Synopsis:
 

It is impossible to imagine software development without UI tests. Despite technological  progress, the automation of UI tests is still considered too complex to function completely without manual intervention. Especially when testing canvas, embedded maps and colours, many approaches reach their limits. No-code tools promise to allow automation without any written code - but can they live up to this?

This talk will cover modern (codeless) UI testing approaches with an overview of tools and techniques. In particular,  current problems and future developments will be addressed. Furthermore, we will show how you can solve most of the current problems exemplarily with different no-code tools.

Key takeaways-

- Overview of challenges in UI automation
- Get to know a toolset of no-code tools
- Ability to choose the correct approach for different challenges

Synopsis:

It’s kind of difficult to distinguish if this is another marketing-created buzzword in the software development world, and even worse because it appears in many flavors: “low code”, “no code”, “codeless”, “scriptless”, and probably I’m missing some. If you try to find some objective opinion it’s hard to find any article or talk that is not provided by a vendor. 

​

In this talk I want to share and exhaustive research we made to discover all the low code solutions, analyzing the state of the art at the beginning of 2022. We analyzed dozens of tools, discovering all the characteristics they have. We’ve also have experimented with the ones we considered more stable and mature. With this report you will be able to critically analyze a tool and decide which ones could be useful for your context. I also want to give my perspective and experience, analyzing when it makes sense, in which contexts, and most importantly, which considerations we should have to take into account to avoid the “automating chaos brings faster chaos”.

​

Key takeaways-

​

- report of all the low code solutions for test automation
- how to analyze the characteristics of a low code test automation tool
- considerations to succeed automating with the low code approach

​

Synopsis:

Description: In Agile world, everyone's expectation is to test the software in minutes to get it released for users ASAP. But in reality, is it really happening? 
- Is you or your team spends a lot of time is creating frameworks, creating test cases, writing scripts, debug failures, investigations of issues and maintenance of old scripts?
- Are you able to achieve definition of done for Automation?
- Is your testing tasks are getting forwarded to next iteration because automation was not completed on time?
- Are you struggling to perform in-sprint automation?
- Are you struggling to have automation runs with deployment pipeline?
- Is your automation is not capable to find out defects?
- Are you dependent on manual testing to find out defects and have your automation scripts just for the sake to showcase to the client?
- Is your automation asks for great scripting skills?
- Is the learning curve for a new joiner to automate new tests of your software is steep?

​

In case, your sharp Intellect says "YES" to any of the above answers, No worries. It's never too late, Virtual Software has come up with Idaithalam - Low Code Test Automation tool for your help!!

​

With just a few clicks and populating details of the test case into an excel sheet, you can run your test case directly via Jenkins. Isn't this sounds amazing?

​

Rahul has implemented this tool in his project comprises of 8 team members in AtoS. With Idaithalam, the task which used to done by 8 people before, now it is completed by only 3 people. Along with that, Idaithalam has given the capability to non technical team members like product owners, Business Analysts, new joiners, to create and run the API automation on their own. Now, his team is able to perform in-sprint automation, regression execution, and post-production checkouts using Idaithalam. It is helping Rahul and his team to attest to the deployment builds to make sure quality software is delivered to users and meets the expectations.

​

In our session, we will talk about Idaithalam, how it works and will showcase the benefits. You will learn how you can use it to automate API tests by following simple click actions on your screen.

Synopsis:

Undoubtedly, Salesforce is the world's leading Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform. With Salesforce, companies experience increased revenue, improved customer satisfaction, greater sales productivity, and more results through their marketing campaigns. 

 

To make the most of this platform, it needs to be customized based on the organization's unique needs. It also should be appropriately integrated with other systems in the enterprise tech stack. Such customizations also demand thorough testing to ensure that the applications work as intended after the customizations. However, testing Salesforce applications using traditional automation tools is challenging, and most of the tools are incapable of matching the complexity of the Salesforce technologies. So, let's deep dive into how organizations can streamline and simplify their automation process with AI-powered codeless automation.

Key takeaways-

​

- Challenges with traditional automation test tools and testing packaged apps like Salesforce.
- Key benefits of using an AI-powered Codeless automation for Salesforce testing. 
- Setting up an effective test automation strategy for testing the Salesforce application.

Synopsis:

Salesforce delivery teams are faced with the growing demands of writing and testing their solutions, but many still struggle to find the time and resources to deliver defect free, quality software. I’ve even heard the statement that I'm a good developer so I don’t have to test. Isn’t that the same logic as not wearing your seatbelt because you’re a good driver? Accidents happen. It’s always best to identify & correct a problem before everyone else finds out about it. Exactly what are the odds of there being a problem? Let’s find out.

 

The average Salesforce delivery program has about 500 test scripts and the average test script takes about 25 minutes to complete. For comprehensive test coverage on all 500 scripts, you will need 6,250 labor hours to achieve this. So, with 500 scripts and over 6,000 hours there is a lot of opportunity to miss something or make mistakes.

 

Many people have said that testing cycles are a bottleneck. I challenge, what if it’s your testing strategy that’s creating your bottleneck? After all, you are designing and developing more intuitive ways of operating your business processes, why not yield with a similar approach in how you deliver them? More importantly, going to production defect free with comprehensive test coverage.

 

In this interactive session, Josh McNamara, Senior Salesforce Strategist at Provar will leverage his leadership experience working with global delivery teams to help you identify the hidden costs of human error and how to save time in your continuous delivery.

 

In addition, demo attendees will be introduced to the Provar code-free test automation platform, as a vehicle to help your teams scale your Salesforce portfolio. Come for strategies for becoming defect free and save time, stay for raffle prizes and gifts from your community at Provar.

Key takeaways-

​

- Learn how to become defect free with pragmatic solutions to bring back to your team, as well as how a code-free Salesforce test automation solution can help you get there.
