Software Testing Videos and Tutorials: Load Testing, Unit Testing, Functional Testing, Performance Testing, Agile Testing, DevOps
This presentation explores the issues and controversy around integration testing efforts. Then it follows with a discussion of testing outcomes and explores some patterns and techniques to achieve appropriate test coverage to build confidence while releasing software.
Pyramids? Quadrants? Cupcakes?! There are a wide array of models that describe approaches to software testing and test automation strategy and their possible positive (or negative) outcomes.
The technical presentation touches on topics such as test automation framework design, hermetic servers, Docker containers, architecture for testability, test environments provisioning, DevOps collaboration, testing when depending on internal and external services, the joys and pitfalls of parallel execution.
Tired of projects where the wrong thing is tested? Finding TDD too time-consuming or too hard? High test coverage and your users still find bugs? Don’t understand if your tests are unit, integration, automation? InVEST in your future; come and discover how vertical slice technology helps to write those tests that matter.
Years after Kent Beck provided JUnit, unit testing is part of most developer teams tooling. However, there is a trend that tends to threaten unit testing, claiming only integration testing can truly detects defects in software. This presentation first defines what unit testing and integration testing are, and their respective pros, cons and uses. Then, it explores the unique challenges posed by integration testing. Finally, tools and techniques are presented so that integration testing can become a true asset in each software developer bag of tricks.
Session notes that you use when you adopt an exploratory testing approach can be used to capture more than bugs. They not only serve as a memory of a bug, but a structured testing and learning method can be deduced from the session notes.
Software testing can be an isolated activity. While some project activities are done in a team, test execution is typically performed alone. However the concept of pair programming, a well-known practice of eXtremme programming and Agile software development, can also be applied to software testing. This presentation explains how TradeMe pairs testers to remove silos, passively educate, and increase the efficiency of testing.
