Test exit criteria is hard to define. When do you ask your testers to stop testing? When there are no more bugs? That's just wrong.

Pyramids? Quadrants? Cupcakes?! There are a number models that describe approaches to test automation strategy and their possible outcomes.

In this talk, we’ll look at classical models of testing patterns and antipatterns - technical, cultural, productive and anti-productive. Adding layers of professional experience, real world example, and case study, I’ll add detail and nuance to these models.

With a new lens, focused on tests as value amplifiers, I'll share a new approach to evolving a testing strategy appropriate for your product. Attendees will learn effective measurement technique, putting code coverage fixation to rest.

You've spent time and effort to build a website, and you must verify that it works correctly. Especially the UI, which is arguably the most important part of any software - at least to the user. But you might be tired of manually testing webpages, as that is a tedious and error prone process. Have you ever asked yourself if there must be an easier way? If you have, you're in luck, as there are many ways to do so, including one called WebDriver that you'll learn about. In this session, you'll learn how to write a few lines of code that can replace all the manual Web UI testing that you or your QA people have been doing.  Save yourself and your testers time and money by automating the process of testing user interfaces. You'll learn how to write a UI test one time that will run again and again, testing web pages so you can confidently make changes and maintain the code. We'll discuss how to automatically fill in forms, navigate, and do anything that the user might do, but automatically, with no user involved! UI automation tests are a great way to help ensure a higher quality of your software.
