Accessibility is no longer a nice to have but rather a must have for many applications. Luckily there are things like the W3C’s WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) that help testers understand accessibility standards. But wait, it gets better for teams that are using Selenium. This is because adding accessibility checks to your automation is both quick and easy.
In this webinar, Magenic Practice Lead Troy Walsh will show how to leverage Axe, an accessibility testing engine, to add accessibility checks to your existing Selenium test suite. You will see just how easy it is, and be left wondering why it took you so long to get started.
Key Takeaways
- Why accessibility has become a must have for many applications
- How to use the W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines to understand accessibility standards
- How to easily add accessibility checks to your existing Selenium suite using Axe
This PPT throws light on some of the essential elements of Accessibility testing which have become crucial to ensure quality in this day and age.

Automating Hybrid Applications with AppiumSauce Labs
When creating a mobile application, organisations have a few options to choose from; mobile web, native or a hybrid application. Where web apps are just websites that can be accessed on the internet via a mobile browser like Chrome or Safari, native apps are applications that are developed for a specific platform such as Android or iOS. Hybrid apps are different because they possess elements from native apps and web apps.
When automating web applications, Selenium commands are used. Nine out of ten times the same automation script can be used for mobile web applications as our desktop web applications. With native apps however, we need to look deeper into the differences between Android and iOS apps before we can use Appium commands.
But how should you automate hybrid apps, can or do you need to choose one of the two automation strategies or is there also a hybrid approach for automating hybrid apps?
That’s what we are going to talk about during this webinar. We will be looking into how to detect a hybrid application for Android and iOS, the do’s and the don’ts when it comes to automating a hybrid application and we will provide you with tips and tricks on how to make this work for both Android and iOS.
By the end of this webinar, you’ll be able to create your own Appium scripts to automate Android and iOS hybrid mobile applications.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand what a hybrid mobile application is
- How to detect a hybrid mobile application
- Learn how iOS and Android handle hybrid mobile applications
- Learn how to automate hybrid mobile applications
Quality at Speed: More API Testing, Less UI TestingSauce Labs
Whether your company is a digital native or you’re just starting or well on your way to digital transformation, you know that your web services, mobile apps, and API programs need faster time-to-market without increasing risk.
More full-stack and backend developers as well as QA/testing, architecture, and DevOps leaders are trying to inject rocket fuel into their agile development by doing more API testing. But how much UI testing can be moved over to much faster API testing? And then, how short can you make your testing sprints with API testing?
With the right provisioning of UI, visual, and API testing, your organization can measurably improve DevOps metrics as you begin to do far more testing in much less time - without increasing on-hand IT resources.
In this webinar, Sauce Labs experts will clarify what parts of the “quality spectrum” are better covered by UI testing vs. API testing. Learn why API testing can be much faster and more reliable than UI testing, and how you can leverage API testing to achieve quality at speed.
Key Takeaways:
- Easily extend your Selenium and Appium UI testing suite with API testing automation for much faster, more reliable functional, integration, and load/performance testing
- Implement a CI/CD pipeline and DevOps workflows safely and securely with Sauce Labs full quality spectrum testing
- Achieve quality at speed with significant improvements in time to market and quality to market
Creating Digital Confidence with Test AutomationSauce Labs
Engineering teams understand the importance of a comprehensive continuous testing strategy to build digital confidence, improve user experience, and accelerate release velocity. However, when beginning on the journey to continuous testing, the task of building and executing a strategy that provides clear value can be challenging. Whether it’s designing automation from scratch, understanding where you can scale the value of your tests throughout the pipeline and across teams, or demonstrating the value that quality brings to larger business objectives, building a test automation strategy sometimes creates a web that is seemingly too complex to untangle.
In this webinar, Yoosuf Maktoum, Senior Manager of Quality Engineering at Sysco Corporation, will share a test automation design and implementation strategy that helped his own team achieve success. Yoosuf will discuss a unique test automation design pattern that both supports and accelerates automation efforts. This framework, leveraging open source technologies, enables reusability, smarter and faster automation, and is suitable in both a DevOps and Agile workflow. He will then demonstrate how this framework can be applied to a single test automation script for functional and nonfunctional tests, test data management, and test environment management, as well as how it can support testing for both legacy and modern applications. Through these methods, his team is able to provide quality as a service across the organization.
Attendees of this session will learn:
- Basic design principles to consider when building out automation, and how open source can augment your strategy
- How to apply a single automation framework across various types of testing (web, mobile, API, and standalone automation)
- Strategies for aligning testing with business objectives to demonstrate value to leadership
The challenge for every product is to ship bug-free code as often as possible. Whether you are an early stage startup with a pilot application or a large corporation with myriad services, you’re dealing with this problem every day.
We usually end up with either too little or too much testing and it’s hard to find the sweet spot. Too little testing and you have bugs and application instability, leading to time spent fixing bugs and manually regression testing your apps. You’re asking yourself, “isn’t there an easier way to do this?” Too much testing and you have slow release times and high automation maintenance costs. In this scenario, you’re asking yourself, “are the bugs I’m catching worth the time I’m spending maintaining this code?”
In this webinar, software engineer Kate Green will go over a framework for evaluating your testing situation in order to find your organization’s sweet spot.
Key Takeaways
- Understanding where you are today
- Identifying weak, brittle, or buggy parts of your application
- Figuring out where to test first, and with what types of tests
- How to pare down an excessively large automation suite
Measuring test effectiveness

Continuous Delivery for "Mature" Codebases by Melisa BenuaSauce Labs
When starting up a greenfield project, it’s easy to take advantage of the most modern development practices. But what about the rest of us, who are working on codebases greater than five minutes old? How do you take code that’s four years and hundreds of thousands of SLOC, and turn that into a lean, mean, continuous-deploying machine? In this SauceCon 2019 presentation, Melissa Benua walks through what continuous integration and deployment means for teams working on mature code bases, and what the roadmap looks like to get from a release cycle that may take weeks or months to one that deploys on-demand.
Building Automation Engineers From Scratch by Jenny BrambleSauce Labs
Creating automation engineers from manual testers is hard. Even if testers are willing, they have a lot of hurdles to get over to feel like the same kind of subject matter experts in automation as they are in manual testing.
As a career-long manual tester making the leap to automation, Jenny Bramble has experience to explain frustrations and provide solutions. In this SauceCon 2019 presentation, she discusses managing the expectations of testers and their managers (what’s the time frame? Why isn’t this working?), techniques for teaching (such as games!

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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
