Quality Transformation

In many organisations, Quality Assurance teams are at the forefront of change, leading transformation initiatives and improving software development. Part of this is made possible by a transformation within QA itself: Quality Assurance organisations are adapting to a Quality Analysis role. Many of the old ways of working, measuring and testing are no longer applicable in a microservice or cloud function environment.

Reasoning Skills within Software Testing

We use reasoning skills every day. Mostly they work well, but sometimes they let us down. Unfortunately, they let us down when we think about creating tests, one of the most important parts of software testing. 
Why do we find it easy to create some tests, but struggle with others?
The answer lies in where those reasoning processes came from, which is from our evolutionary past.

Talk

Finding Security Issues in Open Source

Alex will cover tools like bandit, Coverity, npm audit and a few more with detailed examples of open source projects that he is working on.

Automated Performance Testing With WebDriver

Every frontend engineer is cautious about the speed of his web application, and many companies have SLAs that require their apps to be responsible after a certain time in order to not loose the attention of potential customers. Until this day, though, most web application are shipped without or just with a passive check of its performance.
Performance implications are difficult to understand and hard to predict. With Lighthouse, WebPageTest and other tools you are already able to capture tons of performance metrics of your application.

Testing Offline First Mobile Applications

“Offline First” mobile applications can really be great for users: consistent usage with or without a network connection, better UI responsiveness, and the ability to sync data to different devices seamlessly. While these features all sound great, they can be quite difficult to build in practice. Come with me as I describe my adventures implementing and testing an offline first mobile app using Google’s Firebase tools, including auth, image hosting, and data setup and syncing using the Google’s Cloud Firestore NoSQL database.
