Many people ask why they would bother looking at a model for testing. Why add the expense and effort to implement a model when the current process works and all the testing is proceeding well (save for those few nasty bugs that made it out to production and cost us several customers and a lot of good will).
Join TASSQ for a brief overview of the TMMi model; three reasons why you might want to consider a model with associated ROI; and a way of implementing

With 2020 seeing an unprecedented rise in online shopping, the number of ecommerce apps in the app store has increased by 40% year over year. We’ve been paying special attention to ecommerce apps and have taken the past year to develop a clear testing methodology for launch and maintenance.
In this talk, we’ll share best practices for testing an ecommerce app both before release and once it’s live in the app store, covering at least six different types and methods of testing, including manual, regression, load, and accessibility testing.
We’ll also be holding a live user acceptance testing session based on a mature ecommerce app we launched last year, and then we’ll be th

It’s a well-known fact you can achieve high software quality by starting your quality efforts early in the development lifecycle, aka “shift-left”. Still, it’s all too common for software to be promoted to QA environments with many easily preventable defects, often for alleged reasons such as “lack of time” or “it’s not our job to do QA”.
After thoroughly studying the issue, and its root causes, Parasoft applied carefully chosen algorithms and machine learning to maximize effective static code analysis, based on dynamically learned behaviour from each project team. We then addressed the perennial problem of low code coverage for unit tests, using AI to guide dev/QA professionals as they create effective and open source unit test code for their b

Want to improve quality processes across your project delivery teams, standardize best practices, reduce ramp-up time, and make your QA team more autonomous?
Create a Quality playbook.
A playbook contains all the pieces and parts that make up our go-to approach for getting things done. The playbook provides step-by-step quality guidelines and actions, along with practical templates and examples from prior projects that can be adopted on future projects. When there are successful ways of working that bring proven results, creating a "how to" playbook can provide a guide for delivery teams that can be used, adapted and improved upon with each project.
In this presentation, we'll talk about what a Quality playbook is, how to create one, how to implement, as well as introduce you to better practice

Behavior Driven Development (BDD) is a very powerful tool when implemented correctly; if not, it becomes a nightmare.
Organizations are driven by the buzz words around BDD: shift-left, test-driven, code reuse, clarity, automation; to name just a few. While these are some of the benefits of BDD, they can only be realized when implementing BDD correctly; and that means organizations have to not only understand what BDD is, and what it is not, but they also have to plan properly.
In this talk, Bernd Bornhausen will describe some of the common pitfalls an organization can encounter while implementing BDD. These can be enc

Every manager involved with Quality, regardless of industry sector, will agree on the validity of this simple statement: “Quality is an ongoing process. There’s no final destination where we can stop and rest on our laurels.”
This statement comes with a hidden imperative: Constantly increasing Quality requires Constant Change.
This is evident in the overlapping S-Curves in Maturity models. We reach Quality limits within existing approaches and must shift to new process to achieve greater levels of quality.
Each process shift requires a Change to processes that allowed us to achieve existing Quality levels.
This means that while much of Quality Assurance is about making sure processes become part of the Culture, there’s a critical requirement for bringing Change about, sometimes having to disrupt processes and cultures that have resulted in huge gains with respect to Quality. In these situations, Machiavelli’s quote always comes to mind;
There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.
There are good reasons for the popularity of this quote, changing what’s working, in order to work better… is difficult.
This webinar will address two topics:
1. The Virginia Satir Change Process – with attention paid to the inevitable connection to Maturity Models.
2. A Template for communicating any type of Change.
Who should attend? : Anyone and everyone mandated to make things better.
Takeaways: The additions to their Quality Assurance Toolkit they will take away?
1. An understanding of a Change Process Model that explains WHERE resistance originates, and the different phases involved in accepting a Change – whether it is externally imposed, or internally demanded.
2. A Communications framework supported by the Change Model, that focuses o
