The document discusses test automation architecture and strategies for building an effective test automation pyramid. It recommends starting with unit tests at the base to test individual classes in isolation using mocks and stubs. Integration and API tests should be the next focus to test application logic through service calls. GUI tests should be limited to a fixed number of end-to-end tests while avoiding fragile tests. Cross-functional involvement from different teams is also important for maintaining tests. The goal is to have a stable, well-designed test automation strategy that finds bugs efficiently without wasting resources on fragile tests.
How to scale your Test Automation
Learn how you can use the Test Pyramid from Mike Cohn to guide how to scale your QA test automation while keeping it effective and fast. As your product and team scales it is really important to have a solid framework in place which allows your test automation to scale for the various layers of your product and your teams.
When is a project ready for Software Automation_NEW
This document discusses when a project is ready for software automation. It begins with introductions and an agenda that will cover misconceptions about automation, selecting the right tools, and real-world gains from automation. Some key points made include the benefits of automation being quick runs, lower costs, and finding more bugs, while manual testing has difficulties like being repetitive. It suggests automating repetitive, data-intensive, high risk tests and testing early. Selecting the right tools that cover all technologies and maintaining resilient tests is also discussed. Metrics like time savings and reduced defects are presented from an IDC study on automation ROI.
Best Practices for a Repeatable Shift-Left Commitment
This document discusses best practices for implementing a "shift-left" strategy to move quality assurance activities earlier in the software development lifecycle. It recommends having quality be everyone's responsibility, focusing on delivering valuable features, adopting an automation-first mentality, embracing continuous feedback through a "fail or learn fast" approach, and continuously improving processes. The document provides examples of how some organizations are successfully shifting left, such as through continuous integration/delivery pipelines, minimum viable products, and behavior-driven development. It also describes how Applause's in-sprint testing service can help teams validate features within a sprint to avoid context switching for developers.
Say NO To (More) Selenium Tests
Bhumika S, Anand Bagmar (Thoughtworks)
How many times do we test the same things at multiple layers, multiple levels, adding time to the build process and testing cycle, delaying the feedback?
We know what to test and how to test, but what is the right place to test it?
In this workshop, we will demonstrate how we, as QA’s, can identify which tests can be classified as unit tests, integration tests, and functional tests. Using a case study, we will see how each component can be tested as part of unit testing; the integration of different parts and the functioning of a software system as a whole, and how functional tests fit into this big picture. We will then bring all these tests together to understand and build the testing pyramid and how it enables us to build the right testing framework with fewer Selenium, i.e., functional tests.
Enabling CD in Enterprises with Testing
The key objectives of Organizations is to provide / derive value from the products / services they offer. To achieve this, they need to be able to deliver their offerings in the quickest time possible, and of good quality! In such a fast moving environment, CI (Continuous Integration) and CD (Continuous Delivery) are now a necessity and not a luxury! There are various practices that Organizations and Enterprises need to implement to enable CD. Testing (automation) is one of the important practices that needs to be setup correctly for CD to be successful. Testing in Organizations on the CD journey is tricky and requires a lot of discipline, rigor and hard work. In Enterprises, the Testing complexity and challenges increase exponentially.
I am sharing my vision of the Test Vision and Strategy required to make successful the journey of an Enterprise on the path of implementing CD. Learn via a case study of an Enterprise, what does CD really means, and how and what Testing needs to be done in order to enable CD.
Software Characterization & Performance Testing - Beat Your Software with a S...
Traditional software testing is centered around "if it works." Given the move to the cloud and large scaled systems, the cost of failure has gotten high enough, they knowing "if it works" is no longer enough, but we need to know "how it fails."
This talk is an introduction to software characterization testing.
I shared this at the Agile Software Testing Summit Malaysia 2016.
Benefits from AATs
AATs can be expensive and not valuable if not done right, and doing them right is not easy. They provide enormous benefit though, and are critical as software takes over the world and manual regression testing becomes infeasible. This goes through key benefits.

The Art of Gherkin Scripting - Matt Eakin
With the creation of the cucumber framework came the creation of the Gherkin Scripting format (also known as the Given-When-Then format). The structure of a Gherkin script is very straight-forward: Given provides you with the background When tells you what is being created Then tells you the expected results. Writing a script in a Given-When-Then format may be fairly simple. Writing a good Gherkin Script is an Art. Some are Picassos, some are Monets, some look like they were created by a toddler with a crayon. In this presentation Mr. Eakin will offer some tips on writing good Gherkin Scripts and show you how a well crafted Gherkin Script can be a beautiful work of Art.
Udvid din test portefølje med coded ui test og cloud load test
The document discusses expanding a test portfolio with Coded UI tests and cloud-based load testing in Visual Studio. It covers automating tests with Microsoft Test Manager, creating automated UI tests using Coded UI, and performing load testing on applications hosted in the cloud using Visual Studio Online. Conducting load testing early and customizing tests to measure key performance metrics can help ensure applications meet expectations before public release.
Build the "right" regression suite using Behavior Driven Testing (BDT)
Behavior Driven Testing (BDT) is an evolved way of thinking about Testing. It helps in identifying the 'correct' scenarios, in form of user journeys, to build a good and effective (manual & automation) regression suite that validates the Business Goals.
Mobile Testing
This document discusses mobile application testing and the advantages of using mock APIs and services. It notes that mobile apps often rely on external dependencies that can be difficult to test, and outlines some common problems with relying on real external services for testing. It then discusses how to set up mock servers to emulate APIs and services, allowing for isolated, faster, and more robust testing of mobile apps. Various mock server tools are evaluated and their pros and cons compared. Setting up mocks can enable benefits like independent frontend testing, rapid test completion, error scenario simulation, and isolated testing without external dependencies.
Measuring Coverage From E2E Tests
It is easy to measure code coverage when running unit tests.
However, very frequently the following questions come up:
- How can we measure API test coverage and e2e / UI test coverage?
- Does e2e / UI test coverage add value?
- If not, what other data can we look at to know if the e2e tests have good coverage?
This session is about understanding the above questions, and finding solutions for the same.

The document discusses Netflix's adoption of microservices and continuous delivery to improve speed and agility. Key points include:
1) Netflix moved to microservices and continuous delivery on the cloud to dramatically speed up product development and deployment.
2) This allowed independent teams to deploy code frequently without coordination, with automated testing and deployment replacing handoffs and long release cycles.
3) Netflix's approach involved building stateless, independently deployable microservices; continuous monitoring; and other techniques to enable developers to deploy code safely and rapidly.
Bugday bkk-2014 nitisak-auto_perf
Nitisak Mooltreesri from DST Worldwide Services spoke about automated load testing for continuous delivery. He discussed how load testing is important to find bugs under high user loads. His company performs daily automated performance tests using simulation approaches to test incomplete systems cheaply and reliably. This helps reduce performance issues by providing early feedback and catching problems before deployment.
Test Automation
Automation testing replaces or supplements manual testing by using test programs to simulate user actions. It reduces testing time and costs by running tests consistently and repeatedly. While it has upfront costs, automation saves substantially over multiple product releases. Not everything can be automated, like visual references, so some tasks still require manual testing. Tests should be automated if they are repeatable and important to run regularly, even if automation has some initial costs. The document provides an example of test automation using Quick Test Pro 8.0 for modular scripting and version control with reporting in Excel.
Tatft
The document discusses different types and levels of software testing including unit, functional, integration, regression, and behavior-driven development (BDD) testing. It provides examples of unit testing at the database level and validating inputs. Functional testing involves testing lifecycles and controllers. Integration tests using BDD tell stories to walk through and test overall application functionalities. The document also mentions using test data, mocks, stubs, and factories, as well as tools like Cruisecontrol, Git blame, Cucumber, and Selenium.

Designing Self-maintaining UI Tests for Web Applications
This document discusses the challenges of test automation and proposes some solutions. It notes that products are constantly changing, developers do not always communicate changes, and testers spend significant time fixing broken tests rather than writing new ones. It proposes moving testing earlier in the process, embedding testers with developers, and using automation to prevent broken builds. Moving to more automated and maintainable tests over time can reduce maintenance costs and give testers a better understanding of how software is developed. Key steps include treating test automation as software development, improving presentation layer consistency, and better communication between testers and developers.

The document discusses test automation architecture and provides recommendations for building an effective architecture. It recommends prioritizing unit testing and API/service layer testing over GUI testing to create a testing pyramid. Unit tests should be isolated and test small pieces of code, while API tests can test application logic through service calls. GUI tests should be limited in number and used to test broad end-to-end scenarios, not every small scenario. The goal is to have fewer, more stable automated tests rather than many fragile tests. Following best practices like testing different layers, prioritizing types of tests, and continuous refactoring can help create a maintainable and effective test automation architecture.
The other side of elegant websites
The document discusses the challenges of performance testing elegant websites. Parameterization and correlation are important for scripting tests with multiple users and sessions. The authors developed a scripting engine to help with parameterization, correlation across builds, and porting scripts. While it helped reduce time, cost and improve quality, further enhancements are needed to better handle large sites and business logic.
.NET Fest 2019. Arnon Axelrod. Test automation for developers
Traditionally developers only write unit tests (hopefully!) and QA engineers write System tests, with Selenium or some other tool. However, while this separation has some reasons, it's also a bit arbitrary and unhealthy. In this talk we'll discuss why you should be involved in all kinds of test automation and discuss best practices for utilizing the test automation to improve the development lifecycle, as well as both the internal and the external quality of your code.
TGT#19 - 3 seconds or less - Piotr Liss
This document discusses the importance of performance testing web applications and services. It explains that performance tests help locate issues before public release, define system limits, and find bottlenecks. The document then defines different types of performance tests, including load, stress, spike, and endurance tests. It provides examples of tools for performance testing, such as Apache JMeter, and how to analyze test results. Overall, the document makes a case for regularly performance testing software to ensure expected quality and response times.
Building a Complete Pipeline: The Essential Components of Continuous Testing ...
Full webinar recording --
In an era when testing is no longer limited to end-of-line waterfall-type process -- but is an integral and substantial part of the end-to-end development process -- it is ever more pressing to look under the hood of the tools, technologies, processes, and best practices utilized by top-notch testing teams that release world-class software.
In this webinar, we took an in-depth look at the technical aspects required to successfully scale continuous testing -- and discussed the tools and technologies used by leading engineering teams, including their approach to managing functional, performance and visual testing at scale.
We also took a hands-on approach: via a live demo, we showed how all of these come together to create a complete end-to-end quality pipeline that supports continuous testing at scale.

In the past, applications where created as monolithic entities running on a single server. If this is the past for you, too, you will have experienced the downside of modern distributed and cloud applications, as debugging, troubleshooting, and monitoring is not easily accomplished with traditional approaches.
Within this session, we will explore different possibilities for collecting and analyzing the needed information to solve issues on modern distributed application and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each approach like debugger, log files, performance counter and third party solutions. The focus of this session will be on Developer and DevOps need, as increased release cycles and third party dependency more and more result in the need for troubleshooting also on production system, rather than in an isolated test environment.
This session requires a solid understanding of distributed applications and knowledge of SOA, but most principles also apply to and can be beneficial for more traditional application design approaches. The used code examples are in .NET but the shown principles generally apply to other languages, too, and shown software is often available for a variety of environments.

Keys to continuous testing for faster delivery euro star webinar
Your business needs to deliver faster. To accommodate, Development needs to introduce fewer changes but in a much more frequent cadence. This creates a challenge for test teams to keep up with the rapid pace of change without compromising on quality. Automation is paramount to the success or failure of Continuous Delivery, and Continuous Testing enables early and frequent quality feedback throughout the CI/CD pipeline.
In this webinar, Eran & Ayal will explore how to implement Continuous Testing to ensure high quality releases in a Continuous Delivery environment; including what to test and when to automate new functionality in order to optimize your efforts.
Why you Shouldnt Automated But You Will Anyway
The document discusses automation in software testing. It begins by outlining common claims made about the benefits of automation, such as saving time and improving quality, but argues that these claims often don't hold true. Automation does not inherently save time, guarantee quality, or reduce resources needed. It also does not always save money when development, maintenance, and infrastructure costs are considered. The document provides a formula for determining when automation is worthwhile based on how many times a test case would need to be rerun manually. It concludes by acknowledging that, despite these drawbacks, organizations will still automate testing because it is exciting, managers demand it, and it benefits careers.

Will Robots Replace Testers?
This talk suggests how we might make sense of the tools landscape of the near future, where the pressure to modernise processes and automate is greatest, and what a new test process supported by tools might look like.
Takeaways:
- We need to take machine learning in testing seriously, but it won’t be taking our jobs just yet
- We don’t need more test automation tools; today we need tools that capture tester knowledge
- Tools that that learn and think can’t work for testers until we solve the knowledge capture challenge.

Are Your Tests Well-Travelled? Thoughts About Test Coverage
This document summarizes a presentation on test coverage given by Dorothy Graham. It uses an analogy of travel to different locations to explain what test coverage means and some caveats. Coverage refers to the relationship between tests and the parts of a system being tested, but achieving 100% coverage does not mean everything is tested. There are four caveats discussed: coverage only measures one aspect of testing, a single test can achieve coverage, coverage does not indicate quality, and it only applies to the existing system not missing pieces. The key recommendation is to ask "coverage of what?" when the term is used rather than assuming more coverage is always better.
Growing a Company Test Community: Roles and Paths for Testers
Over the past three years, our company’s test team has grown from three lonesome testers to a community of nine – with more planned. Since we don’t see testers as “click monkeys”, but as valuable and integrated project members who bring a specific skill set to the table, it’s important for us to choose testers well and to train them in various areas so that they can contribute, grow and see their own career path within testing.
To structure to our internal tester training program, we have been developing role descriptions, education paths and career options for our testers, which I’d like to share with you in this webinar.

Do we need testers on agile teams?
It’s the same argument again and again. One side says “team members should all be able to do everything, and the programmers should do their testing and all testers should be writing code”. The other side says “No, that can’t possibly work – programmers don’t know how to test, they don’t have the right mindset”. And on and on it goes.

For the full video of this presentation, please visit: https://www.edge-ai-vision.com/2024/06/temporal-event-neural-networks-a-more-efficient-alternative-to-the-transformer-a-presentation-from-brainchip/
Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.How to Interpret Trends in the Kalyan Rajdhani Mix Chart.pdf

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
