S2.E16: Test Case Design and Combinatorial Testing by QA Therapy

How do we go about testing systems, without missing any critical scenarios or creating rudandant ones? To assist us on this topic, we have a special guest with us, Ivan Filippov. Ivan has worked for several years with teams helping build efficient test models that can be used to expose important defects. Did you know that Xray Enterprise comes with Test Case Designer which is a comprehensive modeling tool where it's possible to define parameters and values, and enforce system-under-test rules. The Test Case Designer also helps you create a manageable set of test scenarios and make sure that most combinations of values are covered early on in the test suite, so that most risk is addressed upfront. Learn more about Test Case Designer here: https://hubs.li/Q01FRLzZ0

S2.E12: From Agile to Holistic Testing by QA Therapy

Testing has evolved. We now test broader, with different quality attributes, and look at testing more holistically. But what does that mean exactly? To assist us on this topic, we have a special guest, Janet Gregory, a frequent conference speaker who has also published several books about agile testing. With Xray, you can adopt a more agile and holistic testing approach. Everyone can collaborate during test planning, execution, debriefing, and reporting, using the tool they use in their daily activities - Jira. Check out https://hubs.li/Q01qz-390 to learn how to develop better software - together.
