test.allTheThings() - How to Manage Risk with a Comprehensive Test Strategy
Daily or even hourly deployments are becoming the new normal, as companies strive to deliver the delightful digital experiences their customers have come to expect. To deliver reliable apps fast, while reducing risk, teams need a comprehensive testing strategy that provides visibility across the software development lifecycle.
While functional testing provides a good baseline, it misses bugs in other areas. To mitigate the risk of releasing bugs into production and ensure a high level of quality in your web and mobile apps, you’ll need additional tools in your testing toolkit.
In this session, Sauce Labs Senior Solutions Engineer Sangit Patel will cover how adding visual testing, API testing, and mobile app beta testing to your overall testing strategy will give you the confidence to develop, deliver, and update high quality software at speed.
Key Takeaways:
- Recognize testing as a tool for risk mitigation, that needs to extend across the entire SDLC
- Understand the strengths and limitations of functional testing
- Learn how to leverage visual testing, API testing, and mobile app beta testing alongside your existing functional tests
