BDD: the Who, What, Where, When, Why and How.
In this session, we will take a different look at BDD. We will examine it from a birds-eye perspective. We won’t be looking at BDD merely as a testing technique, but as a holistic methodology for delivering business value to stakeholders.BDD was born out of a frustration with TDD. Old methods weren’t delivering the results that Business expected, so TDD had to evolve to include the Business in the conversation. This workshop will begin by looking at the Who, What, When, Where and Why of BDD. We will talk about how BDD is for the entire team; it is a means of collaboration, not for testing! The second part of the workshop will be a live coding session where we will see the How of BDD! This will be where we explore Outside In development. We will use Cucumber and Groovy to write a small application using the principals above. By the end of this session, you should have a deeper understanding of BDD, as well as providing you with a practical means of achieving your goals in collaboration with the rest of your team.
Marco Vermeulen is a South African Software Developer who works and lives in London. He is passionate about writing well crafted code, driven and guided by tests.

Session on Cool JVM Tools to Help you Test.
Description: Sometimes we do not want to talk process, we do not like to business, we just want to talk tech – juicy, geeky tech. This is what we are going to do in this session – talk tech. The great thing about the JVM is that it is cross-platform and therefore useable on the platforms that most of us delivery products upon. Even if your core development platform is not the JVM, you still avail yourself to some of these tools to make your testing life easier. We are going to have whirl-wind tour through unit-testing, integration-testing, functional-testing, web-testing and API-testing. We are also going to look automating and deploying build infrastructure, making your life easier, so that you can have more time to spend on the most important part of testing – thinking. This session if also a pre-cursor to the post-conference workshop that I’ll be presenting. Which tools am I going to demonstrate? Come to the session and find out!
Schalk Cronje experience in the software industry spans three decades and has spoken and taught on various software delivery techniques in the UK, USA, India and South Africa. He has been an early adopter of test-driven design and development at all levels of testings and has applied TDD in many programming languages and on various platforms. One specific library he can recall is still in daily usage and is used in scanning millions of emails world-wide, yet the customer defect rate is less than one per year, all which can be attributed to TDD.

Featured Session: Testing Women Leadership Café
Testing discipline has attracted women in larger percentage than any other profession. Women have excelled in this profession. While there are 50% or more women fresh engineers in testing at the entry level, the percentages dwindle as we consider higher levels in the career ladder. This is not a usual diversity talk on how women should manage their work-life. This session is about technical leadership stories of women who have progressed in their testing careers. Lets hear the inspirational career success stories in a relaxed café conversation hosted by Renu.

DevOps - Decoding the Da Vinci Code
DevOps is not a product, or even a particular technology. DevOps is a methodology that unites the often separate functions of softwaredevelopment (Dev) and production and operations (Ops) into a single, integrated, and continuous process. DevOps is about breaking down the barriers between Dev and Ops. It leverages people, processes, and technology to stimulate collaboration and innovation across the entire software development and release process. Dev and Ops must act and feel like they are a single team. But DevOps is never finished. Like a symphony orchestra learning a new score, or a sports team that has reached the playoffs,Dev and Ops have to keep pushing, collaborating in the pursuit of perfection. Since DevOps is never finished the paper concludes that it is a Fact or key factor of Software Value Chain

Digital Assurance – Today & Tomorrow
In today’s competitive business environment, IT development is increasingly driven by the customer experience. There is quite a paradigm shift a few years ago when IT organizations have embraced the agile and DevOps software development framework to overcome the hindrances of more traditional, rigid ‘waterfall’. At present, the market has reached its tipping point with digital at its fulcrum, manifested in multifaceted technologies. This further dictates the needs for the continuous quality through continuous testing using extreme automation viz. 4D Automation – end to end Application layers, across life cycle, varied technologies & devices, different testing types/levels…

Anti Patterns of BDD - What is going Wrong?
Behavior Driven development has been one of the most popular practice in Agile community. In the recent times it has grown beyond what its original creators have imagined it to be. Dan North and some of associates proposed BDD as a practice to bring business/domain expert community to what used to be Dev centric practice of TDD. They took help of DSL (domain specific languages) to allow requirements to be specified in business language of the application. They thought – this would address some of concerns of TDD and wanted to get to rid of loaded phrase “Test”. It worked fine as long as the practice was followed in its original spirit. Over a period of time several antipatterns emerged that took many benefits away. These anti patterns are threatening to reduce BDD to be a ceremony than a practice that helps Agile community in the true spirit of Agile Manifesto. In this talk – I will explore these anti patterns with a historical background and share some experience of we can overcome the challenges and make better use of BDD.

The New Gives and Takes in a Tester’s Role
In today’s dynamic software development world, software tester’s role is evolving fast – testers are moving into an empowering role enabling product team and stakeholders own quality. This is becoming inevitable in the continuous delivery mode we operate in and as testers, to get there we need to revisit our roles – to see what needs to be given away and what needs to be taken on. At this important time of role evolution let’s understand what those gives and takes are and what it takes for a tester to thrive in the industry.

50+ ways to improve tester-programmer relationship
This talk brings into picture a very important person – the programmer & the programming team. Each one of us might have the experience of working with at least one tough programmer. Some programmers are very friendly and help us with finding bugs. Some of them are very strict with their deliverables and do not respond to any queries outside office hours. Some hardly talk to you unless you ask them a question. There are different types of programmers and bring in variety to our testing challenges. With a rich experience of working with tough programmers, I present this talk to help you. I am very thankful to the programmers, especially the tough ones, as they are the ones who have taught me the most important lessons I had to learn to improve in my testing career.

Patterns of a good Test Automation Framework, Locators Data
Building a Test Automation Framework is easy – there are so many resources / guides / blogs / etc. available to help you get started and help solve the issues you get along the journey. However, building a “good” Test Automation Framework is not very easy. There are a lot of principles and practices you need to use, in the right context, with a good set of skills required to make the Test Automation Framework maintainable, scalable and reusable. Design Patterns play a big role in helping achieve this goal of building a good and robust framework.
In this talk, we will talk about, and see examples of various types of patterns you can use for:
1. Build your Test Automation Framework
2. Test Data Management
3. Locators / IDs (for finding / interacting with elements in the browser / app)
Using these patterns you will be able to build a good framework, that will help keep your tests running fast, and reliably in your CI / CD setup!

CODERS TESTERS - WE NEED NEW TESTING TOOLS (BRAINSTORMING)
A tool is something that helps a tester to test better. Nevertheless, Brain is the ultimate testing tool that nurtures the testing activity to be done better. And even when a tester thinks about a testing tool, it just means that he / she has an idea which was generated in the brain and want to use a particular tool to execute a test idea that was generated in the brain. We have plenty of tools in the computer world, just like plenty of fishes in the ocean. Having said that, these testing tools at times do not help a tester because of the limitations a tool provides or rather the feature was not thought of while developing it because it did not suit the context. Well, the good news is; computer programmers and software testers can come together to solve these problems quickly. This talk is going to help the audience to experience and ignite their brain to think in a new way in the path of innovating in testing tools, micro-services, utilities, web browser plug-ins and more.

Testing as a Container : using docker containers to deliver testing at speed
We see two upcoming trends in the world of software delivery.
1.Docker is becoming a standard for managing infrastructure using containers.
2.Testing code and its infrastructure starts to grow at scale with more complexity, dependencies and technology diversity.
A container is an entire portable runtime environment: an application, plus all its dependencies, libraries and other binaries, and configuration files needed to run it, bundled into one package. By containerizing the application platform and its dependencies ,all differences in OS distributions and underlying infrastructure are abstracted away which makes it easy to share and execute anywhere.
At this talk we will learn how to leverage the container technology to solve the challenges of growing testing infrastructure and continuous delivery with key focus on below items.
• Basics of the containers technology and specifically it’s application on the test automation.
• How Docker can reduce the time of test execution, ease the setup of clean test environments and drastically reduce the differences between the development, acceptance and production environments leading to the higher quality of the released software.
• Examples to containerize entire testing stack together consisting of major automation tools (selenium, appium, phantomjs), performance tools (jmeter,gatling) with cucumber.
• Integrating and managing testing container with other application containers to achieve easily manageable continuous delivery pipeline.
• Best practices and patterns for docker success.

QAF - Next GEN Intelligent Scriptless Automation Framework
Script Less and Intelligent Automation is a state of the art test automation framework code named as QAF. The session will be a hands on demo of the framework. It automates both cross browser web application on platform running on (Windows, MAC) and cross mobile applications for both Android and iOS. Its inherent ability to learn about test suite gives it an incredible advantage over other tools or frameworks available in the market. It helps assess critical scenarios and provide recommendations on the next regression execution. It supports and works as a backbone to existing scripts written in any language (.Net, Java, Ruby etc). QAF also understands behavioral language and has an ability to pick up features files and create base scripts for your tests. QAF API also has an ability to connect existing continuous environment tools and fit into daily agile needs in any project. Recommendation is that everyone who wants to learn a little bit of Selenium and Appium bring a laptop of their own – the code and information will be shared during this session.

One page to test them all
Page Object Model
Page Object Model was again a natural fit for this framework. Most implementations of POM recommend different POMs for each platform. But we wanted to have a single Page Object Model for all the 3 platforms to ensure maximum code reuse and reduce overall time spent in adding new automation.
Single Page Object Model across platforms
This is complicated because we had native screens as well as webview screens and so it was not possible to use the same Page Object. To solve this, we introduced abstractions for the elements on the screen and encapsulated the respective native driver implementations.
This also allowed us to implement common automation tasks in one place for e.g waiting for new pages to load, so that this code is not repeated across multiple step definitions and platforms. This helped us move to thinking in higher domain level concepts than in terms of low level UI interactions.
In this talk, walkthrough will given on how we designed this framework, what were our problems, and how we solved each one of them. Instead of giving you the solution upfront, we will present the problem to you, and discuss how they can be solved. And this will help you better appreciate the common problems in designing an automation framework and how they can solved using OO principles.

Products Fail because we Pass
A lot of products Fail in the market. When defects are found in production a lot of questions are asked to test teams. A typical defense by test team is showing test case coverage in terms of Pass/Fail. My entire talk is about what teams do against what users do.. What questions we should ask as testers, what we as testers should expect. This talk requires couple of microphones among audience as it is a complete interactive session.

Big Data - Hadoop and MapReduce - new age tools for aid to testing and QA
BigData with its slew of technologies and terms has been the most talked about area in last couple of years. This has evolved in Big Data Science, Analytics and now on the IoT and automation side. There is a need for testers and QA team to not only get used to this new age digital transformation area but at the same time embrace the technology to their own advantage. We have experimented and successfully used Big Data Technologies – Hadoop and MapReduce for a recent testing engagement. The actual application was implemented using classic technologies like CentOS and C++. Testing team implemented Hadoop and MapReduce to help in quick turnaround for the testing. We would like to showcase the entire case study on how the tools and technologies came in handy for a High Frequency Trading (HFT) application and had we not implemented the same what would we have missed. We would also share the entire CentOS/Hadoop/MapReduce VM with the participants. This would require the attendees to bring their own laptop with at least 4GB RAM (Available) so that they do some hands on exercises that we would like to share.

GUIDABLE INCLUSIONS - The crux of Mobile Apps Testing
A mobile app for every small aspect in our life is the in thing today. Be it talking to your family millions of miles away or simply clicking a picture and letting the whole world know in a matter of few seconds “how good a photographer you are!”, there is an app for everything.Business rely on these apps to build brand value, to spread their wings farther and most importantly, to make their customer’s life easy. While, these apps are a great way for the customers to interact with the businesses, it is extremely annoying to the customers when these apps do not function the way they are supposed to. Testing these apps becomes extremely important before of in most cases even after the customer has started using the app. GUIDABLE INCLUSIONS is not just a mnemonic but a framework which lets you explore your app in the best possible way giving you results which you would have normally missed. It helps you look beyond the UI aspect or as they say the “look and feel” of the app and notice how your apps react in response to the way you interact with them or vice versa.
This session dives deeper into the following,
G – Gestures
U – User Scenarios and Usability
I – Integration
D- Devices and Platforms
B- Browsers
L – Location
E- Efficiency
I – Interrupts
N – Notifications
C- Compliance
L- Localization
U –Updates
S – Synchronization
I – Interaction
O- Orientation
N – Network
S- Security

Using Docker for Testing
The early release of Docker (while it was in beta) was primarily used for testing. It was immediately accepted as the best tool which facilitated automation testing. Docker and its ecosystem have matured today to also support Docker in production. Tests typically include a number of different components like DB Server, App Server, Web server. Tests also depend on external services like MySQL, Redis. Moreover, the engineers are not very conversant with the testing infrastructure: A QA engineer should ideally focus on writing and executing tests. Failed tests pollute the test environment and resetting it back to a clean test environment is an overhead. Using Docker can address all these issues. This session aims to show how Docker can be effectively used in manual and automation testing. It will demonstrate how Docker can be used in CI + automation testing, which can form the base for your “continuous testing” approach.

Continuous performance testing and test automation made easy with Taurus, Jenkins and Jmeter
When it comes to performance testing, JMeter is awesome but may not be complete. In this session, we’ll take a look at Taurus which is a free and open source automation framework, which is basically an abstraction layer over JMeter (or Grinder or Gatling or Selenium, with more tool support upcoming). The taurus tests can be easily integrated with jenkins using the available plugins and helps us in running the tests seamlessly.
Making Test Automation Simple with Taurus and Jmeter and integration with jenkins:
• Extremely simple setup and upgrading
• Ability to execute existing JMeter (or Grinder or Gatling or Selenium) tests
• The ability to create new tests from scratch using user-defined files
• Real-time reporting
• Ability to integrate with Jenkins for Continuous integration of performance tests
• Multiple test output formats
• Native results format of the underlying testing tool
• Console stats and pseudo-graphic charts during the test execution
• Easy way to define flexible pass/fail criteria. In case the results exceed a threshold, it is possible to automatically mark test(s) as failed
• platform-independent- runs where Python and Java can run

Service Virtualization – An arm that comes “Handy”
As the software industry moves from the Monolithic to absolutely componentized Service oriented architecture paradigm, it is not generally uncommon to have integrations almost always and dependencies quite often between several services. With the world being open to using third party already built up services it is a common scenario where world class products integrate with vendor provided services. All these lead to a problem of having interdependencies on these vendors or service providers that may be internal cross geographic teams or external vendors.

Test Data Management
In a financial business world dominated by DATA intensive applications there is constant need to collect, manipulate, store and retrieve of large amounts of data. In addition most of the applications being process oriented require analysis and implementation of complex business rules to the data.
Few examples are taxation, customs, excise application, mutual funds, Fund Management organizations, where the underlying data typically scales over time.
Given that the tolerance for faults and errors in such applications is very small, focus has to be bought on how to effectively use data for robust functional testing.
Mostly the data challenges are possible to manage from a manual testing perspective, but that becomes very cumbersome and inefficient overtime, especially for regression testing.
In order to automate the regression of such applications, usually there are 2 options:
1. Automation tool and scripts build in the complex business rules and validation points in-line with the application. This implies that when tests are executed with multiple data sets, the values calculated by scripts should match the ones generated by the application.
2. The other approach is to use Managed Data to test the functionality of the application. This approach proves more beneficial for data intensive applications where input data is changing frequently. It allows the functionality to be tested against a predictable outcome and insulates the application from external and internal dependencies.
3. The focus of our discussion will be ‘Testing with Managed Data’ – framework details, prerequisites, pros and cons compared to other approaches.

Demystifying DevOPS
• Business leaders know the value of adopting DevOps but Development and Operations team still struggling on how to adopt. There is gap in understanding how to transform Business Objectives to best practices & Technology Implementation.
• Development and Operations teams have very narrow view of DevOps – they still think just CI / CD Automation is DevOps. Automated & Integrated ALM as an approach remove silos in the organization is missing.
• Agile Coaches are trained and practicing primarily on software development side of things. Cross functional perspective ranging from Product Management to Portfolioto Release management is something they don’t have exposure on.
• DevOps is big change. Industry needs coaches / architects ( change agents ) who are capable and accountable to drive this change.
• DevOps is about operational efficiency at an enterprise level for Software Development centers; Lean / Kanban principles are the key but there seems to be Gap in industry on how to apply these to Software Development e.g. How to select an ALM, On what basis to select CI/CD tools

Day 1 Test Engagement? Are you kidding me?
Purpose: To demonstrate how productivity can improve by engaging testers from the very first day of a sprint
Questions to ask yourself:
1. Does your team receive all the features at the end of the sprint for testing?
2. Do you have the concept of code freeze in your project?
3. Does your sprint usually spill over because testing is not completed?
4. Do you demonstrate features to your stakeholders that have not been tested?
5. and many more testing paradox…
If your answer to any of the above questions is YES, then it’s time to fix these problems.
In this session, not only will I demonstrate how you can engage your testing team from the very first day in order to start (that’s right, start) testing your application, but also help you achieve this by means of some simple exercises.

CI/CV/CD = Baking Continuos Validation into the CI/CD process
A detailed walkthrough of how we have implemented automated+manual validations at every signifcant step of the CI/CD process. This results in built-in quality gate by using automation functional validation with tools like selenium, cucumber, jmeter, junit being used across the full infra stack from dev up to production environemnt. These validation processes act as toll gate for promotion of build from one stage to another as well.

Application Security - The Agile Way
Traditionally application security has involved upfront design and a big bang penetration test after development. This leads to the phenomenon of “bolt-on” security that translates into increased cost and complexity. Drawing on our experience on real-world projects we show how security can be baked-in on an agile project. Using case studies we demonstrate how security concerns are captured during project inceptions, how developers write secure code, security testing is automated and how configuration management can help achieve secure deployments. This talk introduces several new concepts like secure by design, secure design patterns and lightweight code reviews.

Brace yourself from an automation death trap
We all in the voyage to test effectively always think about test automation & let me tell you, its no less crucial & important than production app code. Its a code/framework/architecture built to test your app code and catch some of app defects. This when placed in an eco-system of continuous integration & deployment takes a next level of importance. I have been fortunate enough to have had my share of failures & eventually learn out of it while automating. In this session, I wish to take my audience through the importance of automation in Agile, the essentials to think of while deciding the tools and also take some tangible take-aways while writing automation code. The take-aways will be some technical inputs which have immensely helped me to build flexible frameworks for delivery of enterprise products. The aspects this take-aways will touch are on the pressings issues an automation tester face around test data management, code modularization, defining the clarity on responsibilities of different modules/classes written in an automation framework. This session will be a good dialogue & overall making us think to stay away from the obvious failures.

Mobile Native Apps Performance Testing using open source tool JMeter
Challenge:
Performance Testing of Mobile Apps in Low Cost.
Solution:
We have come up with a platform independent approach to generate the scripts for Mobile native applications using real device interactions with server. We capture traffic using a proxy server with JMeter installed and routing all the requests from real device to this proxy server. This approach is much closer to the real world traffic simulation as compared to that of emulators and produces accurate performance testing results.

Automation testing approach for Responsive Web Design website
In the market today, there are a large number of devices with different resolutions and screen sizes. A tough competition exists wherein every client wants their website to run on all these devices.
Testing the same set of test cases on all the available devices in the market today is practically impossible due to the high cost factor, availability of all devices and amount of effort required to test on all these devices. Nowadays, most of the websites are being developed as Responsive web design(RWD) websites. The RWD websites layout will adjust based on the screen size and PPI of the device. The main challenge for testing RWD websites is that the automation script generated for one device one platform will only cover the functionality, behavior and workflow. But the same automation script running on different devices ignores the look and feel, Layout and UI alignment.
This Paper talks about using multiple tools available in the market currently for testing RWD website and our experiences related to them. We have focused majorly on screenshot analysis and pixel by pixel comparison. We also have capability to execute parallel test cases for RWD website across multiple devices having multiple resolutions in one go along with continuous integration using Selenium and Jenkins.

Continuous Testing - How to transform traditional testing to support agile project delivery, its challenges and best practices
This topic will cover How to transform traditional testing to support agile project delivery, its challenges and best practices.
Open source Vs Not so Open Source Tools Set, the trade off and where should we stop?
Automation is a big space and so is the solutions around it. There are high expectations from the expert to provide the best possible economic, efficient, easy to implement, easy to maintain, easy to adopt, easy to migrate solutions, which should be low risk with high throughput. Can this be achieved? Yes! But is takes a lot to reach here. And what enables an organization to reach a stage when they can claim that automation is getting implemented fairly and is giving expected ROI? It is a team of expert having a vast knowledge about the tools and technologies that make it possible. The question is how one selects which tool set to choose and what works best for a specific organization. It varies from the type of organization to what actually is important for the organization. For instance some may have quick ROI as there focus area, some may have quick result as there focus area and some may want both. The paper will cover various approaches towards tools and technology selection for giving the best possible automation solution.

Behavior Driven Development – with Analytics driven “Day-In-A-Life” approach (Stories from Microsoft, Reliance Jio& NICE
With systems getting larger and larger and more complex, it is becoming challenging to keep it with Testing the whole system and impacts user experience. Typically systems used to get designed & developed with “requirements and specifications”. But, we all know users use the system in a particular way and it may not be the same way it is designed. Large software systems like Outlook and Excel are used by millions of users worldwide – there are certain users use it in a way and others use it in different way. With Mobile apps it becomes even more critical. The key here to understand the behavior and plan the system accordingly. It is two way street – one, we need to come up with behavior patterns and create those stories and second need to have an in-built App monitoring in place to capture the “real” behavior. At Microsoft, we build a system to be able to do this called “Day-In-A-Life” and helped setup a story upfront and then measure and use it to optimize the user experience with inbuilt measures and analytics. In this presentation Mukesh Jain is going to share his experience implementing Behavior Driven Development – with Analytics driven “Day-In-A-Life” approach.

Test Automation in Agile
Our World Quality Report in 2009 indicated that less than 25% of organizations had implemented automation and the WQR 2015-16 indicates that the levels show a phenomenal increase to about 54%. The key drivers behind this are the need to speeden up the time to market being implemented by the adoption of Agile development and testing. The industry now, more widely than ever, acknowledges that better detection of defects is a direct benefit of automation. Our research in 2015 also indicates that reliance on manual testing has become the most important technical challenge for application development. How can we then link the benefits of automation and agile together? The biggest benefit is early detection of defects reducing the overall cost of quality. What does this mean to testing as a profession? Testers will have to undergo a paradigm mindset shift from manual testing in a waterfall model to more automated testing in a cloud or virtualized environment with weekly or fortnightly production deployments and stringent KPIs on reducing the cost of quality. In this topic, I will analyze the evolution of automation w.r.t. agile development and testing, some of the challenges that CxOs face w.r.t. investments in automation, best practices in agile automation and a sneak peek into the future of automation in the agile development world.
