A lot of development teams write tests to check that their code behaves as intended. However, the quality of these tests is unfortunately often underappreciated. If any attention is paid to test quality at all, it is typically done in terms of code coverage, which, as attendees will see from examples I'm using in the talk, is a flawed metric. Yet, teams rely on the results of these tests in their software development lifecycle. Isn't there a better way to get information about the quality of our tests?
In this talk, participants will get a practical introduction to mutation testing and how this technique can be used to get better insight into the quality of their tests. After covering the underlying concepts of mutation testing and how it tries to address the above issues, I will conduct a live demo of mutation testing, covering:

We live in an incredibly hectic and easily distracted era, where our daily routines and surroundings often confine us to a narrow perspective. Certain individuals adopt a stagnant mindset, resulting in an average existence. On the other hand, those who embrace a growth mindset open themselves to the vast world beyond their immediate surroundings, experiencing exponential personal growth. By making subtle adjustments in how we engage our minds, we can

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been increasingly proliferating, and we have witnessed AI-augmented decision-making around us in recent years. However, it is often difficult to articulate all the challenges and benefits of using AI in a specific scenario, and it is unclear whether AI brings the intended value compared to its associated risks. In a real-world AI-based system, the i

Have you ever worked on a project where quality was not wanted?
Have you noticed that the definition of quality can be organization, department/group, person, as well as project/product/service, or even customer circumstance specific?
In this presentation the question "what is quality" is answered as

Does Software Testing regularly hold things up? In this talk, Johnston Harris will show how Automatic Risk Based Testing helps QA Teams alleviate common pain points, such as Slow Test Cycles, Flaky Tests, Lengthy Overnight Testing, Delayed Feedback, and Missed Releases.
Risk Based Testing allows your team to automatically select and execute only the few tests impacted by recent code changes on a Per Commit Basis, rather than run the full test suite of mostly unaffected tests.
Accelerate automation te

In the software testing game, it is all about the details. Testing is really a simple thing to describe; does the software behave as expected? The complexity comes in knowing the details of what to expect and then designing tests to verify the behavior is as expected. Human brains are great at testing

Measuring software engineering productivity in general is controversial. Many feel it can't be done, while others strongly resist even trying. As just one part of software engineering, testing presents special additional productivity and measurement concerns. Explore what makes measuring productivity difficult, especially for testing, and why and how to measure testing (and testers') productivity.
