From slow scrolling to dealing with lazy loading images...to handling multiple elements with a couple of lines of code...


I'll share some of the commands I created and discovered to hack my Cypress test suite and make it more stable.

In this talk, front-end web app developers and testers would get to learn the most advanced and little-known features of the Cypress framework.

The typical way for API development is getting some transient user stories from Product owners to implement API endpoints.

However this will be costly as bugs will surface when passed on to the QA folk.

In this talk,
I'll share how we can apply BDD as part of shift left strategy
to API testing and
apply open source tool like SerenityJS
using cucumber test runner for API testing.

You may have heard of “shift-left” or “shift-right” being essential to successfully preventing defect slippage in today's application development landscape.

In fact, the 2021-2022 World Quality Report cites that 55% of respondents stated that they need to “shift-left” more, and 53% of respondents stated that they need to “shift-right” more.

This session is going to focus on the Micro Focus point of view, that we need to “shift-everywhere”, both left and right, but not abandon the lessons we’ve learned so far in testing.

Software testing is often considered a side activity, almost a “necessary evil”.

With the acceleration of software development lifecycles along with higher dependency on software in business and private environments, software testing is facing new challenges of increased workload.

More and more companies decide to face these challenges with the help of test automation.

This raises new questions: What should we automate? Can we keep the test assets we created over the last decade? Who will develop the tests?

Like with any development, test automation needs a firm foundation made of requirements.

In this session, we will look at some techniques for requirement elicitation related to test automation, and discuss how collaboration within the team can be improved.

The presentation would establish the point "why designing the automation right is important but often neglected?"

In this talk, Mala will share a holistic view of the challenges of traditional software testing in the complex Salesforce testing ecosystem and provide a roadmap for leaders to overcome implementation roadblocks in partnership with R&D teams.

Finally, Mala will demonstrate how an investment of a DevOps solution with a Sauce Labs integration helped her agile team achieve time reduction of up to 50% for overall flow, while doubling release velocity without additional headcount.

If you are a manager looking to scale end-to-end testing coverage and/or wondering how to take a holistic approach to Salesforce test automation, you won’t want to miss this leadership session.

In this session, you'll learn how to use Selenium 4 in order to reduce the effort for automation of negative tests.

There will be a solution for the following problems:

-- How to use Chrome Debugging Protocol

-- How to use Network Interceptor

-- How to reduce time for setting up test data using mocks

-- How to automate negative tests with Selenium 4

Learn how to start testing your front end with unit tests instead of needing to deploy.

Testing-library is a family of packages helps you test UI components in a user-centric way. This allows you to test your front end before deploying and without the need for end to end tests in many scenarios.

Do you know that the same function can become 10 times faster just using another algorithm and changing data structure in some cases can extremely increase performance?

Discover how to use Big O notation for optimizing your tests code to make them faster and effective.

Singleton, Factory, Builder - What are they and when can they be useful?

Ways to work within your skill set to get to that next level and get recognition in your organization.

Discover the basis of different kinds of tests in flutter and contrast them with other testing frameworks.

Flutter is a multi-platform framework with a robust testing mechanisms.

This talk will go over Unit, Widget and Integration tests in flutter, how to write them, run them and also integrate them into CI with GitHub actions.

One of the biggest new features of Appium 2.0 is the concept of plugins. Plugins can implement all kinds of useful functionality and can be developed by anyone and shared with the world.

In my talk, I'm going to share how plugins work and then give a deep dive into a new plugin I'm developing, which will be revealed in the talk.

If you're into Appium or automating difficult scenarios, I think you'll find it pretty interesting!

Many people have discovered that UI test automation with Cypress is fast and easy.

But did you know there's a way to make your tests even faster?

Cypress has a built-in feature called cy.request that allows you to easily make API requests.

API requests are much faster and more reliable than UI interactions, so it's a great idea to learn how to use them in your tests.

In my presentation, I'll be taking a suite of UI automated tests and refactoring them to use API calls. You'll see just how easy it is to make your automation lightning fast!

It’s 2022, and cross-browser testing (CBT) is as important as ever. Our apps need properly-responsive layouts to handle the myriad of platforms and screens in our digital world. I’ll be straight, though: CBT at scale is a challenge. Just like any facet of testing, it requires risk-based planning and a well-engineered implementation.

In this talk, I’ll share my real experiences with CBT. We’ll cover pros and cons of different strategies for choosing browsers, building versus buying infrastructure, and optimizing execution with visual testing techniques. I’ll share my experiences on aspects like speed, reliability, and maintenance, too. After this talk, you’ll be able to make awesome choices for your modern CBT needs!

Leading-edge applications are dynamic and adaptive in capabilities that require people to use increasingly dexterous tools and supporting infrastructure, including microservices.

Microservices break traditionally structured applications into manageable pieces that can be developed and maintained independently. Microservices are often decoupled, allowing for updates with little to no downtime, as the other components can continue running. Microservices are containerised to scale and Container orchestration configurations emerge as a new trend and also a challenge for many.

Kubernetes being a container orchestrator of choice, it's required to validate the manifests of k8s and secure containers much earlier in the development life cycle to provide faster feedback.

Audio and Video communication is one of the hot topics in recent year during Covid pandemic.

Functions are all working, great! But how good do they work? What is the quality degradation in lossy networks, how to measure it, how well does the competition and how we can automate this sort of testing?

These all are great questions to ask. And Nikolai's session will provide you with guidance on how to uncover this field.

Testing data is a gold mine that is rarely explored when discussing software quality and best development practices. Tens of thousands of tests might be executed in your CI pipelines day by day, generating a massive amount of data for you effortlessly. Right now, this data is lying around without producing you any value, but — what if you could harness this data to accomplish something?

If you used it correctly, you could be able to, for example, detect test flakiness, notify the right people about failures, and much more. All you have to do is capture this data and turn it into insight using an instrumentation layer.

You can add this instrumentation layer on top of the jUnit de-facto standard for test reports. By doing this, you will be able to send traces and metrics to a backend using another standard, OpenTelemetry, and explore that information from there in whatever manner it is helpful for your interest.

This session covers and dives into methodology of accessibility automation testing. The focus isn't about specific code or particular framework instead examines the concerns, considerations and questions that arise when creating a strategy automating accessibility tests.

Learn how continuous integration, delivery, and testing can be achieved using GitHub actions, alongside other tips so that you can take your automation to the next level.

Being a tester is like being a pokémon trainer: we want to choose the right pokémon for the job. The problem with doing different types of testing is that we also end up with multiple scripts in different languages and testing tools. We end up choosing a squad of pokémon: one for unit testing, one for automation testing, one for load testing, and so on. Making sure they all work together is a task in itself!

But what if we could just use one? What if we only needed one Mega-evolved pokémon that could fulfill multiple roles? Is it really possible to write a browser automation script and then reuse it for load testing?

In this talk, I will talk about my search for the elusive one pokémon that does multiple jobs, the advantages of hybrid load testing, and how to pick pokémon that make our life as trainers and testers easier.

Accelerating Cloud Transformation by leveraging Functional and Non-Functional Automation.

a) Challenges associated with Cloud Migration
b) What are the potential use cases for both functional and non-functional automation?
c) What are the benefits that can be realized by implementing these use cases?

Understanding the importance and the need of API Security and how you start implementing it.

Unit testing is fine, but without proper integration testing, especially if you work with external resources like databases and other services, you might not know how your application will actually behave once it has been deployed to the real production environment.

Before Docker, configuring the environment for integration testing was painful – people were using fake database implementations, mocking servers, usually it was not cross-platform as well. However, thanks to Docker, now we can quickly prepare the environment for our tests.

In this talk, I would like to show how you can use Testcontainers ( https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-java ) – a popular OSS JVM testing library that harnesses Docker to easily, reliably, spin up test dependencies.

As a special focus, we want to have a deeper look at the development and the addition of new features to the Testcontainers library in the recent past. But that’s not all, we will also share an outlook at the horizon of the future of Testcontainers and might even get a glimpse at some brand new features that are currently in active development.
