Broadcast Date: 06/20/2013
As part of the testing story, testers and test managers must maintain awareness of where and how testing time is being spent, so that management can make informed decisions about the direction of the testers' investigations. It's the mission of the tester to discover important information about the product as quickly and as efficiently as possible. That mission is often constrained by finite resources, barely-sufficient information, and limited time. At the same time, excessive clock-watching and record-keeping takes time away from productive testing work. In this web seminar, Michael Bolton offers some quick, low-fuss ideas on tracking and accounting for testing time, which in turn can help to shed light on the state of the product and the project.

How do you include performance testing in the short sprints that agile release follows? To accommodate for load testing, how do you make sure that you are only testing scenarios that are impacted by change or those that are relevant from a production statistical point of view? Including performance testing early and in the overall release cycle of an application reduces the stress of short time for performance testing and minimizes the risk of application performance bottlenecks. In this web seminar, you'll learn how to bridge the gap between development activities and performance testing engineers; how to identify performance requirements and plan the test throughout the release; and how performance testing can be made an integral part of the development cycle to accelerate application delivery, based on customers and production requirements, continuous testing and accelerated delivery.

It seems that everyone is "going agile" these days—and for good reason. The shorter release cycles, greater flexibility, and tighter alignment with customer needs typically associated with agile teams are all powerful motivators. But "going agile" doesn't happen overnight. A true agile transformation requires broad technical, organizational, and process changes that affect how the team operates at its very core. Agile teams become highly effective when individuals can make a paradigm shift and adopt a new mental map based upon the agile values and principles. Until the paradigm shift occurs, trying harder, having a better attitude, and going faster simply results in going the wrong way faster, perhaps with a happier outlook at least for a little while. Attend this web seminar to learn the seven habits that will help you realize the full potential of agility and how to achieve breakthrough results by employing just enough rules to support autonomy while avoiding chaos.

Broadcast Date: 07/24/2012
Market dynamics and intense competition constantly demand businesses do more for less. In such an economy, there is increasing need to achieve faster time-to-market with improved quality at a lower total cost of ownership. Implicit in all of this is the drive to seek more innovative and collaborative ways of working to deliver business assurance to the end-users, besides merely providing verification and validation services. Quality Engineering (QE) is a key operating paradigm in the overall quality ecosystem with a structured and accountable end-to-end quality governance. QE can help businesses address these challenges more effectively. The shift-left strategy to influence quality upstream captured in QE catalyzes the extra mile mindset to build it right the first time rather than testing it later. Join Prabakaran Karuppiah and Anutthara Bharadwaj in this web seminar as they share key insights to deliver the transformational impact from requirement validation to experience validation, optimize techniques for a lean delivery, and enable continuous automated integration with a zero-deviation lifecycle. You'll also learn key business drivers for shifting left from Quality Assurance to QE, which tools and accelerators enable QE for a diverse set of applications, the transformational aspects that drive predictability for testing services.

Risk-based testing helps address the rise in business and technological complexity and the growing amount of applications in testing by prioritizing test cases based on the defined criticality of a function, encouraging impact assessment of an application functionality failure, and increasing testing effectiveness. Despite these benefits, risk-based testing is still used or deployed in a limited manner across organizations. In this web seminar, speakers Russ Queen and Vasudeva Naidu discuss the two most common reasons that limit the adoption of risk-based testing. You’ll also learn in full detail how Infosys addressed these challenges and developed a risk-based testing framework that helps improve quality, time to market, and reduced testing costs.
