Fuelled by the demand for more intuitive user experiences, firms are coming up with innovative ways to drive their development and testing goals. This has snowballed into firms having fragmented and increasingly complex tool chains, leading to inefficiencies across the software development lifecycle. Companies need to streamline their development and testing processes to remove friction and enable teams to focus on testing and not test infrastructure. Selecting a scalable end to end infrastructure can eliminate testing inefficiencies, reduce developer frustrations and increase release velocity. In this session, we will explore how economic trends are impacting the future of software testing, the need to streamline testing across the software development lifecycle and discuss how BrowserStack plans to support various testing types and provide an end-to-end test ops platform.

Accelerating Mobile Test Automation with “Quality Advocacy”

Mobile test automation has become increasingly complex, with projects involving multiple teams, technologies, and stakeholders. This complexity has made it more challenging to ensure that the mobile application is of high quality, meets user needs, and is delivered on time and within budget. QA advocates play a crucial role in addressing these challenges. They help organizations to adopt quality assurance practices and tools that can improve the quality of software and reduce the risk of defects and other issues. Join this session with Nithin S.S to gain insights on the role of QA (Quality Advocates) in the test automation journey.

Fuelled by the demand for more intuitive user experiences, firms are coming up with innovative ways to drive their development and testing goals. This has led to firms having increasingly complex tech stacks, each with its unique reporting mechanism which in turn makes it difficult for QAs to get a holistic picture of test health or narrow down to the root cause in case of test failure. With test flakiness being the biggest headache of teams, it becomes imperative for them to discover such scenarios early in the development cycle before they reach production. The success of QA is not just limited to monitoring the status of your tests, which can be achieved by dashboards available as part of third-party cloud platforms. It also encompasses tracking other parameters like test suite health and performance as your tests grow over time. In this session, our thought leaders will discuss the current state of QA testing and how industries are adopting innovative reporting mechanisms. Given the current macroeconomic scenario, the panelists will also share tips for speeding up your testing pipelines while optimizing costs, so you can focus on innovation rather than cutting out the edges.

DevOps and QA have evolved to become more integrated and collaborative due to the increasing demand for faster software releases. DevOps emphasizes automation, continuous delivery, and rapid feedback, while QA has shifted to a more integrated approach with a focus on testing early and often. Today, organizations have embraced the DevOps-QA handshake as a cultural shift that brings together development, operations, and QA teams to continuously improve software quality and delivery. Looking forward, key trends including AI-powered testing, automation as a norm, and shift-left testing frameworks are likely to shape the next decade. But the question is, how can you stay ahead of the curve and ensure your organization is well-positioned to take advantage of these opportunities? Join this panel discussion as we discuss, the evolution of QA over the last decade, the critical handshake between DevOps & QA to sail through the current market demands and how to stay ahead of the curve with the changing tech trends
