://resources.curiositysoftware.ie/oracle-flexcube-testing-webinar
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.
Curiosity and Xray present - In sprint testing: Aligning tests and teams to r...Curiosity Software Ireland
This webinar was co-hosted by Xray and Curiosity Software on 18th May 2021. Watch the on demand recording here: https://opentestingplatform.curiositysoftware.ie/xray-in-sprint-testing-webinar
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.

Learn how Infuse, Kumoco and Curiosity enabled rigorous in-sprint test automation at a large telecommunications company. BAs, Testers and Developers at the telco now collaborate to build visual flows of the system logic in-sprint. The easy-to-maintain diagrams generate complete SIT and E2E tests for the latest business processes, rigorously testing before every rapid release.
To overcome siloes and overly-manual processes, Infuse, Kumoco and Curiosity built a “telecommunications-company-in-a-box”, a digital twin of the system under test. Artifacts created by BA’s were imported to build complete business flows, providing a single source of truth for the systems in scope. The flows were then used to generate rigorous tests in seconds, and were further used by developers and testers to build CI/CD assets. This generated a complete set of artifacts across the SDLC, while allowing every stakeholder to use their favourite tools.
Join Infuse, Kumoco and Curiosity live to see this cutting-edge approach to in-sprint design, development and testing in action. You will discover how:
1. Slow and siloed system design and test creation were replaced by test generation for useMango, with matching test cases generated in Jira.
2. Risk-based test generation identified exactly what to test in short sprints, overcoming the challenge of having more in a system than you could ever test in-sprint.
3. The rigorous automation is now maintained in-sprint, updating tests across tools as the business customize processes in BPMN-style diagrams.
4. The business know that their changes will be validated rigorously before each release, optimizing test generation for time and risk and defining reliably when testing is ‘done’.

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.

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.

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.

Cypress VP of Engineering Gleb Bahmutov joined seasoned model-based testing inventor James Walker, offering an in-depth exploration of the value of model-based testing for Cypress. Curiosity Solutions Architect Harry Burn was also on hand to draw on wide-reaching experience in implementing effective model-based test automation solutions.
You will come away from this lively discussion with an understanding of the value of model-based testing for Cypress, along with practical steps for realising its value today. You will see how modelling:
1. Automates test creation for existing frameworks, removing scripting bottlenecks;
2. Minimises test maintenance for in-sprint regression;
3. Ensures that every Cypress test comes with the accurate data it needs.
A live demo will show you how visual modelling also transforms delivery practices beyond test design and maintenance. You will discover how:
1. System designers, developers and QA teams can collaborate seamlessly from visual requirements models;
2. Non-coders can generate tests and data from the visual models, re-using code from Cypress frameworks;
3. Engineers waste no time copying, pasting and updating boilerplate code, focusing only on scripts for new and interesting logic;
4. Developers and QA teams work fully in parallel, developing from accurate specifications and rigorously testing in-sprint.

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.
Sound too good to be true? Join James Walker and Julius Mong to discover how you can get started today!

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.

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.

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.
