Continuous Testing vs Test Automation Share on Facebook Share on LinkedIn Sha...DevOps.com
The past few years have brought a sea change in the way applications are architected, developed, and consumed—increasing both the complexity of testing and the business impact of software failures. How can the DevTest community keep pace with modern application delivery, given the trends that impact both architectures (cloud, microservices, and APIs) and processes (DevOps, agile, and continuous delivery)? This is where continuous testing comes in.
Watch this webinar to discover why and how continuous testing is different from traditional test automation. You will learn:
The three main differences between continuous testing and test automation
Where traditional test automation falls short in modern development and delivery processes
What’s needed to address each of the three key elements of continuous testing

Serena Webcast: Accelerating Application Delivery with Continuous TestingSerena Software
Continuous delivery significantly improves the quality of software and compresses the development lifecycle to meet the demands of today’s business. Traditionally organizations have developed and delivered software in a linear fashion. Rather than integrating code at the end of a project or even a sprint, continuous delivery allows for code to be tested and integrated throughout the project, reducing complexity and risk. We will discuss how continuous testing can ensure quality throughout the application lifecycle from development, testing, release and actual user experiences. In this webinar you will learn:
1. How to create a continuous load and performance testing framework
2. How to trigger testing every time code changes are delivered
3. How to implement automated functional testing of mobile apps
4. How to use leverage cloud computing for load testing and performance testing
Unrestrained access to a trustworthy and realistic test environment—including the application under test (AUT) 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 DevTest teams access to a complete test environment by simulating the dependent components that are beyond your control, still evolving, or too complex to configure in a test lab.
Join us for a live webinar on Service Virtualization and how it impacts software testing Access, Behavior, Cost, and Speed.
Learn the basics of Service Virtualization, including how it can help your organization:
Provide access to a complete test environment including all critical dependent system components
Alter the behavior of those dependent components in ways that would be impossible with a staged test environment—enabling you to test earlier, faster, and more completely
Isolate different layers of the application for debugging and performance testing

Critical Preflight Checks for Your EPM ApplicationsDatavail
The environment which houses your business critical EPM applications is complex.
Maybe as complex as the cockpit of an aircraft. Just as a pilot might not be able to build or fix everything on their plane, you might be using applications but not know how to build or fix everything that’s being used. This shouldn’t stop you from doing a pre-flight check to ensure that all your Hyperion systems are running properly and set for you and your end users.
Let’s talk about some different strategies to achieve this and give you the confidence in your systems so that you can know when things are running well—or more importantly, when they need attention before takeoff.

CWIN17 Toulouse / Safe 4.5 and agile devops-ca technologies-r.bajulCapgemini
Though the name DevOps didn’t exist until fairly recently, the need for
partnership between development and operations teams has always been
around. Today DevOps has shifted from an emerging movement to a critical
component of most enterprises’ digital transformation strategy.
Same for Agility, with the partnership between business and development
and with the fairly recent and emerging Agility@Scale culture, frameworks and
practices.
And in the Digital Transformation and Innovations context where the Digital
Experience is the new competitive battleground, it’s no longer enough to simply
practice Agile development.
Quite simply, IT organizations need to establish a Modern Software Factory,
that combines Agility@Scale, DevOps practices, and tooling in the right ways. A
Modern Software Factory that will help organization adapt to change together
with improving quality, time-to-market and economic KPIs.
But how to consider the very dynamic Agile and DevOps tooling offerings?
What are the useful Best Practices? How to efficiently build a Modern Software
Factory? What’s new in SAFe 4.5 Agile@Scale Framework that helps? These are
some of the questions that will be addressed during this session.

Traditional Testing: The Silent Killer of DevOpsTechWell
Many organizations today are adopting DevOps to accelerate software delivery. However, once they have invested significant time and money optimizing most parts of the software delivery process, testing often holds them back from achieving the desired results. Why? Because software testing is still dominated by yesterday’s tools and processes—which don’t meet the needs of today’s accelerated development processes. How can you ensure that you and your team help the organization achieve its objectives? Wayne Ariola says that the key is continuous testing—and Wayne doesn’t just mean test automation. He means the process of executing automated tests as part of the software delivery pipeline in order to obtain feedback as rapidly as possible on the business risks associated with a software release candidate. Join Wayne to learn what continuous testing requires from the tester and discover the steps you must take to ensure that you’re prepared for this transformation. Explore how the role of testing can and should shift from the reactive role of validating requirements to a more proactive “quality engineering” role that involves protecting and optimizing the business.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
