Today’s Regression Automation Challenge for Continuous Delivery

Today’s Regression Automation Challenge for Continuous Delivery

Regression Automation is all over the map today. The software testing world is way more varied than people think. Some organizations have thousands of tests constantly running on all kinds of VMs taking multiple days to execute, while others have no test automation at all. Any hope of Continuous Delivery or Pipeline Automation makes this current state unsustainable.

Continuous Integration and How it Affects Testing

Continuous Integration and How it Affects Testing

What is Continuous Integration (CI)? Why use it? How is testing affected by CI? Do you ever sit in meetings where developers talk about Continuous Integration and wonder what it is and why they’re talking about it? Then this webinar is for you! No understanding of CI necessary! We’ll talk about where the practice originated, how it has evolved over time and why it is such a major part of the competitive landscape of software development today. We’ll go over how tests can be integrated into CI; what new roles and responsibilities emerge for testers when CI is introduced; and how CI helps testers.

The Hidden Requirements: Exploring Emotions with Placebos

The Hidden Requirements: Exploring Emotions with Placebos

A placebo is designed and used primarily for psychological benefit. Things like sugar pills, elevator door close buttons, and office thermostats aim “to please”, rather than have any other, “real” effects. Now, consider a placebo in the context of software and testing. What if “pleasing” is the only intended and expected result? How can it be tested? What does a bug look like? And, do these ideas also apply to non-placebos that have other, “real” effects? In this workshop, we’ll explore placebos, nocebos, the placebo/nocebo response, illusion and locus of control, relativism, wants, needs, and expectations, and will connect it all to testing.
