Introduction

Designing test cases is a fundamental skill all Testers master over time. This workshop teaches fun visual techniques to help design powerful test cases and choose test data that will help surface important bugs fast. These skills can be used in exploratory, agile or engineered contexts, any time you need to design a test.

Learn about visual tools and techniques for creating powerful test cases!

Content

In this workshop with Rob Sabourin, you’ll explore many different visual modeling techniques and improve communication and collaboration among project team members and project stakeholders. You’ll learn visual aspects of:

• Requirement analysis
• Mind mapping
• Decision tables
• Business rules
• State models
• Combinations analysis
• Natural Pareto combinations analysis
• Pairwise combinations analysis
• Storyboards
• Usage scenarios
• Reusable test desgin artifacts

These techniques will remove some of the mystery of good test-case design, they will sharpen your skills and give you many new test design approaches.

Outcomes

From this workshop you’ll learn how both existing and new techniques can be used to design better tests.

Target Audience

This workshop is for anyone charged with designing and implementing software tests in any development environment, including Testers, Test Leads, Developers, QA and Business analysts and all software development professionals.

Introduction

Here’s to the Testers. The critics. The questioners. The troublemakers. The border values on a threshold. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of the saying “it works on my computer.” And they have no qualm telling you they didn’t break it, it never worked in the first place. You can thank them, argue with them, praise them, disbelieve them, glorify them or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things.

It’s time to Pro-Test. It’s time to build up from the fundamentals. Understand the Pro-Cess. Communicate Pro-Gress. Estimate Pro-Spects. Automation your Pro-Grams. Pro-Voke security. And when you’re done with that, you can look at your leadership and learn how to do Test Pro-Ject management, Pro-Pose new ones, examine your team’s Pro-File, and learn how to Pro-Mote people you are Pro-ud of.

Then you will Pro-Duce Pro-Fessional results in good Pro-Portion with an eye on Pro-Ving value and gaining Pro-Fits.

Let’s learn how to Pro-Test and stand up for quality!

Content

Testing shouldn’t just be some task we do. It takes a certain mindset, certain thought processes, examinations, questions and honesty to truly show the value of testing for everyone, in a way that engages the entire team, organization or community.

In this workshop, Rick Tracy will help Testers, both new and experienced, in taking their testing to the next level. Rick will show you foundational, specialist, organizational and leadership aspects of being Testers and Test Leaders that you can then use as lessons learnt to apply to your own testing and test process.

Outcomes

After partaking in this workshop, you’ll not only carry out exercises during the workshop but have more to carry out afterwards when putting what you learnt in practice. You’ll also takeaway materials to use with your teams where the very next day after the conference you can explore where best to apply the techniques learned in the workshop, specific to your own goals.

Target Audience

This workshop is aimed towards Testers, QA, Test Leads and QA Managers who want to learn new practical leadership techniques.

Introduction

Over the years there, more and more client-server ways of communication appear. Some of them organically disappear when others are widely adopted. What's more important, some of them are used simultaneously in a single company or a single product. That also forces us to understand them (and key differences) rather than focusing on just a single one.

Yet before we get into details there should be one small note: SOAP is a protocol, REST is an architectural style, while GraphQL, as we can see from the "QL" in its name, is a query language.

However, that is just the theory - time to jump into practice!

Content

During this workshop with Dawid Pacia, you will go through the main aspects of GraphQL. You’ll learn how to manage testing flows efficiently and build valuable assertions. You will also understand how to work with variables (in fact, nobody likes fully hardcoded test data) and last but not least you will have a chance to easily parametrize queries and separate them from the main body.

For the simplicity purpose, you will use Postman in the workshop.

Outcomes

After having participated in this workshop, you:

• Understand the key concepts behind GraphQL
• Learn the most important differences (and similarities) between different REST API and GraphQL
• Gain hands-on experience with how to build effcetive automated tests for GraphQL

Target Audience

This workshop is for Testers, Developers or whoever want's to learn testing modern API (not REST only) :-)

Introduction

Don't be the last one to board the Kubernetes train! Even if you're not deploying or testing apps to Kubernetes now, you might be soon. Come to this session to learn the fundamentals of containers and Kubernetes.

Be prepared to interact with the instructor on this journey that includes Kubernetes, tooling, terminology, concepts, practical exercises, and step-by-step learning of what the Kubernetes ecosystem can offer you as a tester.

Content

In this workshop with Alex Soto, director of software engineering at RedHat, you will explore the primitives of Kubernetes, the architecture of Kubernetes, and how to use them to test your application. But of course, Kubernetes alone is not enough; you'll learn how to use other Kubernetes tools like Istio to do testing in production, Litmus for chaos testing, or Argo CD to prepare and maintain your environments.

Outcomes

With this talk, you'll first gain invaluable knowledge about Kubernetes, how to use it, deploy applications, and understand why the YAML files done by developers look like they do. With this basic knowledge, we'll be able to move forward in this workshop to start doing advanced stuff in Kubernetes like testing in production, chaos engineering, or maintaining environments through Git.

Target Audience

This workshops is for developers and DevOps.

Introduction

Information security affects everyone in the world. Whether it’s our user credentials, personal data, financial data, intellectual property, or our devices and other hardware; it all needs to be kept safe and secure. Software development organisations have a unique place in the creation of products. We design, develop, test and deploy, often very rapidly and frequently. But this is often at the cost of security.

Each day we hear about new security breaches, hacks and data thefts across the world. So, what are we doing wrong? If we seek to understand the key security issues that affect organisations today we can be more prepared. If we examine the behaviour, intentions and skills of those who seek to do applications and organisations harm, we develop our skills and approaches to meet the challenge that malicious hackers offer.

Content

In this half-day workshop with Dan Billing, you’ll learn:

• Security strategies that support software products
• Aspects of production from business analysis, design, development through to testing and support
• How to add value to your teams from a security perspective
• Use a range of technical tools, environments and techniques

This is a practical workshop, while covering a lot of security theory, so be prepared for a technical and human challenge, with a lot of real world and simulated examples of security issues.

Outcomes

From this workshop, you’ll become more aware of the application and infrastructure security issues that affect your organisation, products, and customers.

Target Audience

The workshop is aim at Testers and Developers and other IT professionals interested understanding incorporating quality from a security perspective.

Introduction

Chaos Mesh is an easy-to-use, open-source, cloud-native Chaos Engineering platform that orchestrates chaos in Kubernetes environments.

This workshop will help you quickly get started with Chaos Engineering and run your first chaos experiment with Chaos Mesh.

Content

In this half-day workshop with Almudena Vivanco, you will learn how to:

• Prepare a Kubernetes playground, installing a web application and chaos-mesh
• Monitor the status of the K8s Cluster with an open source tool called Lens
• Carry out the various different chaos experiements, such as:
  POD FAULT
  Network Chaos
  CPU Stress
  HTTP Chaos
• Run a (performance) test against a web application to check whether the User Experience has been affected

Outcomes

From this workshop, you’ll understand what Chaos Engeering Testing is and how to perform it using various tools..

Target Audience

The workshop is aimed at Testers, Developers, Architects, Test Leads interested in understand Chaos Engineering testing.

Software testing seems to advance at an ever increasing pace. However, lurking under the surface of relentless progress, Seb Rose believes there is a rich strata of continuity. In this session he will explore these foundational aspects of our trade - informally and illustrated by some pretty pictures.

The first article Seb wrote for a software journal was in 2003 (https://accu.org/index.php/articles/363) where he drew an awkward analogy between software projects and building a shed. Over the years, he has found that he has a penchant for analogies and this session will continue in that vein. Don’t worry, though, he’s not going to bore you with pictures of building sites or aphorisms from lean manufacturing.

Instead, he’ll take you on a gentle walk on some mountainous paths in the south of France. There’ll be red wine and automated testing; oak forests and scope creep; deep river gorges and CI pipelines. He’ll ask you to walk with him and take a close look at the concepts that underpin our trade.

“We must learn to walk before we can run” is an age-old adage. We all learned to walk decades ago. Many of us learnt how to test software shortly thereafter. However, just as running is not simply walking faster, neither is better software testing simply working with the latest shiny tools. By slowing down, observing our behaviour, considering alternatives, and deliberately practicing different approaches we can re-learn how to develop software. Or confirm that how we’re doing it now is just fine.

As Jon Jagger reminds us in the FAQ of the wonderful Cyber-Dojo: “Stop trying to go faster; start trying to go slower. Don’t think about finishing; think about improving. Think about practicing.”

From this keynote, you’ll enjoy a gentle walk on some mountainous paths in the south of France, some red wine with unit testing and above all understand how to walk before running.

Introduction

Developers and Testers are in a unique position in the software development lifecycle. We solve the problems that our customers have through good design, development and promoting quality throughout the delivery process of a product. However, in doing so we might inadvertently create problems for our users if we don't include security in our day-to-day development and testing practices.

The techniques and tools of exploratory testing have always been important to Dan Billing in mhistesting career, but when he started thinking about the security of the applications he was testing, this opened up a whole new world of experiences and skills to help his customers and clients.

Content

In this talk with Dan, you’ll delve into how exploratory testing approaches can be adapted and tailored to the security of our applications - understanding risk and threats to our systems and users, incorporating security tests into test charters, deciding on which tests to do, and which are probably not a good idea, helping you along your journey into exploring security.

Outcomes

With this talk, you’ll understand how to:

• Introduce the key threats and vulnerabilities to our applications and opportunities to mitigate them
• Introduce how to incorporate security testing into your day-to-day testing
• Introduce how to add value to our teams through learning basic security testing skills

Target Audience

This talk is aimed towards Testers and Developers interested in exploring security to incorporate into their testing.

Introduction

There are a lot of teams are unnecessarily not bothering with carrying out product risk assesments as the idea usually it’s understood that there is only one way of doing them, namely the classical Product Risk Assesment (PRA) as shown by TMap and ISTQB. However, there are a many new ways to collaboratively asses risks and it’s time to see what good alternatives are at hand.

Content

In this talk, Sanne Visser will show you seven ways to discover product risk. Seven methods that she use when she needed to collaboratively find a way to do an assessment. On top of this overview she will add, her recommendations when to use each option as well as which of them work well in virtual meetings and which really need face-to-face interaction for optimal results.

With Sanne, you’ll discover these seven methods:

• Riskstorming (Testsphere cards)
• Would Heu-risk it?
• Stackranking
• PRA - Product Risk Assesment
• Nightmare headline game
• Risk Poker
• Threat Modelling

Outcomes

After having attended this talk, you’ll:

• Discover some new ways to do a product risk assessment
• Get a quick overview when to use each type of risk assessment
• Understand which methods work well in a virtual team (and which don’t)

Target Audience

This talk is for Agile Testers, Test Managers, Scrum Masters and general Software Testers who are interested in

Testing is a confrontational profession. We practically swim in risk, and thus it is not unusual to feel worried regarding our industry, projects and organizational practices. Yet despite us being aware of this in general, testers tend towards seeing ALL risk as dangerous dragons, and it is this tendency that leads to confusion, inaction, and anxiety.

Join Rick Tracy in his keynote to explore the various risks and risk paths inherent in our testing careers today. He will show you how to apply practical mitigation strategies as a part of these approaches and reports, where you’ll have the opportunity to learn which of the found risks truly deserve attention.

It's time to embrace potentials!
It's time to prioritize our attention!
It's time to create tangible strategies to handle risks rather than living in a state of constant anxiety!

In short, it's time to Name Our Dragons.

From this keynote, you’ll learn to see risks in a different way and be able to name your dragons!

Content

While Unity is becoming more and more popular, testing games and apps built with it on real devices becomes more and more of a need for testers. In this talk, Ru Cindrea will present some of the ways in which she has used Appium for Unity automation and the (open-sourced) tools she built to help her achieve that. She will talk about what worked and what hasn’t, about using image recognition (and about not using it when performance and speed were important) and about the obstacles she encountered trying to do UI driven end-to-end automation in Unity.

Outcomes

• Why end-to-end UI driven automation is important for games
• Why the usual tools and approaches don’t work and what you can do about it
• How making a tool open source makes it better

Target Audience

This talk is for Testers and Developers who automate tests, especially tests for mobile and gaming apps.

Introduction

Any idea of where the concept of a ‘bug’ to describe a software malfunction came from? It may just be a lot older than you expected.

During the history of software development, there has been many epic software bugs that have had massive impact on businesses and safety and as software gets more complex, as Testers we are faced with new challenges in contributing to the overall quality of our software products.

Content

In this talk with Alex Soto, director of software engineering at RedHat, you will explore in a fun way some of the big software failures, however not catastrophic, that we’ve seen over the past few years.

Alex will not of course be pessimistic and will show you software failures that although epic, they were funny and luckily ended well.

This is a light-hearted talk where each software bug will dance to its own tune!

Outcomes

With this talk, you’ll gain a strong sensation of why Testers are, now more than ever, so important in software development and how we can contribute to developing better software. You’ll laugh, enjoy some music and see the interesting history of software development!

Target Audience

This talk is for everyone who tests and develops software!

Introduction

SAFe(r) says surprisingly little about testing and test management. So, what do you really do to support test and quality in a scaled agile model?

Agile has been on the menu for almost 20 years, “formally” since 2001 where the agile manifesto was defined, even earlier just without coining the term agile but in the form of extreme programming and other iterative team focused ways of working.

In recent years, several scaled agile models have emerged in the picture, and the Scaled Agile Framework SAFe in particular has gained a prominent place in many companies globally. But SAFe says surprisingly little about testing and test management, and primarily focuses on the testing done on team level.

So what do you really do in order to support test and quality in a scaled agile model? How do you approach test management and who should be doing what?

Content

In this talk with Gitte Ottosen you will get an introduction to testing in the scaled agile model SAFe® based on experiences from her own scaled agile journey supplemented with an introduction to what the framework specifies about testing. Some of the challenges does not occur because of the framework as such but is a result of more of less successful implementations of the framework combined with not recognizing that testing in this context has its own set of challenges. So, this is her war story, from the trenches of Scaled Agile implementations.

Outcomes

After having attended this talk, you’ll understand how to conduct testing within a scaled agile model.

Target audience

This talk is aimed towards Testers and Agile teams scaling or starting to scaling their Agile development.

Introduction

How does a tester thrive in a world that has shifted left, right, and everywhere in between? .

The industry has moved beyond monoliths to microservices, beyond virtual servers to Kubernetes pods, beyond monitoring to observability. How do we make sure our testing practices evolve as well?

The answer lies in becoming a gish.

Content

During this talk, Nicole van der Hoeven will talk about how to take a leaf from the world of tabletop roleplaying games by becoming a gish: a character that is skilled in a variety of disciplines. She will show you a practical example of how you can run end-to-end browser automation tests, an API load test, and a chaos experiment-- all in one script, using one programming language, in one tool. For free.

Outcomes

After attending this talk, you will:

• Understand the benefits of a tester that cross-skills in other areas like development and Site Reliability Engineering
• Know how to write load testing scripts quickly in an open-source tool called k6
• Be able to use k6's extension ecosystem to mix and match the types of tests you can run for your use case
• Appreciate how generalists can thrive in a specialized world

Target Audience

Testers, developers, SREs, and other generalists.

Introduction

Contract Testing is a tool that has become popular during the last years, especially since the microservices boom. As with many other tools, sometimes we want to try a new technique without fully understanding if it fits appropriately in our context.

Content

In this talk, Román Segador will go through the problem that contract testing helps solve, and he will show you the main concepts behind the solution.

With Román you won’t go home empty handed as he will also share links to a fully working demo so you can play around with it after the conference.

Outcomes

After having attended this talk, you should be able to have enough arguments to understand if the effort in trying contract testing in your current context is worth it or not. And, of course, it is not all theory!

Target Audience

This talk is for Testers, Developer, Test Leads who want to understand and try out contract testing.

Introduction

Automated tests provide an additional safety net, alerting us to any unintended failures introduced because of a recent change. If a test fails when it should pass, then time is wasted investigating an issue that doesn't exist and the organisation loses faith in them. If a test passes when it should fail, then a critical bug might get released and the team.

As Testers, we would never let a new feature get released without first testing it. Automated tests are a software application in their own right and should be treated that way. This means that all new tests should be rigorously tested the same way a new feature might be rigorously tested.

Mutation testing is typically used for verifying the feedback of unit tests. It involves making changes to the source code, which should cause the unit tests to fail. Similar methods can be used for assess the quality of UI Automated tests.

Content

In this talk, Louise Gibbs will discuss methods for testing UI Automated tests which help reduce the risk of false positives, test flakiness and wasted time in test runs. She will also include a mutation testing demonstration which will involve reviewing individual steps in a test and carrying out mutation tests for each step to identify any potential test defects.

Outcomes

After having attended this talk, you gain an understanding of what Mutation Testing is and how this method could be used to test UI Automated Tests.

Target Audience

This talk is aimed towards Testers and professionals who are involved in test automation projects and who are looking for new techniques to improve their automation.

Introduction

Most organizations are moving their digital platforms and business solutions to the cloud. Why? Because this opens a wide range of incredible opportunities, such as dynamically scaled environments, efficient infrastructure models and getting closer to the 100% system availability.

But of course, nothing is for free, because such a great landscape in the cloud comes with challenges and risks. For example, what about…

• Data migration to new environments that need to be both available but also protected and correct?
• System performance when dealing with dynamically scaled environments?
• End user experience and apps modernization sustained on cloud?

Content

In this talk, Inma Ramirez, will explain such challenges and how migration to the cloud should to tackled, as this should be perfectly planned and aligned with the end-to-end migration process from 2 perspectives:

Outcomes

After having attended this talk, you gain insight into how to:

• Key areas to ensure quality for cloud-based systems aligned with examples taken from real cases that we, every day, face at cloud applications’ creation / migration
• Best practices for taking the most of cloud for efficient quality engineering activities, where monitoring of resources is feasible, shared and allows to meet aggressive timelines to cause minimum impact on users, together with cloud-based environments

Target Audience

This talk is aimed towards Testers, Test Managers and Agile teams wanting move their testing to the cloud

Introduction

We grew up embracing the concept of continuous improvement in our industry, but, ¿What does it really mean? ¿How did this concept originate? ¿How can we correctly apply a continuous improvement process that helps us increase the quality of our products?

Content

In this talk, Carlos Valle and Facundo Santillo Alarcon we will review the origin of continuous improvement with Lean and Kaizen methodologies, how it can impact our quality and development processes, and how to effectively implement an organizational QA vision that allows us to absorb business demands.

Outcomes

After having participated in this talk, you will gain an understanding of a series of practices, such as:

• Expanding the work capacity of teams
• Improving the way information is distributed
• Understanding and identifying aspects for improvement
• Closing the gap between business demands and technical debt
• Having an inclusive quality perspective

Target Audience

This talk is aimed towards Testers, QA, Test Leads and Managers and agile teams wanting to implement a continuous quality improvement process.

Introduction

Let's imagine a future where we describe the requirements directly to AI machine, which then converts them into working functionality. It would seem like something out of a fictional movie and that we are still years away from that happening. But it may not! There are already assistant solutions, based on AI, for software development, which allow you to code completely automatically (your pair programmer).

Content

Join Carlos Machado in his talk, where he’s show you GitHub copilot (OpenAI), which is just one example (among others) of a tool that can just that, code automatically.

Carlos will discuss how although there is already talk of a future of automated programming, but can AI ever replace the human? Neither connoisseurs don’t have it so clear.

He will also go into detail about how there is a paradigm shift in the way of developing software and an evolution towards new levels governed by automation. . . So what does all this have in store for software testing?

Outcomes

After having participated in this talk, you will understand a little more about the future for software development and how we as Testers need to adapt to this new future of AI.:

Target Audience

This talk is aimed towards Testers, Developers, and other professionals considering the role the AI will play in the future of software development.

Introduction

Not long ago, the career path of a software Tester was clear and the way to climb the professional ladder was rather well defined. However, the traditional testing roles are rapidly becoming obsolete.

In today’s Agile world, growth for a software Tester is often referred to as moving from manual to automated testing. And what is next? Is that all there is?

Content

In this talk, Ewout van Driel will share his views by explaining how in Qualitate they use the Agile QA practitioner roadmap to plot the career plan for Agile QA’s from fresh starters to the most seasoned professionals. Focusing not only on technical skills, but also on the soft skills required when facilitating QA and implementing change.

Outcomes

After having attended this talk, you will have clear view on

• What QA roles are identified in the framework
• Hard and soft skills expected for each role
• How to move upward and sideways in the framework

Target Audience

This talk is aimed at QA professionals who want to have a clear idea of what the possible next steps are for their professional development.

Introduction

In February 2022, the disappearance of the Amena brand and the integration of its customer base into Orange's commercial offerings was announced. We knew we needed data to properly test the new scenario in the company's systems and applications.

The challenge found us, like Picasso's inspiration, at work. We had been preparing for situations like this for some months.

Content

At the previous edition of ExpoQA we were where, possibly, you are now: looking for ideas to solve the test data problem. The availability of good test data was always costly in Orange, and a bottleneck in quality processes.

Today, our test teams worry about other things. Test data arrives on time, in an automated fashion, and in the required quantity. That's why Amena's customer rebranding had the right data to test applications. And it was a resounding success.

We want to share the results obtained and the keys to the process that allowed us to achieve them: the Orange method.

The design and implementation of a TDM (Test Data Management) strategy seemed to be an essentially technical challenge. It turned out to have a very important organizational component. Along the way, we learned that it is a cross-cutting initiative, requiring the commitment and sponsorship of the management and the close involvement of the teams concerned.

But it can be done. And the result is worth it.

Outcomes

After attending this talk, you will learn how to:

• Define realistic goals and benefits linked to TDM
• Identify and manage risks related to TDM implementation.
• Plan the deployment of an efficient and pragmatic test data strategy, taking into account technical and organizational elements.

Target Audience

This talk is aimed at quality and test managers, testers and, in general, all those interested in solving the problems of data availability for testing and improving the efficiency of the software quality and testing process.

Introduction

The Atlassian Jira tool has become practically a standard in software development circuits worldwide. Many companies make use of this and other tools from the Australian manufacturer such as Bitbucket, Bamboo or Confluence, building part or all of their stack with them.

Therefore, it makes more and more sense to take advantage of the use of Jira at the corporate level to extend its functionality to the Testing area, facilitating the work of the product teams, which can address one more piece of the value chain without having to jump from tool to tool or change environment.

In this session, Luis, therefore, it will be understood - through an exhaustive comparison - how the most popular apps in the Atlassian Marketplace can help precisely in this task: bringing Jira to the world of Testing, knowing the advantages and strengths of each one of them.

Content

A selection of the Top-3 Testing apps in the Atlassian Marketplace will be presented and, for each of them, several key aspects will be analyzed such as: number of downloads and active installations, deployment modalities, reputation in the Marketplace, model of internal entities available to manage information, usability and user interface, export and import capabilities, quality of product documentation, extensibility and integration capabilities with third parties through their APIs, reporting and metrics functionalities, support for customization and, of course, price.

Outcomes

After having attended this talk, there will be a winner in each category and an overall winner. This will be - at least in the opinion of the people in charge of the analysis - the best app for Testing in Jira available today in Atlassian's Marketplace. Additionally, the attendees will have explored a comparative methodology that can be extrapolated to other similar purposes, in case they ever need to carry out an evaluation of these characteristics.

Target Audience

This session is of potential interest to any member of a product team (developers, product managers, sqa, qa managers, scrum masters, etc...) that is evaluating testing tools for Jira, either because they are current users of the tool, or because they are considering its adoption for the team.

Introduction

In the world of Software Development, obtaining results in short periods of time is crucial for project success, in this sense, one of the first layers of tests found are those related to APIs. It is time to automate.

Content

In this talk, Ricardo Ruiz will share his experience with the automation of API tests using Postman, showing you how tests can be executed from the continuous integration environment. Ricardo will also show you a framework to execute regression tests through Jenkins, in addition to presenting the basic concepts of APIs necessary to carry such tests.

Outcomes

After having participated in this talk, you will gain knowledge about

• Basic concepts of APIs testing
• API test automation
• A technical solution for an API test automation
• Reporting of test results

Target Audience

This talk is aimed towards Testers, Developers and Test Leads interested in automating API tests using Postman & Jenkins.

Introduction

The cloud-based mobile application solution enables developers and testers around the world to communicate and connect to mobile devices over the Internet. With cloud technology, testers have access to almost the entire range of devices with different OS platforms, versions, network operators, etc. Applications can be loaded via API or web clients.

Testing on real devices is expensive, so cloud-based testing is preferred. Simulators and emulators available in the cloud allow testers to do everything a real user could do, such as swipe, double tap, zoom, scroll, rotate, etc. Performance issues can also be detected through cloud-based testing.

Content

In this talk, Eduardo Eduardo talks about:

• Benefits of Cloud Mobile Testing

• The end user can choose devices, operating system platforms, display densities, etc., thus reducing overall infrastructure and maintenance cost.
• It supports parallel testing, thus saving a lot of time.
• Applications can be tested in a secure environment.
• Both developer and QA can access the tools from anywhere.
• Supports logging of test results.
• Easy access and always available.
• Supports testing in a real-time environment with real network carriers.
• Pay per user.

• Does my App Really Need a Cloud Testing?

Cloud testing has a lot of benefits but on the contrary, the tools available for this testing are not open source or free.

And if you are not aware of how cloud testing is done, then you need to learn it before using it for your app. This needs an investment of time, efforts, and money, hence there is a need for an approval from the product owner or the manager.

• Types of Testing that can be done using the Cloud

• Benefits of Cloud Testing for Mobile Applications

• Liabilities of Cloud-Based Mobile Application Testing

• Best Tools for Cloud-Based Testing

Outcomes

After having participated in this talk, you will be able to identify the main points in order to have arguments when deciding to go for a cloud infrastructure to implement testing on mobile devices.

Target Audience

This talk is aimed towards testers, developers and QA managers interested in understanding the benefits of testing on mobile devices in a cloud infrastructure.

Introduction

Today, mobile devices are an extension of the human body, holding in our hands or pockets even more computing power than the frist computer used to land NASA astronauts on the Moon!

As a society, we are increasingly dependent on technology that now forms an integral part of our lives. Currently, there are over 1.9 million websites on the Internet, over 3 million mobile apps on Google Play and over 2 million on the App Store, but how many apps and websites are accessible to people with disabilities?

When a company releases softrware to the market it needs to have considered accessibility as one of the important factors during it's development, if not, it will leave more than a billion people with disabilities around the world without access; to avoid this situation it is essential that we all become advocates of accessible design and development.

Content

In this masterclass, Lisandra Armas will be addressing how we can quickly detect accessibility problems from very early stages within software development, comparing examples of good and bad practices that allow us to easily distinguish accessibility errors.

You will have the opportunity to learn about and interact with the main assistive products that are used by people with disabilities to access and navigate applications. You will practice how to use automatic evaluation tools and filtering techniques to detect accessibility errors.

This is a masterclass that will show you a way to include accessibility testing in your software without giving up.

Remember that lack of accessibility impacts us all, but accessibility improvements benefit us all!

Outcomes

After having participated in the masterclass you will get information on how:

Make use in your accessibility testing of the main assistive products that are used by people with disabilities. In addition, you will learn how to detect accessibility errors with the use of automatic evaluation tools and filtering techniques.

Target Audience

This masterclass is aimed at Testers, QA, Developers, Managers, Product Owners and anyone interested in learning about accessibility.

Have you ever worked on a project that was obsessed with a deadline? Obsessed in a way that you can’t reason with and consumes all bandwidth in front of it. Let’s say it was to deliver a programme of change that invokes polarised reactions. What happens to quality when the when overrides everything else?

Teams tend to internalise that definition of quality. This leads to a lot of stress and often paralysis. In the form of ever increasing amounts of testing. However, we can turn our quality constraints into enabling constraints.

In the head o Ash Winter, there are two categories to consider:

* Macro quality constraints - quality the wider organization believes that they want * Micro quality constraints - quality the team has the remit to influence.

In this keynote, Ash will talk about how he and his team turned the deadline, which would normally be a warping factor on quality into an enabling constraint. They used it to liberate ourselves from the idea that more testing was the answer. To gather more autonomy over how the work was done and get more control over decision making.

This then needed to be sold to the wider team, which had mixed results. The old quality constraints individuals and teams carry with them showed themselves. Waiting for decisions that would never come and building features to show progress. Rather than tackling the risks and believing testing was the answer to the quality problem.

To achieve this, they wanted to change the focus to having a more operable and supportable system. Changing the system to provide more information about its state was a quality shift too far for some...

From this keynote, you see how it’s actually possible to turn deadlines on their head.

Introduction

If a good developer can write bad code what is the guarantee that a Tester with no coding experience can write good code? Having a bigger team of Testers who have the characteristic of writing code can be pretty painful when the Tester will change the team or even worst leave the company. Maintenance is difficult even when the Tester is still in the team since he has duplicated the same logic in a huge amount of page objects which will be almost impossible to be refactored in a very short period of time.

Content

In this talk, Gjore will show you how Pattern Object Model helped him gain the trust of new stakeholders within a project by delivering automated tests from day one. He’ll discuss good practices for test automation and how implementing these practices help regain that trust of stakeholders by above all reducing the maintenance time of the automated tests.

Outcomes

After having attended this talk, you gain insight into how to:

• Improved and simplify your test code
• Easy to maintain yoru framework for multiple projects
• Focus on writhing tests instead of writhing frameworks

Target Audience

This talk is aimed towards Testers and professionals who are involved in test automation projects and are looking to improve their automation and overcome typical problems.

Introduction

A story of a diverse ensemble test team while working from home.

What started in 2020 as an experiment evolved to common practice. Andrea Jensen is a believer in collaboration, in the power of professional diversity and in the whole team approach. However the fact that she believes in these values does not necessarily mean others believe them too.

Andrea was driven to challenge the Status Quo and do her very best to be part of a change.So, the question is “How does she share her message successfully with her team?” After experiments, failures, and frustration she found my answer: It’s ensemble testing in a cross-functional team.

Instead of talking about desires to collaborate, Andrea and her team collaborated. Instead of talking about diversity, they shared their ideas. Instead of pushing for quality ownership, they started testing together. A team that never tested together before started to apply remote ensemble testing!

Andrea wants to share the story of their cross-functional ensemble testing team and how the approach of collaboration changed the software and themselves. She does not just believe that ensemble testing with a cross-functional team is incredibly valuable, she actually experienced it. And more than that, it works in a remote context, too.

In 2020 there was no other option than starting it remotely due to the Covid Pandemic. But since then the world is now, in 2022, slightly heading into a ‘new normal’ it seems that traditional working models are fading out. The way how her team works changed extensively in the last two years. With keeping these vast changes in mind she will illustrate the question “What will our Ensemble Testing look like in the future?”

Content

In her talk, Andrea Jensen will share an experience report how a cross-functional team transitioned from using remote ensemble testing in an experimental situation to common practice. She will offer insights about the set up for remote ensemble testing sessions. What requirements need to be considered regarding tools, participants and topic and here will be a guide from her as a practitioner on how to get started.

Andrea will also take a look to the near future, how the vast changes they have been encountered in the last two years will affect the ensemble testing of the future as the world is slightly heading into a ‘new normal’.

Outcomes

After having attended this talk with Andrea, you’ll:

• Learn about the benefits of ensemble testing
• Understanding how it could be applied in a remote context
• Gain a step-by-step introduction on how to implement remote ensemble testing
• Identify benefits of remote ensemble testing in the ‘new normal’ work context

Target Audience

Everyone involved or interested in software testing & development will benefit from this talk.

Introduction

We often expect our teams to have great leaders, but not so many of us have the courage and confidence to try it on their own. Some of us feel we lack of the experience to be an effective leader. However each team has to have someone to represent Testers within the organization and we do not always have to wait for a Test Manager or someone else to do it for us.

Content

In this talk with Michal Buczko, based on his personal experience and research done by MIT in US and Toronto University in Canada, he will give you 7 ways how to be visible and effective as a leader. He will not only focus on personal attributes, but will show them with practices that are easy to apply on a daily basis.

Michal’s will encourage you to have the bravery to break rules and disagree when everyone else who agrees, to raise the awareness around testing, lead the project and your team for effective delivery and to adopt unconventional ways of seeing things.

He maintains that within the companies we work for as well as our personal life form early age we are taught to follow rules where we constantly feel how the pressure to fit in rises with the size of organization. However, mindless acceptance to rules rather than questioning them make us feeling stuck and unfulfilled.

Leaders are needed by organizations with passion, drive, curiosity and creativity, which in turn make Testers a perfect match for this role software delivery. Therefor you as a Tester, can help your organization rise to a new level.

Outcomes

This talk is aimed at hopefully opening your mind a little to be able to grow even more as a Tester and will help you with:

• Effective meetings with emotions control
• How to start and continue open conversations
• Build self-confidence as a leader
• Effective learning
• Challenging rule and constrains
• Become a leader
• Become an even more effective team member

Target Audience

This talk is aimed towards everyone who wants to become better at leadership.

Many agile teams rework previously deployed stories, even after plenty of in-sprint testing. Well groomed, refined, stories framed with typical, alternate and error scenarios, gracefully described in well formed gherkin, continue to encounter all sorts of bugs. Software engineering consultant, Rob Sabourin, often sees rework in over 20% of deployed stories.

In this keynote, Rob Sabourin will share a way agile teams can focus testing based on a reality driven approach. He will show how agile teams can drive rework down dramatically, often achieving near Zero rework after a story is DONE.

Rob teaches teams to identify and implement relevant testing activities above and beyond those derived from well formed requirements. He shows agile team members how to identify tests based on reality and he seeks out relevant testing ideas based on what is really being changed in the technological solution, as well as finding ideas based on what the user really does in the workplace and discovering rich test ideas based on the real target environments.

You’ll see many excellent strategies to identify, prioritize, and implement reality driven testing and will also ferret out important bugs that really matter eliminating the need for downstream rework.

From this keynote, you see a reality driven approach for testing.

Introduction

This is a story about teamwork. In the summer of 2019, the London Metropolitan Police's twitter account was hacked. Control of the account was soon recovered, but the culprits proved harder to find. Police were at a loss.

However, there were about 5 million people in the UK with a very specific skill that could have helped solve the crime, if only they had been consulted. Asking for help can be incredibly difficult. Veerle Verhagen knows this, because she’s been there. It is also vital to self-improvement. So how do you learn to reach out and get the support you need?

Content

Just before Veerle heard about this Twitter Met police hacking story, she was in the position of the being the police in her testing own story. She was completely stuck on an assignment, but for various reasons didn't ask for help.

For a large part it was embarrassment that stopped her: as the only Tester on her project, she thought she had to be the expert in her field and asking for help would have been a sign of inexperience and mediocrity. So she stuck it out, inside her comfort zone and admits to never learning a thing.

Finding people who can support you and foster your talent is vital to your success as an individual. Veerle realised that she wasn't very good at reaching out, but she was learning to do so.

She learned that the most valuable allies are sometimes the most unexpected and in turn learned new ways of reaching out that make asking for help feel empowering rather than humiliating. And she wants to share with you how she got there.

Outcomes

After having attended this talk with Veerle, you’ll better understand that:

• People like to be asked - forging connections through asking for help
• Whom you ask is important - how to identify your best allies
• There is no shame in asking for help - feeling empowered rather than embarrassed
• It matters how you phrase it! Stop calling your questions stupid and start having conversations

Target Audience

This talk is aimed towards Testers and professionals who struggle to ask for help and feel uncomfortable doing so.

Introduction

If you have ever written code that tests database interactions, such as data access objects, you very possibly have run up against one of the most perennial annoyances in testing: to accurately test these interactions, a database is required.

In-memory databases, shared databases instances or testing in production-like environments are common approaches but all of them have drawbacks: inaccuracy, can't run in parallel or they are costly.

On top of that, how about having to support?

• 3 database vendors (and versions): MySQL, Oracle and SQL Server
• SQL Scripts for database creation and upgrades
• Liquibase for database creation and upgrades
• Multiple combinations to test,

So how do we test all this? TestContainers to the rescue!

TestContainers is a (Java) library that supports JUnit tests, providing lightweight, throwaway instances of common databases, Selenium web browsers, or anything else that can run in a Docker container.

TestContainers help make integration testing the data access layer easier by using a containerized instance of a MySQL, PostgreSQL or Oracle database to test your data access layer code for complete compatibility, but without requiring complex setup on developers' machines and safe in the knowledge that your tests will always start with a known DB state. Any other database type that can be containerized can also be used.

Content

In this talk, Andres Torres will show you how to save time and money when testing the data layer against multiple databases, how to easily add new versions or new vendors and validate them with no code changes, or write new tests, as well as producing database documentation in an automated way.

He’ll also show give you a sneak peek of what TestContainers's SaaS solution, Atomic Jar offers to move your testing to the cloud.

Outcomes

After having attended this talk, you’ll understand how to use the Java TestContainers library for testing databases as well how to move your testing to the cloud.

Target audience

This talk is aimed towards Testers, Developers, DBA’s and Test Leads who are looking for a more effective way of testing databases.

Introduction

End-2-end tests and UI test is a bad idea, right? Wrong! For long, end-2-end tests have been considered fragile by nature, flaky, hard to write and expensive to maintain.

Introduction

Software companies and organizations need to start moving from a product-based economy to a service-based economy so they can keep a competitive edge. For that, managed cloud services and especially infrastructure utilities (serverless) enable the co-evolution of new software engineering practices and architectures, allowing teams to focus on building quality software that their customers love.

Content

In this talk, Pablo Bermejo, will start with an overview of the success story of El Bulli and how they succeeded by reinventing themselves in a very competitive market liberating all their recipes to the community (ie they open-sourced their recipes). This allowed them to start differentiating not in the function (ie the culinary technique) but in operations (ie the dishes they elaborated with that technique and the customer experience).

Pablo will tell you about the hidden lesson for the software industry in this story: there is nothing magical in the source code of our apps that makes it irresistible for customers to own it. They care about our services. That's why moving from product to service is so important, and in the move, we need to make the right technology choices.

Pablo will introduce a technique called Wardley Mapping to describe this evolution and what are the best technology choices with "The Modern Cloud" o advise software providers to move from a product economy to a services economy.

Outcomes

After having attended this talk, you’ll get:

• An overview of the Wardley Mapping technique highlighting the importance of evolving towards industrialization (ie from product to service)
• An understanding of the technology tradeoffs when using cloud-agnostic technology (eg. Kubernetes) vs cloud-native technology (eg. serverless) and what the use cases
• And understanding of how internal platforms help reduce complexity in "The Modern Cloud" world and help developers focus on creating business services

Target audience

This talk is aimed towards Testers, Developers, QA, Leaders starting to explore to implement quality an testing in the cloud.

Introduction

According to Capgemini,a whopping 25% of total IT spend today is allocated to QA. Despite this, only 15% of tests have been automated. This suggests that implementing and being successful with test automation is hard.

So, what are organizations doing wrong?

If you're among the 85% that have been unable to adopt and scale test automation – or you’re feeling the struggle with your existing efforts - and want practical tips on how QA teams and functionaltesters can overcome common challenges and directly contribute to automation, this is the presentation for you.

Outcomes

After having attended this talk, you’ll gain insight best practices and solid techniques for getting the best out of your test automation.

Target Audience

This talk is aimed towards Testers and Developers who automate tests and managers who want to see new best practices and techniques for test automation.

Introduction

Shift left testing is about moving testing to the left in the whole development process and is closely linked to agile development frameworks. But it is not only about moving testing to the left, it is also about a change of mentality that must necessarily include the entire development and product team and not only the people who have the role of quality or testing.

Content

In this talk, Joaquín Suárez will comment on his experience in introducing Shift Left testing, he will explain a little more in depth the ins and outs of it, focusing on 3 fundamental aspects:

Introduction

Any idea about the ‘domestication’ of performance tests? You may not believe it but complex concepts are now become something simple, due to the evolution of new technologies, such as Cloud, Predictive Analysis and AI. . . and now it’s time for the domestication of tests!

Content

In this talk, Juan Luis Fernández Serrano will implement performance concepts and how he applies them in his day to day testing with what he calls "domestication".

He will show you a tool from NTTDATA, our famous ‘R.A.V.I.S’, and will explain how we apply new technologies to analyze performance much more easily and with guarantees.

Outcomes

After having participated in this talk, you will understand how to simplfy one of the most complicated test in the field of QA, the performance test.

Target Audience

This talk is for performance Test Engineer, Architects, Developers and even other non-techical professionals interested in performance testing.

Introduction

Automation seems to be the de facto standard in testing nowadays, where we should be spending most of our efforts. So, why are we still getting critical bugs in production after working hard to automate all our tests? Is test automation failing us?

Content

In this talk Diego Molina will tell you his story about having all his tests automated simplified the software release process. In this talk, Juan Luis Fernández Serrano will implement performance concepts and how he applies them in his day to day testing with what he calls "domestication".

Pushing a bug fix to our customers is faster because our quality gates are automated. Shipping a new version to production is safer. If that is all true, why are we still getting outages in commonly used features in our software?

On a Friday morning, Diego fixed a bug, tested manually, added automated tests, and shipped the fix to production. On Monday morning, a customer opened a ticket showing that the fix had created a new bug. A bug that was even worse because it was blocking customers from using an important feature in the website.

Diego felt really bad and did not understand how that happened. What did he miss? Everything was automated and tested! Together with his team, a quick hotfix solved the issue and customers were able to use the website properly again. But even if a fix was in place, Diego didn’t really understand why it was fixing the issue. In short, the root cause of the bug had not been addressed.

Diego took a step back to understand the situation. After reading the documentation and talking to colleagues he understood what the problem was: he never spent time understanding the system architecture and how the application works. These are basic concepts in testing, no matter if it is automated or manual. By prioritizing writing code over creating a good test plan, Diego created a bigger bug than the one he wanted to fix.

A production outage showed Diego that writing automated tests before thinking about what to test is a recipe for failure. After realizing this, doing root cause analysis, and creating a test plan, he outlined tasks to prevent this situation from happening again.

Outcomes

This talk shows that testing concepts are more important than ever. In a time where tools promise to do everything, we focus less on what and how to test, and more on using tools to test rather than employing testing concepts. It outlines how a test strategy can leverage a continuous testing setup. More importantly, it is ok to fail, but it is not ok to keep failing for the same reason. In addition:

• How to view failures as a learning opportunity by identifying the problem and doing root cause analysis
• How to start from a problem statement and develop each of the Test Automation steps to solve the problem
• Build a Continuous Testing setup as a result of solving the correct problem in Test Automation

Target Audience

This talk is aimed towards Testers (Manual & Automated), Developers, Test Leads and Managers interested in understanding test automation strategies, best practices, and continuous integration.
