- 18. #qualityjam16 Telling a differentstory about Testing Let’s start a conversation about Agile Transformation in software testing today What do we need to deliver high quality software quickly? • Easy to use, frictionless tools • Involve more people in communication implicitly “Prefer people and interactions over process and tools” • Rapid, iterative feedback • What works, continue doing it What doesn’t, toss it to the side after we learn something valuable Rinse and repeat • So how do we do this?
- 19. #qualityjam16 Frequent Release orContinuous Delivery is Complex!
- 20. #qualityjam16 The Answer: ContinuousTesting • In fast-moving environments, quality requires planning, automation and communication in short, iterative cycles • Many times, especially in today’s world where Dev and Ops has embraced continuous deployment, testing happens as the software is leaving the door • This is a huge problem to solve • Instead, let’s make sure we’re testing every step of the way • What if testing could be just another step in the pipeline? • Or, at every step of the pipeline – this is true “continuous testing” • How can we make this happen?

- 22. #qualityjam16 Other Labs Projects Expandingthe usefulness of qTest eXplorer Automation Script Accelerator • Turn qTest eXplorer recorded sessions into automated test scripts • Support Selenium and Appium to start (open plugin framework)

Editor's Notes
- #7 Take-away We’ve reduced time to market from semesterly releases to 5 week releases Big items planned over the year Improving workflow, UI, usability, integrations
- #8 qTest now has an add-on that integrates with Atlassian’s HipChat that will help improve collaboration around qTest data. Currently in Beta, qTest for HipChat lets you easily share qTest artifacts by copying and pasting the URL of the Test Case, Test Run and Test Suite right into the HipChat room. qTest for HipChat is currently available in the Atlassian Marketplace.
- #9 Copy/Paste - Now you can easily move test cases from one project to another. You no longer have to clone an entire project or spend time exporting and importing test cases. Just copy the specific test cases you want to your project. Filtering - New filtering capability removes clutter and makes it easier to quickly find what you’re looking for in the tree view. Test Run Notification - Automatically notify your testers via email when they need to run a test. Enhanced Data Query - Save time by quickly getting to the data you need without the hassle. No need to constantly click back and forth between the data query and the tree view. qTest now takes you directly to the data query when you select the artifact. We have expanded our data query to pull in the Test Case field values around test runs. This gives you the ability to query past executions based off their test case values in order to rapidly create test executions.
