It’s been a year since the second version of Allure was released. During this time the number of tests has drastically increased, we started using new tools and learned to visualize information about the quality of our tests. All these changes had an impact on Allure, so now we’ve released a new major version of our test report. This talk will be useful both for those who are not familiar with Allure test report and for active users. We’ve added lots of new features. Come and join the talk! Automation Anastasiya Aseeva Test Automation Team Leader, Alfa-Bank, Russia I'm in IT since 2007. I managed to work in different areas, I was even a developer 1C and admin. Crazy about the Linux console :) In the QA industry since 2012. I passed all the roles, from manual QA to QA Lead. I took part in testing more than two dozen projects for 4 years. Also participated in the development of two frameworks for test automation. I implemented the hybrid cloud infrastructure in the Bank. My mission is to spread the culture of quality and DevOps Shift-Left Testing The cheapest way to develop is the one where the artifacts are delivered to users in ONE iteration. Without 10+ iterations of improvements due to errors found. We will talk about the shift left testing approach that is gaining popularity. Its purpose is to prevent the occurrence of errors instead of searching for mistakes already made in the software. Testing with a left shift assumes that testing and development work in tandem and as the name suggests, testing is carried forward to the earliest stages of development. - You will learn why you need to test requirements and documentation. And also consider what engineering practices help make this a part of the culture in the team. (code review, pull request, spec by example, bdd, atdd) - I'll talk about different kinds of automated tests and when to write them, in order to reduce the number of manual tests in the late stages of product development. (tdd, bdd, atdd, component and integration tests) - We will analyze how joint team activities and functional duties of each team member change to conform this methodology. (Planning, grooming, retrospective, demo, dsm, compiling a test strategy, planning testing). - I will tell why it is so important to design the test models using test-design practices, rather than relying solely on exploratory testing. We will look at the testing of control flow, cycles, data flows. I will show practical examples of why developers need to master the skills of test design. - In conclusion, I will tell about one of the ways to calculate test coverage and how it differs from code coverage. As an example, we will draw a graph of requirements and check the coverage of the test model. The entire talk will be done with the example of testing a very simple application, consisting of a single service, a database and a WEB-page. Shift left testing underlies the Agile and DevOps methodologies. Management Diana Pinchuk QA Engineer, GetSocial BV, Ukraine A curious test engineer with experience in testing different fields, co-organizer of GDG Lviv community and GDG Deafest Ukraine conference. Fan of podcasts and tech blogs (sometimes I write on Medium), ISTQB Advanced (TM) certified Progressive Web Apps, Android Instant Apps & Accelerated Mobile Pages - will they substitute installable mobile apps? The perspective of creating a mobile app that doesn’t need to be downloaded and reviewed in the App Store is very attractive, especially when there is more than one analog for installable apps: Progressive Web Apps (PWA), Android Instant Apps (AIA) and Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP). But here there is no silver bullet: each of the mentioned technologies has its own peculiarities of development, support, and testing. In the lecture, we’ll explore each of the platforms in detail and compare them with “usual” mobile apps, so to be ready for quality assurance even in such new and unusual projects Functional testing Ivan Krutov Developer, Aerokube, Russia Having more than 10 years of Java and Golang experience. Building large scale software infrastructure during the last 4 years. Maintaining big Selenium cluster with 5000+ browsers being run in parallel. One of the core contributors of the Selenoid project and related tools 1001 reasons to use Ggr in your Selenium installation Modern software development is impossible without efficient tools. Quality assurance and especially browser automation is not an exclusion. When your team grows you will need more and more browsers being run in parallel. Well known Selenium server and Selenium Grid architecture are known to become slow and unstable even with several dozens of running browsers. Ggr is lightweight solution proven to work in a big cluster with thousands of parallel browser sessions. This talk will cover in detail Ggr - an extremely efficient Selenium load balancer absolutely necessary when you need to have more than several dozens of browsers running in parallel. We will begin with Selenium load balancing basics and go through all important Ggr features. You will see for example how easy is to show live browser screen and download recorded video for any browser session from hundreds of Selenium hosts. Automation Святослав Логин QA-lead Core team, Evo.company, Ukraine Total experience in testing for more than 5 years, for this period of time worked on 6 projects. At the moment I have been working at Evo.company for more than 4 years, on the Prom + project in the Core team, which is developing: - CMS for sellers - Online chat shopper-seller - API, for those who need to connect to their CRM system - API for mobile applications on iOS and Android What is Metasploit? How do I use it to test project security? It's not a secret to anyone that when developing a project, few people pay enough attention to application security checks, and even when they think about it, they often overlook the vulnerability of hardware and the OS that communicates with your application. I'll tell you and show you what to look for when testing the security of your product, and how important it is to apply security testing. Well, as usual, I accompany my reports not only with theory but also with practical examples. times the special guests will be: - Nmap - Metasploit - Ettercap Non-functional testing Galyna Doksvel PM, SM, EPAM, Ukraine Project Manager and Scrum-master in EPAM Ukraine. Hands-on Agilist. Learning events designer and gamification adept Estimate everything. Practitioner toolkit. This talk is about practice of estimation and about the toolkit, that allows to improve estimation accuracy and make your forecasts more predictable and manageable. Talk is practically-oriented that serves as a good clue on how to try any of mentioned approaches with your teams Management Kateryna Shepelieva Lead Software Testing Engineer, EPAM, Ukraine 9 years in IT, worked in Ciklum, Lohika, GeekForLess. Currently work in EPAM Case study: Users migration testing I want to talk about our experience of migrating users to a database of a 3rd party system, how we were choosing approaches and scenarios for testing, what challenges we faced, what useful conclusions have been made. No theory, only a case study with real examples Functional Алина Хоменко QA Engineer, TDNA, Ukraine There is everything in her responsibilities: web and mobile testing, performance tests and covering projects with automation. She likes her work for complicating developers' lives. Experimentalist at work, Mad Hatter in the spirit. Alina cannot sit back, so she spends her free time at lectures and takes part in it-competitions Mobile Testing. Pinpointing invisible problems Testing is still developing, and mobile testing in particular. What is included in the performance of the mobile application and what metrics can be distinguished? How does Charles help with performance testing? Are Monkey Exerciser, Android Profiler, and Battery Historian only developer tools or the best friends of the testers in the non-functional testing of the mobile application? The purpose of my report is to talk about common invisible problems, which affect the quality of mobile applications, but which are often forgotten in the testing process. Functional Nikita Syskov Software Testing Team Leader, EPAM, Belarus Test expert with 11+ years in industry. Participated in various back-end and client-side projects across multiple domainы in both testing and leading positions. Over the past years was involved in managing distributed test teams, competency building and delivery management Gambling with the devil: taming all the risks Whenever you are planning to do something big - you need to account for risks that something may break you plans. Be it late arrival to the airport of broken demo environment. Risks are all around us and we need to accept this and learn how to live in a peaceful harmony with them. There are different things you can try to play with risks, and there are different outcomes you may wish to achieve. So let's see how to apply them in different cases and get the best ROI from risk management (or even just risk definition) Management Oleksandr Khotemskyi Intependent SDET Contractor, Self-Employed, Ukraine Specialist in functional test automation. Engaged in the development of automation projects in different languages (JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Python) and different types (Web, API, Desktop, iOS, Android, Gamedev). Finalist and judge of Ukrainian Dev Challenge. Coach at StartIT. Speaker at QA conferences Using voice assistants for development and testing Voice assistants can be an interesting and fun replacement for regular chat bots. Such assistants can be used to perform almost any of your commands and they recognize voices well. This leads to interesting use cases and gives additional channel of information. Let's see why we might need them, and if it turns out that they are useless - at least we'll know it Automation Michael Bodnarchuk Tech Consultant, SDCLabs, Ukraine Michael is a passionate web developer from Kyiv, Ukraine. One day he started to think how to get more developers into testing so he started his own testing framework, Codeception. Nowadays, he is a lead developer of Codeception (PHP) and CodeceptJS testing frameworks. "Testing should be fun" - is his motto ATDD with CodeceptJS: Effective Testing Without Pain Testing is hard. Despite all read tutorials and courses not everyone is following the TDD approach. The idea looks nice in general but brings pain on implementation. What is wrong with our testing? Let’s find out! This talk will be interesting for frontend and backend developers as we will look into: - what makes effective tests - three qualities of tests - how not to mix specification and implementation in tests - how to predict future and work following ATDD - how to write end to end tests with CodeceptJS Automation Yevhen Rudiev QA Automation Lead, GamePoint, Ukraine QA Automation Lead at GamePoint. Primary focused on the development of distributed systems. Agile practitioner. Has experience in building test automation processes from scratches. A fan of micro-services architecture and DevOps processes UI testing in Unity3D – fantasy or reality? Automated testing is a big rarity in GameDev. The Product is very specific and it is easier to test it manually… Frequent changes of the product… Lack of technologies to start automation from scratch. There are a lot of excuses why we don’t do automated testing in GameDev. But what if you spend tons of time in regression testing, again and again you need to click every UI element before a new release or a patch? The talk is about automated testing of games in Unity3D. How we automated our UI testing, why we decided to write our own UnityDriver and how we did it. And finally I will share with you small tips and tricks that might be helpful in your automation Automation PRICE QA Fest 2018 - September 21-22 Early Bird - 150 USD (sold out) Main Stream - 200 USD 300 tickets Last Chance - 250 USD Pay by card Request an invoice You can request a refund until August 31st, 2018 (payment system commission 5,5% will be withheld).
