STARCANADA Testing Defining the Optimal Level of Test Automation
Slideshow

Test automation scripts are largely run against stable functionality with repeatable results. But automation does not have to be just about running reliable tests against a fixed code base to make them effective; rather, you can determine the right level of automation you need to meet your...

STARCANADA Testing Machine Learning: Will It Take Over Testing
Slideshow

Machine learning (ML), a branch of artificial intelligence, is gaining widespread adoption and interest on software development projects. Paul Merrill says that ML isn't typical programming. Algorithms can be changed and checked for accuracy at runtime to “learn” from data.

STARWEST Testing Rise of the Machines: Can Artificial Intelligence Terminate Manual Testing?
Slideshow

The state of the art in automated software testing is far from being a replacement for human-guided testing. There is more to testing than setting up preconditions, applying inputs, verifying outputs, and logging the results. Testing requires significant planning, exploring, learning...

STARWEST Testing What to Do—Develop Your Own Automation or Use Crowdsourced Testing?
Slideshow

Modern software products tend to have a rich UI that supports many user workflows, all of which need to be covered in testing. Agile organizations quickly discover that manual end-to-end testing neither supports their velocity nor provides respectable regression coverage. A common...

STARWEST Testing Test Automation for Data-Centric Applications
Slideshow

Test automation, one of several key technical enablement practices, allows teams to be more successful in their agile journeys. Although there are many test practices and automation tools available for software development teams to leverage, few data-centric testing tools are targeted to...

STARWEST Testing Use Automation to Assist—Not Replace—Manual Testing
Slideshow

Automation is a powerful tool to help testing but too often it is used to replicate existing manual tests. This leads organizations to spend large amounts of time and money constantly updating flaky automated tests and test teams to suffer frustration from having to focus on activities...

STARWEST Testing Integrate Your Test Automation Tools for More Power
Slideshow

Walk the Expo, and you will see all kinds of test automation tools. Some run scripts. Some communicate with the system under test. Some virtualize system components. Some do interesting things that you may never have considered. Yet, none gives you a complete recipe for testing your...
