Revolutionizing API Quality Assurance with Contract Testing and Error Code Analysis

Wednesday, April 30, 2025 - 11:30am to 12:30pm

In today’s microservices-driven landscape, ensuring seamless communication between services is critical. Traditional testing methods often fall short when it comes to detecting integration issues early in the development cycle, leading to unexpected failures in production. Contract testing is emerging as a powerful solution to this challenge, providing a way to verify that services meet agreed-upon expectations without relying on full end-to-end testing. This session will delve into the fundamentals of contract testing and how it enhances API quality assurance by detecting inconsistencies...

Critical Data For Testing

Thursday, May 1, 2025 - 11:15am to 12:15pm

Approximately 80% of the defects that a system has are due to the lack of testing with other types of data. That is why most people see that the system works "as expected" only by testing the happy path, since they only use 1 or 2 different data to test, then have many defects in production. In this talk, you will see some tips on how to do basic data analysis and identify the critical input and output data of a system, select parameters according to time for testing, and select by priority the best scenarios. Finally, this session will outline how to establish an effective testing...

Why Testing Needs to Be Part of Your Brand Loyalty Strategy

Thursday, May 1, 2025 - 3:00pm to 4:00pm

Every experience counts – In a recent Sauce Labs study, 57% of consumers said they’d consider switching to a competitor after just 3-4 negative interactions with a company’s website, software, or mobile app. With all the options available, consumers are growing less forgiving, putting a bigger emphasis on the need for a clear brand loyalty strategy that takes the execution of the digital experience into bigger consideration. Design and engineering are key to the equation and the culmination of that is implementing a testing strategy – one that makes the rollout and updating of new features...
