STAREAST Testing Improving Accuracy and Confidence in Workload Models
Slideshow

The most critical component in capacity planning and performance engineering is the Workload Model, which defines the workflows, throughputs, and target performance your system must support at peak loads. As critical as it is, it can be difficult and particularly challenging to predict...

STAREAST Testing The Lost Art of Acceptance Testing
Slideshow

Acceptance testing is often thought of as the little brother of system testing and, in many projects, it ends up as a little phase at the end. Having worked in system testing for most of her testing career, Bettina Faldborg found it was a bigger jump than you might think to move to...

Communication and Testing: Why You Have Been Wrong All Along!
Slideshow

You ran all the tests you planned for your team, you reported all the bugs with clear and to the point descriptions, and you sent a weekly email with a professional PowerPoint presentation including graphs and statistics pointing out the risk areas and project issues. However, you still...

STAREAST Testing Use Layered Model-Based Requirements to Achieve Continuous Testing
Slideshow

Requirements, test cases, and test data are still generally designed and created the same way they have been for the past thirty years—despite the evolution of testing techniques and tools. Requirements are still specified through written natural language, which leads to ambiguity and...

STAREAST Testing AI and Machine Learning for Testers
Slideshow

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the most important technology for software testers to understand today. All software will soon have AI-powered components, and they are unlike anything you’ve ever tested before. As risky as AI can be, it is a powerful weapon for testers to solve some of...

STAREAST Testing Service Virtualization: What Testers Need to Know
Slideshow

Unrestrained access to a trustworthy and realistic test environment—including the application under test and all of its dependent components—is essential for achieving “quality @ speed” with agile, DevOps, and continuous delivery. Service virtualization is an emerging technology that...

STAREAST Testing Microservices Testing Strategies: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality
Slideshow

Software development is trending toward building systems using small, autonomous, independently deployable services called microservices. Leveraging microservices makes it easier to add and modify system behavior with minimal or no service interruption. Because they facilitate releasing...
