ABOUT THE TALKS

Quality is Communication — the Who-What-Why-Principle in IT Testing by Frank Hampe (agilophil)

Frank Hampe looks at the crucial interplay between quality and communication in the field of software testing. Starting with the basic principles of WHO, WHAT and WHY, Frank will explain how these components are central to improving test strategies and outcomes. Participants will learn why it is important to know WHO will use the functions to be tested, WHAT needs to be tested with priority and WHY these functions are problem solving for the user. This presentation promises actionable insights into effective communication strategies that promote clarity, efficiency and excellence in software testing processes. Join Frank on his journey to a transformative approach to quality that empowers software teams and leads to more robust, reliable products.

Requirements Testing: helping QA, developers and managers with quality by Anastasiya Khabarova (Qase)

Requirements testing is a cornerstone of the shift-left testing paradigm, offering a straightforward and immediately beneficial approach to software development. This talk explores how requirements testing benefits key stakeholders in the development process: developers, QA engineers, and managers.

The human factor in QA: testing beyond code by Vitaly Sharovatov (Qase) What do code freezes, ORM issues, code review conflicts, and AI security issues have in common? I think that we often forget the human factor in quality assurance. We want to simplify the work, and this sometimes leads to unintended consequences. Let’s explore the reasons behind these common pitfalls in tools and processes and suggest solutions.

ABOUT THE TALKS

E2E tests in js-rich web-applications by Olga Trofimova Have you struggled with writing end-to-end cypress tests for javascript-heavy web-applications? Have you seen a pipeline of tests being executed for hours? Would you even be writing e2e tests if they were to execute for so long? In this talk, I will share how I explored the complexity of writing e2e tests for js-heavy web-apps, the challenges I faced, and how I came to the conclusion that quality assurance is our shared responsibility with the developers.

Addressing cognitive biases and mental sets in quality assurance by Vitaly Sharovatov Have you ever heard statements like “all big companies hire SDETs and so should we”? Or perhaps you've heard people say “the more automated tests we have, the better the quality is”. I have, and I believe that our cognitive biases and mental sets provoke such beliefs. This talk delves into how cognitive biases, such as magical thinking and the 'Post hoc ergo propter hoc' fallacy, influence our decision-making processes, especially in the field of Software Quality Assurance. Additionally, I introduce strategies to overcome these biases, beginning with the fundamentals of rational decision making.

Breaking Boundaries with Advanced Kotlin Testing Techniques by Pasha Finkelshteyn In this session, you'll learn the ins and outs of testing in Kotlin. I'll start with the basics, covering the current widespread problems of tests. But don't worry; I won't bore you with endless slides full of code snippets. Instead, it will mostly be a live coding session with real-life examples. I'll also explore advanced testing techniques, such as property testing and organizing your tests into a hierarchical structure, and show you how to put them into practice. We will use Kotest, MockK, Atrium and more! Whether you're a seasoned tester, developer, or newcomer to the testing field, you'll come away from this talk with a better understanding of testing with Kotlin and, hopefully, a smile.
