Continuous Integration Using Microsoft Tools Right before Your Eyes

ABOUT WEBINAR

Development teams worldwide are adopting "agile" methodologies to manage change and to improve software quality. These methodologies promote continuous integration as a practice to build and test software products incrementally as new features are included, bugs are fixed, and code is refactored with much reduced build and release cycles.

This adoption of Continuous Integration (CI) attempts to assure quality while expediting the entire SDLC cycle and reducing the time to market. CI thus plays a key role in implementing auto code compilation, auto unit testing and auto build deployment process. Since QA is also an integral part of the whole SDLC, it has become obvious that the regression testing should also become part of CI.

The Gallop Webinar exclusively explores CI using Microsoft Test Tools:

  • When should you invest in CI
  • Ideal mix of Functional & Regression Testing as part of CI
  • Overall CI infrastructure & Microsoft Test Tool Suite
  • Test Tools available for Continuous Integration
  • How to implement Functional & Regression Testing as part of CI

HSTC 2014 - STeP-IN Forum's 5th International Conference on Software Testing in Hyderabad, brings you a unique conference that reflects the landscape and opportunities for Testers today.

Listen to Cigniti thought leaders to see what's coming in future for testing industry.

Day 1
Date: November 27, 2014 | Time: 9:00 to 11:00, Session 1–B |

Workshop Title: Mobile Performance Testing- A Hybrid Approach
Speaker: Rahul Goel - Senior Manager, Cigniti Technologies

rahul-goelAbstract:

Smartphones and tablets are the first point of interface and in some cases, even the Point Of Sale (POS). The stakes are so high that it is mandatory for businesses to assess performance of the mobile app before releasing it into the market. From a business standpoint, the user-experience and responsiveness of mobile apps is crucial to capture market share and client engagement.

Performance is an outcome of the collective effort and meticulous testing. The ability to simulate and generate load in the mobile context is crucial to ensure performance that not only strengthens the business process but also ensures a great experience to the end user.

Key takeaway:

The benefits which mobile performance testing brings to app-perception is immense. Further innovation around mobile performance testing can bring out untapped possibilities and increased productivity.

  • Record and design test scripts
  • Design different workload models
  • Simulate different network bandwidths and user behaviours

Day 2
Date: November 28, 2014 | Time: 11:00 to 11:45, Session 1–B | Topic : Robotics Testing – A Technical Perspective
Speaker: Mahesh Prabhakaran Kannath - Senior Software Engineer, Cigniti Technologies

 

mahesh-kannathAbstract:

This presentation describes the complexity of the robotic product that was tested and the different approaches used to dig the bugs out from it. The product, being a micro-controller based embedded system with a separate software having a graphical programming environment is the major device and comes with several inputs and outputs components. The testing approaches presented are ideal for all such systems with minimal customization.

The presenter covers aspects like:

  • What is robotics testing
  • How similar complex systems can be tested
  • The challenges in such types of testing
  • How complexity can be reduced by introducing different testing methods

This year at STC 2014 we discuss ideas, experiments and experiences to explore challenges and suggest techniques and Best Practices to successfully create inspired innovation and increased agility. The discussions and presentations focus on how organization transforms itself on multiple aspects – People, Process, Tools & Technology. The single most important challenge to be addressed would be to change the mindset and perception that we need to move from Best to Next in an Agile way; and it is important we discuss, debate and agree on the requirement of the change. It is time that we moved to re-investing ourselves for greater benefits.

Title

Speed@Quality re-invents testing

Speaker Details

Raghuram is Vice President Global Delivery at Cigniti Technologies with 19+ years of experience managing global testing practices.

Abstract

Today's businesses demand uncompromising software quality at unprecedented speeds. A research / comment by Forrester shows that Amazon releases software every 11.6 Seconds. Hence the conventional approaches to software testing have to be re-looked at and have to fundamentally change. Ability to put customer experience at the center of testing, managing and reacting to expected, unexpected feedbacks from across the spectrum of users (whether internal or end customers) is one thing, while handling it with agility & precision adds to the challenge.

Only businesses that have realigned or willing to re-align their software testing to ensure quality is delivered at speed can succeed in the Application economy driven by Apps. In this session, the speaker will share his insights, experiences and also some thought provoking questions to ensure Speed@Quality is an assured outcome while the software testing is re-invented for today's businesses

Firewall rules, security constraints and lack of external DNS mappings prove to be a challenge while setting up a performance lab on cloud.

In this session, you will learn why & when should you consider cloud as an option for load testing. You will also know how to setup a load testing lab in cloud for Jmeter and also how to spin LGs on cloud using LoadRunner 12. In addition, you will also understand the configuration settings you need to setup a lab on cloud. The recording of the session is given below.
