We'll discuss the pillars of a valuable unit test and when you should and shouldn't use mocks.

Few testers remember about exploratory testing: in the talk we'll find out what it is, why it's needed, is it really necessary and how to organize it, if you also want to try it.

This talk is about how to prepare data for tests. Dmitry will use the example of Ozon integration testing to show how we prepare states for different environments.

In this workshop, we'll follow all the steps of writing tests from scratch, and solve the problems. Then we'll see how the tests behave when the code changes, improve logging for ease of debugging and discuss ideas for further development of the approach.

Learn how Drill4J enables you to run tests quicker, keep them relevant and save precious time - walkthrough based on Cypress tests for React application.

A story about how fuzzing testing works, what's inside it and how it all works together.

Within 2 hours we will analyze the architecture and write in Python from scratch the core of a wrapper around Selenium Webdriver with API in the style of Selenide/Selene, along the way, focusing on the usefulness of all added features, and why what is already available in Selenium WebDriver is not enough for effective implementation of high-level user-oriented UI tests.

Anna will answer all questions about code quality on legacy applications by showing how these problems were solved on real-world projects.

Microservices is good stuff for deployment and development, but it’s bringing some challenges for testing. The contract testing approach will help and in this workshop, you can learn more about that.

Testing tools seem to focus on throughput: how many tests can we run per unit time? Kent suggest an alternative: mean time to first failure. How long does a programmer have to wait until seeing a test fail (in the case that one fails)?

Microservices is good stuff for deployment and development, but it’s bringing some challenges for testing. The contract testing approach will help and in this workshop, you can learn more about that.

Many people think that testers need to write E2E tests and nothing else. This is what happens in many teams. But how correct is this in 2021, when you hear about DevOps, Docker, TestOps, CI/CD, and other "odd" things? How right is it not to use the infrastructure and experience of colleagues in the shop?

We'll talk about Pipeline static analysis, unit and integrated testing, CI/CD for Jenkins Pipeline... with help of Jenkins Pipeline.

Within 2 hours we will analyze the architecture and write in Python from scratch the core of a wrapper around Selenium Webdriver with API in the style of Selenide/Selene, along the way, focusing on the usefulness of all added features, and why what is already available in Selenium WebDriver is not enough for effective implementation of high-level user-oriented UI tests.

The talk will discuss common flaws in systems written in Angular: why they occur, how to find and test them. General recommendations for safe programming and testing will be given.

How to spend less time on writing typical tests in Postman, generate tests automatically (not data for tests, but tests themselves), and make updating of test collection way easier when API changes occur.

Certification is the next step after the basic certifications in the direction of Agile. The talk will cover:

• the release of the first incremental certification;
• why the new direction Agility at Scale was chosen;
• the modern approach to quality management;
• why it is important to create a quality culture in teams and the organization.

Several techniques of the Declarative approach to the Test Design will be present during this report. One of the possible Architecture solutions of the Test Automation Framework with support of MBT/MVVN will be provided.

Aleksandr will share his experience in working with the safety-critical software and the explain the reasons why both its testing and verification processes are significantly different from the ones used for other types of software. Another subject worth considering is reduction of cost and time efficiency by implementing shrewd planning and forward-looking approach in automatization.

We will talk about the schedule, sessions, and share the information. Join the broadcast to find out what's on the air soon!

At Ozon Mobile QA engineers usually act as release engineers.This helps them speed up development and testing processes, as well as build expertise that is not typical of QA engineers. Daria will tell about one of such features, the automated creation of a Merge Request.

Panel discussion is not recorded!

And the problems are still the same... Let's talk about common issues with leads:

1. Is it okay for a testing lead not to test?
2. Who should the team development initiative come from?
3. How to live with imposter syndrome?

Daria will talk about the difficulties which you may face when working with an unusual product, and also what steps from the experience of her team you may take when trying any new feature.

Modern banks are ready to experiment, but one has to understand possible benefits and risks from applying new approaches, like TCR.
