The ASTQB Software Testing Conference provides groundbreaking tutorials and seminars to build your software testing skills and workshops to improve your testing effectiveness. The ASTQB Software Testing Conference features international software testing experts. The conference format gives you the opportunity to spend quality time with these experts.
In classical (waterfall) project management approaches, the requirements review is an essential gate before starting the actual software development phase. If you participate to these meetings as a software tester, your role is to make sure that the software requirements are testable during the acceptance testing process. In this article, Richard Ellison provides advice on how to handle the requirements validation process from a software testing perspective.
How many times have your selenium test suites run beautifully on one browser, only to fail when run in any other browser? This is an extremely common problem faced when incorporating cross-browser tests into your test runs. Not all browser drivers are created equally, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create a robust suite with cross-browser tests. This talk presents strategies for making cross-browser tests invincible. It discusses key topics such as using as choosing the best locators for all browsers, explicit vs. implicit waits and how to leverage cloud based testing tools.
Over the past decade, eXtreme Programming practices like Test-Driven Development (TDD), Behavior Driven Developer (BDD), Refactoring and Continuous Integration have fundamentally changed software development processes and inherently how engineers work. Practitioners claim that it has helped them significantly improve their development speed, design quality and responsiveness to changing requirements.
Providing meaningful data to perform software testing is the main challenge of test data management. This issue is even more important in domains where sensitive data is used like healthcare or financial systems. In this article, Thirunavukarasu Papanasam discusses some best practices to remove the risks out of your test data management activity.
Not all bugs are created equal. Sometimes quirks in the programming languages we use are to blame, and finding them has often stumped even the best programmers and testers. This talk explores the quirkier side of software testing by showing some hand-picked examples from many of the languages used everyday. Finally it will challenge you to try and guess the quirk as it presents a series of oddball examples found in languages such as C, Java, Objective-C, PHP, and everyone’s favorite – JavaScript.
When you use a Behavior Driven Development (BDD) approach, you are going to automated tests for Agile user stories base on acceptance criteria. Defining these acceptance criteria between the product owner, the developers and the software testers is not always an easy task and can create lengthy discussions. In his article, Matt Wynne presents example mapping as a new approach to define acceptance criteria.
