Today’s guest is an inspiration for any test engineer out there who wants to drive their organization’s quality engineering and shift-left testing practices, working in a way that devs and testers can best collaborate. Get to know Andrey Momot, a QA Lead at WalkMe, the company that pioneered the Digital Adoption Platform to simplify user experiences by combining insights, engagement, guidance and automation capabilities. In our conversation, Andrey shares his keys to success in a team where developers are in charge of manual testing and the QA lead owns the overall test and automation strategy. 

Episode highlights:

- Collaborating with developers when you are the team’s sole QA
- How to sell the idea to developers to manually test their own code
- The test automation solution that WalkMe has success with
- What Andrey calls the “holy trinity of quality” and how teams can achieve it

Тестировщики уходят в автоматизацию и... деградируют (в программистов).
Опасности тернистого пути. Тестировщики уходят в автоматизацию и... развиваются (в автоматизаторов). Шах и мат
Деградация автоматизаторов в Европе,  а развитие - в России, Беларуси, Украине?

MSys Podcast - Introduction Of MSys Technologies

Test automation and CI/CD are evolving very rapidly to achieve great speed and impactful results by DevOps teams and Agile organizations. Our DevOps Chat guest, Tricentis Chief Product Officer Wolfgang Platz,  contributes his experiences to the state of the art with his newly released book Enterprise Continuous Testing. 

Automating software testing just for the sake of automation, is "doing the mess for less." What is the business value of each software element you are testing, and what is the right strategy for testing these software implemented functions? Automation certainly brings with it speed, but are we ultimately making incremental improvements to testing which doesn't tap into the full power and benefits of automated software testing. 

Our discussion with Wolfgang focuses on the need for expanding dev-testing with higher-level integration, system, and end-to-end user experience testing, which are often performed well by shared testing and operations teams. Now, think Shift Right. While Agile and dev teams often focus on the progression of creating new and exciting capabilities for the business and our customers, we still require that regression mindset that consistently validates unit tests, valuable business functionality, system integrity, performance, and operational needs.

Enterprise Continuous Testing With A Shift Right Mindset, Tricentis

For our fourth episode of PQA Panel Talks, we asked test automation experts Jim Peers, former PQA team member and current Senior Quality Assurance Engineer at OXD, and PQA's QA Manager, John McLaughlin to join our host Mike Hrycyk. Together they reflect on their experiences working in test automation, revisit some of their automation war stories, and provide insight on the pitfalls projects can hit and how to avoid them.

PQA Panel Talks: Automation War Stories

Development and QA teams face a lot of pressure to release faster and more frequently. With the economic downturn that has followed the corona crisis, the pressure to do more with less has only increased.
What's more, maintenance burdens, developer dependencies, and time restraints create even more bottlenecks and slow down the release cycle.
So how can we do regression testing faster while ensuring quality? Praveen Kumar, LEAPWORK’s Customer Success Director, answers this question in this episode.

#4 How to do Regression Testing Faster

In this episode we talk to Beth Skurrie  co-founder of pactflow.io and all round awesome person. We talk about quality (of course!) and what quality is from a coding perspective. The difficulty in using tools to assist in quality. Levels of abstraction and the test automation pyramid and how its useful in trade offs. Plus some stuff on when to write tests. 

Some Bethesque quotes

"These days, responsiveness is kind of a quality in itself"
"The tools are very good at identifying things, but you use the tool, the tool should not use you."
"I’m much better at failure these days"
