Code vs. Clicks: The Shifting Landscape of Performance Testing
Guillaume Bétaillouloux - Co-founder at Octoperf
+
We will look at how performance testing is changing and why it's better to use simple, user-friendly tools instead of complex code-based ones. We show how an easy-to-use interface can make load testing simple for everyone in your team. Instead of relying solely on complex open-source tools, we explain the benefits of making performance testing accessible to everyone in your organization. This not only will boost overall efficiency but also remove the headaches of dealing with complicated testing setups.Watch recording ->
Embedding Mocking into your Katalon Test Suites to Solve Dependency Headaches
Dan Perovich - Head of Sales Engineering and Customer Success at WireMock
+
Internal APIs are ubiquitous in modern software development. However, the handover between the team building the API and the team that’s meant to consume it tends to break down - resulting in late feedback and considerable delays in shipping features and products. In this workshop, we'll work with WireMock Cloud's API prototyping feature that allows developers to collaborate and iterate better from the initial design discussions through integration testing. We refer to this approach as mock-first API prototyping.Watch recording ->
The Holy Grail of Testing: Have we found it?
Sérgio Freire - Director of Solution Architecture & Test Management at Xray
+
Will the next Indiana Jones uncover the Holy Grail of Testing? What is it anyway? What makes us chase that artifact? Is there any way of making testing perfect in all that it embraces? Let's dive into it together!Watch recording ->
Testing AI, AI-Driven Systems, and Machine Learning Pipelines
Ben Johnson-Ward - Lead Solutions Engineer at Curiosity Software
