Webinar on Business Transformation using Test Advisory Services

ABOUT WEBINAR

Today, in the 'age of customer', businesses are increasingly challenged to become digital and be available everywhere and every time. This puts a huge demand on their IT function and thereby on its entire value chain and especially on its Testing function which is crucial to the overall success of the product. To thrive in these markets, organizations have to transform from traditional ways of working to new age models of delivering high performance outcomes. While Business Transformation is the key to meeting the market demands and also to assure a higher ROI, the journey of transformation is fraught with many risks, which if not handled well may de-rail the entire program and its efforts.

Having helped many clients in their transformational journeys, we at Gallop have designed a robust framework that can help in addressing the challenges and risks. Our framework is designed such that any transformation journey is first kicked off with a holistic assessment of the testing function to understand the key strengths and opportunities for improvements. We also provide a detailed set of practical recommendations along with a roadmap to achieve the business objectives.

This webinar throws light on some of the best practices and capabilities to understand how a transformation should be planned, designed and executed.

In this Webinar you will learn how to:

  • Operate with a consistent and focused testing approach
  • Have a predictable testing duration and cost
  • Reduce the time and money spent on resolving production defects
  • Have a quantitative approach for identifying release criteria

Abstract

In the digital world, brands offering superior customer experience are the ones that are bound to eventually succeed. Customer (User) experience testing is the key to making this happen.

As per Forrester Report -

  • 52% of consumers said that a bad mobile user experience made them less likely to engage with a company
  • About 60% of customers will look elsewhere if they can’t find what they need on a mobile website right away, and about 35% say that they will switch to a competitor’s app after a bad app experience

In this session Raghu will cover the recent trends that are empowering today’s customers and how user experience is becoming a key enabler for success of digital businesses. Thus the ability to understand the nuances of responsive web design, customer-centric testing of apps, becomes critical to ensure a great user experience. This includes, testing across multiple mobile platforms and devices for usability, performance along with deeper understanding of cognitive behaviours and preferences.

In this session, the speaker shares the practical experiences, insights and proven methods that will be key to ensuring superior customer experience and staying ahead in the digital business.

Continuous Integration Using Microsoft Tools Right before Your Eyes

Continuous Integration Using Microsoft Tools Right before Your Eyes

ABOUT WEBINAR

Development teams worldwide are adopting "agile" methodologies to manage change and to improve software quality. These methodologies promote continuous integration as a practice to build and test software products incrementally as new features are included, bugs are fixed, and code is refactored with much reduced build and release cycles.

This adoption of Continuous Integration (CI) attempts to assure quality while expediting the entire SDLC cycle and reducing the time to market. CI thus plays a key role in implementing auto code compilation, auto unit testing and auto build deployment process. Since QA is also an integral part of the whole SDLC, it has become obvious that the regression testing should also become part of CI.

The Gallop Webinar exclusively explores CI using Microsoft Test Tools:

  • When should you invest in CI
  • Ideal mix of Functional & Regression Testing as part of CI
  • Overall CI infrastructure & Microsoft Test Tool Suite
  • Test Tools available for Continuous Integration
  • How to implement Functional & Regression Testing as part of CI

Workshop Title: Mobile Performance Testing- A Hybrid Approach
Speaker: Rahul Goel - Senior Manager, Cigniti Technologies

rahul-goelAbstract:

Smartphones and tablets are the first point of interface and in some cases, even the Point Of Sale (POS). The stakes are so high that it is mandatory for businesses to assess performance of the mobile app before releasing it into the market. From a business standpoint, the user-experience and responsiveness of mobile apps is crucial to capture market share and client engagement.

Performance is an outcome of the collective effort and meticulous testing. The ability to simulate and generate load in the mobile context is crucial to ensure performance that not only strengthens the business process but also ensures a great experience to the end user.

Key takeaway:

The benefits which mobile performance testing brings to app-perception is immense. Further innovation around mobile performance testing can bring out untapped possibilities and increased productivity.

  • Record and design test scripts
  • Design different workload models
  • Simulate different network bandwidths and user behaviours

Day 2

Speed@Quality re-invents testing

Speaker Details

Raghuram is Vice President Global Delivery at Cigniti Technologies with 19+ years of experience managing global testing practices.

Abstract

Today's businesses demand uncompromising software quality at unprecedented speeds. A research / comment by Forrester shows that Amazon releases software every 11.6 Seconds. Hence the conventional approaches to software testing have to be re-looked at and have to fundamentally change. Ability to put customer experience at the center of testing, managing and reacting to expected, unexpected feedbacks from across the spectrum of users (whether internal or end customers) is one thing, while handling it with agility & precision adds to the challenge.

Only businesses that have realigned or willing to re-align their software testing to ensure quality is delivered at speed can succeed in the Application economy driven by Apps. In this session, the speaker will share his insights, experiences and also some thought provoking questions to ensure Speed@Quality is an assured outcome while the software testing is re-invented for today's businesses
