AI helps me! I have a lot of tests to analyze

Most developers create tests to check whether the applications work fine or not. Still, if something happens with the tests, they need to verify which are the reasons and categorize them, which implies too much time. What happens if there is a mechanism that can infer and categorize the problems for us?

During this talk, you will see the problems that could appear when you have errors or issues with your different types of tests and how the existing tools that most developers use must provide an automatic way to categorize or predict if other ones could be connected. You will learn how to ReportPortal collect and parse the information of the execution of the tests using machine learning can infer if different types of errors have certain similarities and show you that information with the idea of validating it. Also, you will see the relevance of having information on the previous executions and metrics about the evolution of our tests.

Smoke Tests and Mirrors - The Magic in Test Automation

Having been a magician for 35 years, I started noticing that some magic principles and theories also apply to software testing. In this session, I will try to connect those two seemingly unrelated subjects. This will show that everything you learn has an impact on how you behave and what you do professionally.
This is based on a series of blog posts that I wrote about this subject with more to come in the future: https://www.softwaretester.blog/tag:magic,automation
Key takeaways:
• See how experiences in a completely unrelated field can be highly beneficial for your professional life
• Think about aspects of software testing from a different angle
• Get to know a little more about the magic world and have some fun with it

Tree in the Forest: Managing Details in BDD Scenarios

Scenarios are the central artifact of the Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) process. Although many teams use scenarios and tools like Cucumber or SpecFlow to automate them, in many cases their scenarios contain a lot of details, particularly test data, and therefore they become too complicated to support collaboration with the business. The "essential" principle of scenario writing (scenario formulation) states that only those details should be included in the scenario that are relevant for the outcome. This talk provides help for those who struggle implementing this principle or would be interested to learn how you can create brief and maintainable scenarios.

The Prime Directive of Automation in Testing is a (ka)HOOT

Automation in Testing (AiT) should not be taken lightly, otherwise it becomes a successful formula for failure. That is why its beginning, the Prime Directive, is extremely important. In this presentation René explains circumstances that make this failure possible and focusses on that first step that should be or should have been taken. To support this Prime Directive there are many questions that teams who wish to engage (!) in Automation in Testing need to answer and we will discuss some of those questions with in absolute kahoot! style. So get your kahoot! skills in order and join this session by René, the Testimist.
