Traditional performance testing typically requires that all components of the application are “completed,” integrated and deployed into an appropriate environment. This results in testing not being done until late in the delivery cycle or sometimes skipped entirely. Which can then lead to a less then optimal user experience, expensive rework and potential loss of business. Learn why many organizations are adopting service virtualization to overcome the key challenges associated with performance testing.o Learn more about CA Service Virtualization please visit http://cainc.to/DMPQSE
Service Virtualization: What, Who, When, and HowTechWell
Service virtualization provides many benefits for both development and test teams. For testers, service virtualization empowers them to work in parallel with their development counterparts and take control of their own schedules. They no longer have to wait for development to complete their work or to get access to a restricted system such as a mainframe or a third party API. Test teams can get the basic details from dev and/or use a sample request and response pair to create a virtual service themselves. With no need to wait on others to start testing, testing can start at iteration one freeing up more time for exploratory, integration, and performance testing. With service virtualization, developers spend less time creating mocks and stubs, and more time developing and completing unit tests. The virtual services they create can be shared for additional testing, ultimately saving everybody time and effort. Join Kenneth Merkel and take the first step in adopting virtual services by learning more about what you can virtualize, how the services get created, common use cases, and adoption benefits.
Agile Test Management Using Jira and ZephyrXBOSoft
Do you have traceability where you can efficiently determine the cause of defects if there was an unclear requirement? Are you sure your test cases cover your requirements? Can you easily execute targeted regression when you’ve updated your software’s functionality? Now with software development teams mostly working from home or in dispersed geographies, supporting effective collaboration between remote workers is critical. In this XBOSoft quarterly webinar, our CEO, Philip Lew, teams up with BDQ’s CEO Chris Bland, to discuss the problems with working remotely, integrating the phases of testing in development in an Agile, and how this can be done using Zephyr, one of the predominant plugins in the Atlassian marketplace for test management. In this webinar, you will learn how to:
--Link tests with user stories and group tests within test cycles.
--Tie your results (defects) all the way back to user stories for effective defect root cause analysis.
--Classify defects to analyze and prioritize your test efforts.
--Use the traceability matrix with Zephr for deep visibility into your Agile process.

Build Your Own Performance Test Lab in the CloudTechWell
Many cloud-based performance and load testing tools claim to offer “cost-effective, flexible, pay-as-you-go pricing.” However, the reality is often neither cost-effective nor flexible. With many vendors, you will be charged whether or not you use the time (not cost effective), and you must pre-schedule test time (not always when you want and not always flexible). In addition, many roadblocks are thrown up—from locked-down environments that make it impossible to load test anything other than straight-forward applications, to firewall, security, and IP spoofing issues. Join Leslie Segal to discover when it makes sense to set up your own cloud-based performance test lab, either as a stand-alone or as a supplement to your current lab. Learn about the differences in licensing tools, running load generators on virtual machines, the real costs, and data about various cloud providers. Take home a road map for setting up your own performance test lab—in less than twenty-four hours.

An Overview of User Acceptance Testing (UAT)Usersnap
What is User Acceptance Testing? Also known as UAT or UAT testing.
it's basically, a process of verifying that a solution works for the user.
And the key word here, is user. This is crucial, because they’re the people who will use the software on a daily basis. There are many aspects to consider with respect to software functionality. There’s unit testing, functional testing, integration testing, and system testing, amongst many others.
What Is User Acceptance Testing?
I’ll keep it simple; according to Techopedia, UAT (some people call it UAT testing as well) is:
User acceptance testing (UAT) is the last phase of the software testing process. During UAT, actual software users test the software to make sure it can handle required tasks in real-world scenarios, according to specifications. UAT is one of the final and critical software project procedures that must occur before newly developed software is rolled out to the market.
User acceptance testing (UAT), otherwise known as Beta, Application, or End-User Testing, is often considered the last phase in the web development process, the one before final installation of the software on the client site, or final distribution of it.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

In the Application Economy, every business is in the software business. Which means your success depends on delivering applications that delight your users...every time. CA has helped thousands of companies adapt and thrive in this new reality. We can do the same for you.
One of the key reasons successful companies are able to consistently deliver quality applications is through their deployment of better testing tools. The all-important Testing function lies in the middle of Dev and Ops. Testing is really the harbinger of application success. Done right, testing can identify application shortfalls early in the software development lifecycle. Modern testing tools can even predict the outcome of testing coverage and associated costs.
APM Digest Article –

http://www.apmdigest.com/performance-testing-and-apm-why-you-need-both
Insufficient testing of the application in the actual production environment and under varying conditions impacts performance. Tied to that is for developers and testers to have a clear understanding of the non-functional performance criteria.Michael Azoff, Principal Analyst, Ovum(link is external)
Agile release cycles — the reality is that less than 5% of developers performance test their code before it is pushed to production. The “make it work” over “make it perform” mantra is one of the biggest factors that impacts application performance today. Most organizations don't have the time, resource or budget to replicate production environments in test for every agile release, this is why a growing trend of customers have started to test in production out of working hours. When you consider that the codebase of an application changes several times per month, you can begin to understand why performance anti-patterns and bottlenecks make their way into production.Stephen BurtonTech Evangelist, AppDynamics
Why do apps perform bad in production? What we’ve come to realize is that not all components are even being tested. Fringe cases are also occurring more frequently with the interdependencies of third party APIs and services. How do you test what you have not even thought of occurring? You don’t always have all the access to the systems and data you need to run a authentic performance testing. What happens when you need a significant amount of data? What is the time and effort needed to get the data, secure the data and then align to the test?
How do we help customers overcome the challenges associated with performance testing? We do this by helping clients overcome the most prevalent challenges associated with running “life-like” performance tests. Optimizing tests for coverage, virtualizing unavailable services that look and act just like the real ones. Provisioning data needed to run the tests quickly and efficiently.
Mapping out use cases and associated test cases ensures you test all the possibilities. Then translating them into a visual representation improves communication from DevTest. Fringe cases can also be discovered earlier in the process and associated test cases can be created.
With CA Agile Requirements Designer, time-consuming manual effort is drastically reduced. Testers can automatically create the smallest number of test cases needed to achieve 100 percent functional coverage and link them to the right data and expected results. Existing test cases can also be imported and optimized and executed as automated tests, reducing the average test cycle by 30 percent.
The optimized test cases can be pushed out and allocated to testers in existing tools like CA Agile Central or HP ALM. They can also be executed as automated tests, eliminating manual scripting and making the exhaustive testing of applications possible on time and within budget. As requirements change, CA Agile Requirements Designer will automatically find and repair broken tests, automatically creating any new tests needed to maintain 100 percent coverage. This eliminates the bottlenecks created by manual test maintenance, allowing you to deliver valuable software which reflects changing user needs earlier and at less cost.
Leverage Service Virtualization and Drive Testing at the API Layer. Once you know you have all the possibilities of test cases you need to run. Then you need to figure out how to get access to all the systems you need to run those tests. This is where the concept of service virtualization comes in. Service virtualization gives you the ability to replicate the systems you don’t have access to or to replicate systems that are not performing up to the standard you need them to run a realistic load and performance test. And test fringe cases (ie traffic spike on black Friday, or a slow responding 3rd party API you don’t control).
Service virtualization listens to the conversation two systems are having. This conversation is translated into a recording that is used to replace the live service. Take for example testing a mainframe service. Access maybe limited to a couple of hours a week with service virtualization you can make a copy of that service and then use it whenever you want.
This also comes into play when working with 3rd parties. Many times the testing environment provided by the 3rd party is not up to snuff. For example we had a client that was experiences significant delays in regression testing because the response times from the 3rd party by using service virtualization they were able to cut their testing times from 6 hours to 45 minutes.
Decompose Performance Expectations “Into the Lifecycle” – With service virtualization you can really understand how long is everything taking.
This gives us the ability to replace a piece of your infrastructure with a virtual service and make it respond exactly like the real service.
This is when a lot of people say well we can use mocks and stubs to do this type of thing. Mocks and stubs are limited to the same types of pre-canned requests and response every time you run the test. How will a mock and stub respond when you start replicating production level loads and pushing thru thousands of transactions per second. Mocks and stubs can’t scale up to the appropriate load levels needed to replicate the production environment. With service virtualization developers don’t need to create mocks and stubs and get access to the environments they need to test very early in the development time which further enhances productivity.
Some of the testing teams we talk to only refresh test data every 6 months and when they do it is a 3+ week process. This is where CAs Test Data Manager solution comes into play. It enables you to provision the test data you need to run production level tests.
Virtual data is generated on the basis of a message definition and injected into a deployed virtual service. Many providers have a solution for sub-setting and masking and CA does that also. What’s different about how we approach test data is by generating synthetic data. Synthetic data is purpose built data that is based on the structure of your database. It eliminated the need to mask data and security concerns. And enables you to create data for systems that don’t exist by using the structure of the data required for the test and then synthetically generating it.
+ Linking Performance Monitoring and Testing – What good is load and performance testing if you don’t know how it will actually impact the end user. This is where CA Application Performance Monitoring comes into play. During the test the system can be monitored and performance can be measured. This enables you to proactively improve end user performance before the app goes into production.
CA Technologies can provide organizations with a comprehensive solution designed to address the issues around isolation and intelligence. CA Service Virtualization addresses the problem of providing intelligent stateful stubs through its ability to observe then simulate the behavior of dependent systems. The use of service virtualization can reduce or eliminate a large amount of manual effort and produces stubs which can be used in many lifecycle phases, including performance testing.
Leverage virtual services and test assets to automate testing at earlier stages of the SDLC— where defects can be fixed more quickly and at lower cost—and
improve the quality and stability of your production applications.
