Building a Test Automation Strategy for SuccessLee Barnes
Choosing an appropriate tool and building the right framework are typically thought of as the main challenges in implementing successful test automation. However, long term success requires that other key questions must be answered including:
- What are our objectives?
- How should we be organized?
- Will our processes need to change?
- Will our test environment support test automation?
- What skills will we need?
- How and when should we implement?
In this workshop, Lee will discuss how to assess your test automation readiness and build a strategy for long term success. You will interactively walk through the assessment process and build a test automation strategy based on input from the group. Attend this workshop and you will take away a blue print and best practices for building an effective test automation strategy in your organization.
• Understand the key aspects of a successful test automation function
• Learn how to assess your test automation readiness
• Develop a test automation strategy specific to your organization
Software testing is the process of evaluation a software item to detect differences between given input and expected output. Also to assess the feature of A software item. Testing assesses the quality of the product. Software testing is a process that should be done during the development process. In other words software testing is a verification and validation process.
Software testing can also provide an objective, independent view of the software to allow the business to appreciate and understand the risks of software implementation. Test techniques include, but are not limited to the process of executing a program or application with the intent of finding software bugs (errors or other defects).
Software testing can be stated as the process of validating and verifying that a computer program/application/product:
• meets the requirements that guided its design and development,
• works as expected,
• can be implemented with the same characteristics,
• and satisfies the needs of stakeholders.
Software Development Process Cycle:-
PLAN (P): Device a plan. Define your objective and determine the strategy and supporting methods required to achieve that objective.
DO (D): Execute the plan. Create the conditions and perform the necessary training to execute the plan.
CHECK (C): Check the results. Check to determine whether work is progressing according to the plan and whether the results are obtained.
ACTION (A): Take the necessary and appropriate action if checkup reveals that the work is not being performed according to plan or not as anticipated.

Invited talk at the European Research Council-Brussels (Scientific Seminar, 12 April 2013): "Love for Science or 'academic prostitution'". In this talk I present a personal revision (sometimes my own vision) of some issues that I consider key for doing Science. It was focused on the expected audience, mainly Scientific Officers with background in different fields of science and scholarship, but also Agency staff.
Abstract: In a recent Special issue of Nature concerning Science Metrics it was claimed that " Research reverts to a kind of 'academic prostitution' in which work is done to please editors and referees rather than to further knowledge."If this is true, funding agencies should try to avoid falling into the trap of their own system. By perpetuating this 'prostitution' they risk not funding the best research but funding the best sold research.
Given the current epoch of economical crisis, where in a quest for funds researchers are forced into competitive game of pandering to panelists, its seems a good time for deep reflection about the entire scientific system.
With this talk I aim to provoke extra critical thinking among the committees who select evaluators, and among the evaluators, who in turn require critical thinking to the candidates when selecting excellent science.
I will present some initiatives (e.g. new tracers of impact for the Web era- 'altmetrics'), and on-going projects (e.g. how to move from publishing advertising to publishing knowledge), that might enable us to favor Science over marketing.

What is Low Code Test Automation and its importnce?kalichargn70th171
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.
Several organizations have tried to replace the Manual testing with the Test Automation tools. While they did reap its benefits, most also encountered a few roadblocks. A major disadvantage to record and playback is that the test has hard coded values and cannot cope with the small changes in the application responses. Hence, this approach has appeal for demonstrating examples of automation, but will not produce a scaleable or maintainable test automation solution.
qLabs solution for test automation meets all the demands for modern test systems. It consists of adaptable, object-oriented components that ensure the quick and easy implementation of customized solutions. We use a framework that provides all the mechanisms needed to run the test logic. The test script developer only needs to provide the test-specific logic.
Do you have to learn code to create test automation? The answer is no. The latest technology enables business and QA teams to ensure enterprise application quality using easy to maintain, plain English tests. Powerful automated business process discovery, risk based analysis and lights-out regression tests can then be used to extend automation and create additional value – all without code!
The quality assurance checklist for progressive testingMaitrikpaida
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.

Civil aviation has, traditionally, been based on the notion of a pilot operating the aircraft from within the aircraft itself and more often than not with passengers on board. Rapid technological innovations have enabled pilotless aircraft which can be designed for specific applications that require precision or long duration which have been considered near impossible hitherto.
These aircraft also enable applications considered dull, dirty or dangerous, in other words, tasks that entail monotony or hazard for the pilot of a manned aircraft. Such pilotless aircraft make use of a ground-based or pre-programmed automatic controllers to manoeuvre the aircraft in flight and are generally termed as drones, although a better term is Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).
Traditionally, drones had been limited to military use due to high costs and technical sophistication. However, there is a far broader scope for UAS use, including, inter alia, commercial, scientific and security applications. These potential applications have driven innovations in UAS technology; especially in areas of control, navigation and energy storage; which have provided consumers with suitably small-sized cutting-edge products that are easy to operate and maintain at affordable prices. Today, due to economies of scale, consumers can purchase drones for less than a thousand rupees. Even sophisticated drones with advanced cameras and sensors are available for under fifty thousand rupees. Large aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus, on the other hand, are investing billions of dollars in building pilotless aircraft that are regarded safe enough for passenger long-distance intercontinental trips.
The main goal of building a Concept of Operations for India on the way to a thriving drone ecosystem in India was to allow consistent policymaking that would guide technological standards in the near future. We intend to establish a discussion with stakeholders and continue to improve our vision by holding Open House Sessions.

The Global Leadership Seminar is back with its second seminar on "Full Spectrum Thinking" with noted futurist Bob Johansen of The Institute for the Future.
In this video, Bob explains how Full-Spectrum Thinking provides leaders with the ability to seek clarity across gradients of possibility—while resisting the temptations of certainty. For example, medical doctors used to label people as “autistic.” Now, they say people are on the spectrum of autism disorders.
Full-spectrum thinking offers an alternative to sloppy categorical thinking that is so common today. It unlocks clarity while challenging certainty.
Bob Johansen is a distinguished fellow with the Institute for the Future in Silicon Valley. For more than 30 years, Bob has helped organizations around the world prepare for and shape the future, including corporations such as Nestle and GlaxoSmithKline, as well as major universities and nonprofits. He holds a B.S. from the University of Illinois, which he attended on a basketball scholarship, and a PhD from Northwestern University—as well as a master’s degree that focused on world religions.
The seminar was moderated by Prof. Vasanthi Srinivasan of IIM Bangalore. Prof. Srinivasan is a Professor in the Organizational Behaviour and HRM at IIMB. Her work over the last decade in the field of leadership development has focussed on building future-ready competencies.
Charles Assissi, veteran journalist, and co-founder of Founding Fuel, also joined to share his perspectives on Full Spectrum Thinking.
Please note: The seminar was organized by iSPIRT Foundation in association with NSRCEL of IIM Bangalore. This seminar series aims to bring the best of management wisdom to Indian companies and startups.

We are publishing a draft of the technical standards of the Personal Health Records (PHR) component of the National Health Stack (NHS)!
As a refresher, these standards govern the consented sharing of health information between Health Information Providers (HIPs) - like hospitals, pathology labs, and clinics - and Health Information Users (HIUs) like pharmacies, medical consultants, doctors, and so on. The user’s consent to share their health data is issued via a new entity called a Health Data Consent Manager (HDCM).
The problem today is that the electronic health records listed in one app or ecosystem are not easily portable to other systems. There is no common standard that can be used to discover, share, and authenticate data between different networks or ecosystems. This means that the electronic medical records generated by users end up being confined to many different isolated silos, which can result in frustrating and complex experiences for patients wishing to manage data lying across different providers.
With the PHR system, a user is able to generate a longitudinal view of their health data across providers. The interoperability and security of the PHR architecture allows users to securely discover, share, and manage their health data in a safe, convenient, and universally acceptable manner. For instance, a user could use a HDCM to discover their account at one hospital or diagnostic lab, and then select certain electronic reports to share with a doctor from another hospital or clinic. The flow of data would be safe, and the user would have granular control over who can access their data and for how long. Here is a small demo of the PHR system in action.
The standards in the draft released today offers a high-level description of the architecture and flows that make this possible.
India recently kicked off the Data Empowerment architecture, a framework for consented data sharing across the financial sector. This allows Nandini (Persona) to share data on her business’ regular invoices or GST payments seamlessly and securely.
Any bank or NBFC can now offer a regular stream of small-ticket working capital loans based on her demonstrated ability to repay. This is in sharp contrast to the status quo, where banks typically offer only larger loans backed by collateral. Using cash flows rather than collateral as the basis for credit is known as Flow-Based lending. Because producing collateral is a roadblock for the poorest Indians, Flow-Based lending may be their only opportunity to access the credit they sorely need for growth.
In July 2018, NITI Aayog published a Strategy and Approach document on the National Health Stack. The document underscored the need for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and laid down the technology framework for implementing the Ayushman Bharat programme which is meant to provide UHC to the bottom 500 million of the country. While the Health Stack provides a technological backbone for delivering affordable healthcare to all Indians, we, at iSPIRT, believe that it has the potential to go beyond that and to completely transform the healthcare ecosystem in the country. We are indeed headed for a health leapfrog in India! Over the last few months, we have worked extensively to understand the current challenges in the industry as well as the role and design of individual components of the Health Stack. In this post, we elaborate on the leapfrog that will be enabled by blending this technology with care delivery.
White paper on the analysis of High share premium amongst Startups in IndiaProductNation/iSPIRT
High share premium is not the basis of a high valuation but the outcome of valid business decisions. This new whitepaper by iSPIRT highlights how share premia is a consequence of valid business decisions, why 56(2)(viib) is only for unaccounted funds and measures to prevent valid companies from being aggrieved by it
[Angel Tax] White Paper On Section 56 (2)(viib) And Section 68ProductNation/iSPIRT
Angel Tax (Section 56(2)(viib)) has become a cause celebre in Indian startup circles due to its broad-reaching ramifications on all startups raising capital. This paper traces the origin of this section, it's analysis, impact, how it adversely affects startups. Special mention is also made of the seldom covered Section 68 and it's used in conjunction with Section 56(2)(viib). The paper also proposes recommendations to ensure that genuine companies are not aggrieved by this while the original intent of the section is preserved.
New digital lending architecture: As Indian consumers and business go from being data poor to data rich in next 3 years, a new lending architecture which is digital, based on data footprints and using algorithms can scale up rapidly to provide credit for the underserved. This includes P2P lending. The Electronic Consent layer of the India Stack will leverage this data tsunami.
iSPIRT's Response on Digital Information Security in Healthcare Act (DISHA)ProductNation/iSPIRT
We believe that India is at a unique tipping point where only a fraction of its users have gone online, and a majority are yet to do so. Therefore, it is critical that we build the right set of protections and empowerments for these users as they enter the digital world.
It is equally important not to limit our thinking to simply “protection” of data. We must also question how we can “empower” individuals, who will be data rich before they are economically rich, with better access to their own healthcare data such that they can become more engaged participants and managers of their health care.
We welcome the proposed DISHA Act that seeks to Protect and Empower Individuals in regards to their electronic health data - we have provided our feedback on the DISHA Act and have also proposed technological approaches in this response

iSPIRT’s Response- White Paper on Data Protection Framework for IndiaProductNation/iSPIRT
It is widely known that the amount of data generated daily worldwide is rising at an incredibly exponential rate. Yet, what remains shrouded is how this data, particularly those data types concerning or generated by us, as individuals, are being used and stored by both the public and private sector. As we move into a data-driven world, it is crucial that the laws developed around Data center on the premise of both empowering and protecting the individual. In fact, the main purpose of the 4th layer of India Stack, the “consent layer”, is just this: to provide for a set of tools and utilities, as part of the Data Empowerment and Protection Architecture (DEPA), that empower citizens to assert control over their data.
The Justice Srikrishna led committee of experts has released a White Paper articulating their provisional thoughts on the Data Protection Framework, and are seeking public comments on the subject. iSPIRT has submitted a formal response to the White Paper. You can also read the blog post lays out our current views regarding Data Protection here: http://pn.ispirt.in/india-in-a-digital-world/
