If the Users Can't Use It, It Doesn't Work

This talk provides a basic introduction to usability and usability testing.

The quality of software goes far beyond the classical testing of software. Today, basic knowledge about usability is essential for software test specialists.

Testing Software Architecture

If anything, the Agile, Lean, and DevOps movements have proven that software architecture is not a “one man show”. Instead, in order to succeed, software design is a group effort that requires involvement from different stakeholders. In this session I’d like to talk about the testing aspect of software architecture and design.
We will see what exactly is this “important stuff”, that we use to call software architecture; what are its goals, and what differentiates a good architecture from a bad one?

Building a Test Strategy that Scales

Testers, do you find yourself still siloed even after breaking down the “walls” between development and testing? Are you in a hole of never-ending test creation and maintenance, removing you from focusing on user experience? Does ad-hoc exploratory testing still happen because your tests aren’t stable enough to test the app before it gets to production?

InfraCoding with Terraform: Writing Tests for Infrastructure-as-Code

Infrastructure-as-code is the concept the management of infrastructure through machine-readable definition files. It’s one of the key concepts within DevOps to allow developers to get visibility of the operations process and contribute.
But, if we’re treating our infrastructure as code, we should be doing the same thing we do with our application code… writing tests!

The Challenges of Testing Video Playback at Scale

Playback is a complex animal that is often overlooked or reduced in QA to simple cursory visibility checks. This talk will cover an overview of the architecture of live and on demand OTT video streaming (as well as a brief covering of broadcast for reference) and the testing challenges that come from this, as well as some tips on how best to approach the planning of the testing effort to maximise the efficacy of your playback testing.

QA and Testing of Virtual and Augmented Reality

New technologies come with new forms of testing, strong synergies and a lot of cross-technology testing, such as mobile to wearable testing, back-end to IoT testing and more. In those kinds of projects, we have to consider how they will become all E2E, in terms of requirements from POs, technological borders, etc., and prepare a suitable testing strategy to meet the desired quality of the final product.

Better Continuous Testing in DevOps

Software testing lags behind the pace of feature development and digital innovation. Despite recent advancements, testing remains one of the biggest challenges in DevOps. Research shows that DevOps teams have an average of less than 60% test automation coverage – and that’s a problem.
To increase test automation coverage, teams need to match software testing deliveries with the right testing tools, skillsets, and personas.

Practical Contract Testing with Spring Cloud Contract

Microservices. 
For the last couple of years, it becomes a widespread approach for building robust backend systems. But is it enough to test each microservice in isolation? Do end – to – end tests provides sufficient test coverage? How can we boost testing and delivery for hundreds of microservices keeping the confidence in the system’s quality?

Chaos: Breaking your Systems to Make them Unbreakable

As applications become more distributed and complex, so do our failure modes. In this presentation, Jason will share why you shouldn’t just embrace failure, but why you should induce it to intentionally cause and learn from failure.
