In the current rapidly changing environment, enterprises are looking at quality and delivery speed as critical parameters when it comes to implementing their IT goals. Traditional Quality Assurance is slow and runs a risk of losing out on customer expectations. There is a need to move to more robust and agile Quality Engineering way of delivery which not only improves the speed of delivery but also enhances the quality of the applications in scope. In this presentation, I would like to talk about the need to transform from QA to QE and some of the approaches, best practices in trying to do so.

Culture @ work should be aligned with Core Values and must be a driver for delivering better business outcome. “Wall of wow” or “Appreciation day” can boost cultural quotient at workplace. Winning Team’s framework’ and Agile Value delivery model are designed to focus on outcome rather than output

Most change management focuses on the business context, process and role changes, and transitioning employees through training and new measurements. This approach may be fine for addressing the organizational ‘machine,’ but it does not adequately address the human aspects of the Organization. How to feel the culture at workplace? If Core Values of an Organization are aligned with Organization’s Strategy, then the Organization growth will be sustainable. Let us discuss a simple case study. A team delivers with in Scope, Budget, and Schedule over the last three quarters and bags the ‘Best Team Award’. Is the Best Team a Happy Team? Do they really have a culture of giving open feedback to each other or do they love what they do? At the executive level, does Velocity of a team mean anything? If not Velocity, what is the alternative? How do we influence the executives to shift the focus from output to outcome? Welcome to my talk where I discuss my ‘Winning Team’s framework’ that focusses on unearthing cultural elements @ team level. The Agile Value delivery model focuses on the Value delivered sprint on sprint over the productivity thus influencing Executives to adopt this model. How can you realize culture elements at work that is aligned with Core Values and that are driver for delivering better business outcome? You can start with “Wall of wow” to extend recognition to your peers or launch “Appreciation day” to appreciate your employees. Culture club driven by WOW boards and Appreciation day are building block for creating collaborative culture @ workplace. Through appreciation & recognition, people feel valued and this build a great relationship among the team members.

As the curtain closes, I would also recommend a new and interesting way to explain culture of an organization in simple terms.

Producing high-quality software demands a significant effort in testing, which is probably one of the most expensive and intensive parts of the software development process. There have been many approaches for improving testing reliability and effectiveness, from the simplest functional black-box tests to heavyweight methods involving theorem provers and formal requirement specifications.

The goal of testing is failure detection: observable differences between the behaviours of implementation and what is expected on the basis of the specification.

Today we discuss about MBT, Model Based Testing, Model-based testing is a variant of testing that relies on explicit behaviour models that encode the intended behaviour of a system and possibly the behaviour of its environment.

We aim to throw some light on the collection of practical rules of understanding when to consider MBT as a quality assurance methodology for a specific problem. Idea is to not pick MBT blinding in every testing scenario, many a times, another technique like traditional testing might be the best choice.

Please join us, myself Suchitra (VP, JMPC) and my friend Sudeshna (Senior Delivery Manager, Evora IT) in the session of "Anatomy of Model Based Testing" where we want to bring in more concepts of MBT and its rules for application.

Test automation is always one of the key portions for an effective Quality Engineering model. In the recent times, indulgence of AI and ML in design and development of automation solutions has picked up the tread. Application-level automation of ERP platforms has always been a challenge due to its very core of heterogeneous technology stacks involved. With the evolution of generative AI based advisory platforms like ChatGPT, there is a huge potential in saving some of the efforts in Test Design, Execution and Maintenance. However, could that completely take out the need for technical acumen?

Continuous testing is the way toward continuous delivery. Software teams must strive for continuous improvement of their continuous testing strategy. The key there is to embrace the continuity.The constant pressure of ‘speed to market’ needs testing to evolve and adapt. The factors that can help to keep the wheel of continuous testing in motion are both external and internal. Testers look outwards for priorities, collaboration and transparency; while they look inwards to reimagine processes, templatise lightweight documentation and recreate their own way of life in the testing world! Let us discuss ways we can plan, strategise and conduct software testing that befits continuous software delivery.

You need to ensure that your apps work with screen readers, speech recognition software, screen magnification, and more.

Most accessibility tests are done manually or not at all. Many teams outsource accessibility testing to third party services. When it is done, it’s usually not part of the cycle. Accessibility testing is not executed as frequently as it needs to be. This leaves risk for expensive fees and escaped defects.

In this session, we will take a deep dive into shift left Accessibility testing with existing test automation cycles for both web and mobile application.

The participant will get:

In this fast-changing World of IT, expectations on QA are getting higher every day --- in terms of Quality and Quantity. More importantly, QA is expected to provide accurate feedback within a short span of time. To tackle these challenges, traditional testing methods may not suffice. We need to acquire something beyond them --- something beyond just test methods. For an instance, Ability to Think Big and Critically is inevitable for a tester to derive out important cases and thereby, finding critical bugs faster. This will also help the tester to envision the whole picture and find issues that are otherwise difficult to find. Another example is, Analytical Thinking which is indeed needed to create Decision Table – with which, we can significantly increase the Test Coverage for any Project. I would like to bring such important gems to the table with practical examples. I strongly believe in the quote – “If I had six hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend the first four hours SHARPENING THE AXE”. As it says, if we keep sharpening our testing skills, then we will be able to Test any project and bring Quality in less time.

The two buzz words we often hear are -- Shift Left and Seamless Experience. These buzz words are not confined just to mobile apps only; it can be observed everywhere in Software Engineering today.

In this talk, we will focus on how the Shift Left can be initiated with respect to performance quality criteria of Android mobile apps. As we move into the talk, we will understand how to get started and what to watch for in simple ways. This should give an idea of how the performance of the Android app is with respect to memory and views. We will touch upon how to look at the power and network data consumption.

This is an interactive session one must attend, if one has to understand the performance perspective of an Android app.
