Our guests share real-world experiences that highlight the benefits of thorough testing, challenges like test maintenance, and problem-solving for complex production environments. Key topics discussed in this episode: How to find a balance that's cost-effective and practical while testing Balancing test coverage and development speed The importance of clear test plans and goals So many tests: Unit testing, integration testing, acceptance testing, penetration testing, automated vs. manual testing Agile vs. Waterfall methodologies Writing readable and maintainable tests Testing edge cases and unexpected scenarios Testing as a form of documentation and communication Advice for developers looking to improve testing practices Continuous integration and deployment Links mentioned: https://smartlogic.io/ Watch this episode on YouTube! youtu.be/unx5AIvSdc Bob Martin “Clean Code” videos - “Uncle Bob”: http://cleancoder.com/ JUnit 5 Testing for Java and the JVM https://junit.org/junit5/ ExUnit Testing for Elixir https://hexdocs.pm/exunit/ExUnit.html Code-Level Testing of Smalltalk Applications https://www.cs.ubc.ca/~murphy/stworkshop/28-7.html Agile Manifesto https://agilemanifesto.org/ Old Man Yells at Cloud https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/019/304/old.jpg TDD: Test Driven Development https://www.agilealliance.org/glossary/tdd/ Perl Programming Language https://www.perl.org/ Protractor Test Framework for Angular and AngularJS protractortest.org/#/ Waterfall Project Management https://business.adobe.com/blog/basics/waterfall CodeSync Leveling up at Bleacher Report A cautionary tale - PETER HASTIE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4SzZCwB8B4 Mix ecto.dump https://hexdocs.pm/ectosql/Mix.Tasks.Ecto.Dump.html Apache JMeter Load Testing in Java https://jmeter.apache.org/ Pentest Tools Collection - Penetration Testing https://github.com/arch3rPro/PentestTools The Road to 2 Million Websocket Connections in Phoenix https://www.phoenixframework.org/blog/the-road-to-2-million-websocket-connections Donate to Miami Indians of Indiana https://www.miamiindians.org/take-action Joel Meador on Tumblr https://joelmeador.tumblr.com/ Special Guests: Charles Suggs and Joel Meador.

What are the biggest, most common mistakes in QA testing? Why does that happen? Do we REALLY still need manual testing today? We'll answer all these questions and more on this episode of the Test Automation Experience!

Welcome to another episode of Automation Explanation, an Agile Thought Podcast, where you will learn about quality through automated testing and its place in modern software development.   This week, your hosts, Antwan Maddox and Greg Burdick are talking about the crucial value of Automation Strategy; they dive deep into its history and origins, as well as explain its role in regard to Testing and the significance of the whole Development Team to be included in the process. Antwan and Greg also discuss the types of Testing approaches that are used to leverage Automation and the patterns to avoid.   Key Takeaways Test Automation Engineers or Quality Automation Engineers? In order to be in alignment with ISTQB® Certification, the formerly called Quality Automation Engineers are now referred to as Test Automation Engineers. It's a unification of terminology. Why is Automation Strategy important? “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.” Benjamin Franklin A plan of execution is needed to assure effectiveness and efficiency. The history of Automation Strategy, where does it come from? It comes from experience in the past. As Automation progressed, some of the technology around Automation had to change. The Automation Strategy is owned by the entire Development Team. What is the significance of Quality? Lowering the anxiety and the stress around deployment. Automation Strategy explained: The Automation Strategy defines the who, what, when, where, and how of Test Automation. It is a plan that is agreed upon and understood by the entire Development Team for creating and maintaining Automation Test to help ensure higher ROI, increase coverage and availability, and faster time to market, in a way that is repeatable. Collaboration and response to change are two key pillars of Agile that sustain the Automation Strategy. Automation was not designed to catch bugs; it happens to catch them since it is set in a repeatable path. What should be included in Automation Strategy? First, you need to understand your why, what is your goal? That will help you establish the technique, the tools, and the process in building Automation, and the technology that is going to be used to support those goals, as well as help you determine who are the members that need to be on the Team to support that Automation. It will help you define what additional technologies are going to be needed and the environments you are planning to run against. What types of testing approaches are used to leverage Automation? The Shifting Left approach is a great way to Test Application components. Test Automation solutions need to be embedded in the application. It is a way of preventing risk quickly. Model-Based Testing. Contract Testing. The Team is in alignment with the continuous Test Maturity Model, it is a whole Team approach. Models for success: Which organizations are modeling the right way of doing Automation Tests for success? Google understands Automation. It is only possible when the whole organization has been educated on Automation, they are all supportive, and know their roles in regard to Automation. Agile does not mean to move fast, that is why Quality is important. Patterns to avoid. It is hard to bridge Manual Testing and Automation; a really mature Team approach is needed. Quality Engineers must focus over the long haul on prevention of production-based risk; features that are being delivered must be tested to make sure they work.   Mentioned in this episode:   Want to Learn More or Get in Touch?

Welcome to the Testing Peers this episode we discuss the term manual testing. Does the term simplify our craft? Is manual testing writing step by step test cases, is it using your hands, is it a low skilled job? How do we talk about testing and how does that impact perceptions? Is code just another tool to get testing done?We discus our thoughts over a wide range angles looking at manual testing, but what are your thoughts? What does the term manual testing mean to you? Why not get in touch and let us know what the term conjures up to you!Thank you for listening. Please do get in touch if you would like to know more or would like to give us feedback to help us improve and grow.ContactUs@TestingPeers.comTwitter (https://twitter.com/testingpeers)LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/testing-peers)Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/testingpeers/)Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/TestingPeers)We're also now on GoodPods, check it out via the mobile app storesIf you like what we do and are able to, please visit our Patreon to explore how you could support us going forwards: https://www.patreon.com/testingpeersSaffron QA is a provider of recruitment and consultancy services, exclusively for the software testing industry.You can find out more at https://saffronqa.co.uk/  or on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/company/saffron-qa/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/testingpeers)

Matt and Ben discuss whether the city of Portland exists, and decide they don't care. Ben argues that you should test your code manually. Matt talks about when government regulators made him build an observable system, and how great it was. Really, it was great!

QA Supermarket provides comprehensive QA testing services on-demand and with competitive, completely transparent prices. The company is on a mission to offer Manual Testing as SaaS. The startup was founded by current CEO Paul Belevich, whose previous roles include Product Development Director at Blue Lithium (acquired by Yahoo!) and GM of Wargaming Research and Development Center in Austin. Most recently, he was founded software development company Software2Life. I wanted to learn more about how they found a way to change a long, boring, and difficult application testing to an easy, transparent, and hassle-free one. We talk about the differences between Automated and Manual testing. We discuss what trends they are noticing in the industry. We also bust a few myths and misconceptions in the world of application testing,  

While the demand for automation testing is increasing, manual testing is still not dead. It is due to the inability of automated testing to completely replicate the way how humans assess and test the software precisely. Manual testing services are essential in order to examine and eliminate the potential flaws that may occur after automation testing.

Manual software testing has been the cornerstone of software testing ever since software testing was set up. All test engineers and software QA staff, developers and programmers test their code manually, at least to some degree. Though it is a critical element of software testing, it is certainly not the be-all and end-all. 

Jeanne Schmidt discusses how manual testers have the opportunity to "thrive" as organizations continue to look for how to scale their test automation initiatives to new heights. Learn how testers can offer invaluable input to automation engineers from when test strategies are being defined, all the way through to during automation retrospectives.

Serge Lucio, IBM Rational, introduces listeners to James Whittaker, Test Director of Google and Thought Leader, as he shares his thoughts on how the world of software testing is changing, how Google is moving forward adopting change, and how IBM is moving forward to embrace this change.
