The research methods used is the case study were as follows: surveys, quantifiable project data sources and qualitative project members opinions were used for data collection. Challenges related to the testing process regarding a complex project environment and unscheduled releases were identified. Based on the obtained results, we concluded that the described approach addresses well the aforementioned issues. Therefore, recommendations were made with regard to the employed principles of agility, specifically: continuous integration, responding to change, test automation and test driven development. Furthermore, an efficient testing environment that combines a number of test frameworks (e.g. JUnit, Selenium, Jersey Test) with custom-developed simulators is presented.

What he meant was that we or some of us – computer scientists – at some point like to try things that are not that “legal”. The most of us are “clean”, but some of us are “free time hackers”! Nowadays the hackers are almost away from the 17 years old guy, trying to pen- etrate in some website and so on. They are now adults, with families, cars, pets, holidays and a job. They are professionals earning money for acting as such. Application Security is not only important and essential for the companies and their businesses, technology and employees. Application Security is a macroeco- nomic aspect for the countries. There are a lot of secret services or governments agencies working on getting technology or information by advance hacking the server and databases of top companies or governments worldwide. When we hear that some countries could be behind the penetration of the USA electricity net- work, you can imagine what is going on outside. Are we testers prepared for that job? I’m not!

    Agile Testing: Your Key to Better Software What’s in the Way of Testing at the Speed Of practitioners say testing is of Agile? 63% the biggest 1 Testing at the speed of agile drives quality at speed. But the bottleneck question is, “When do you think the testing process should begin?” If you answered something like “after the code is written”, or “once developers hand it off to QA”, you are not thinking Continuous Testing. To truly achieve continuous testing, you need shift left-all the way left. The challenge is to enable requirements design, test automation and development that fits into the same sprint, while allowing stakeholders—from business analysts to testers Of testing is still manual to developers—to stay in alignment and remain flexible. This is 70% a tall order that requires replacing the typically slow, manual and error-prone testing process with a powerful, model-based approach to agile testing. An Agile Testing approach addresses the key challenges that business analysts, testers and developers face when they Of critical dependencies attempt to create better software, faster. These pain points span across the testing lifecycle and include: 56% unavailable • Ambiguous requirements • Poor test case design and limited coverage • Waiting for test data • Unavailability of system components • No automation Of time spent looking Let’s take a look at each of these problem areas and see how for test data CA Agile Requirements Designer, a solution from CA 50% Technologies for agile testing using a model-based approach, can help. 1 DevOps Review 2017 2 Ambiguous Requirements More often than not, software challenges are introduced at There is a better way— automatically model requirements the very beginning of a project, during the requirements phase.

  • Testing in a Devops Era: Perceptions of Testers in Norwegian Organisations
    Testing in a DevOps Era: Perceptions of Testers in Norwegian Organisations Daniela Soares Cruzes1, Kristin Melsnes2, Sabrina Marczak3 1 SINTEF - Norway 2 Bouvet – Norway 3 PUCRS - Brazil [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. To better understand the challenges encountered by testers in DevOps development, we have performed an empirical investigation of what are the trends and challenges for the testers in the DevOps environ- ment. We have discussed the quality assurance in the difference focus areas of DevOps: Social Aspects, automation, leanness, sharing, measurement. The results were then themed in five different topics of concern to testers: collaboration, roles and responsibilities, types of tests, automation and monitoring and infrastructure. In Testing, there has been a change on the roles and responsibilities of testers, where there is much more focus on the responsibilities for testing across the teams, instead of a sole responsibility of the tester. Testers are also forced to collaborate more with other stake- holders as operations and business. Testing is brought to another level of automation in DevOps but there is still need for manual tests, that have to be much more risk-based than before. And finally, testing transparency is a must in this process and should involve not only development team but also operations and customers. This paper contributes to the body of knowledge on what are the areas we need to focus for improvement in test- ing for the DevOps environment. This paper also contributes to practition- ers to improve their testing focusing on specific areas that needs attention.

Mahammad Shafi Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, India Abstract- More and more companies are adopting Agile methods as a flexible way to introduce new software products. An important part of any software project is testing. Agile testing may have similar aims as traditional software testing, but the structure of the team is different, testers need to support quality infusion through entire team. Test automation and selection of test tool can help project teams deliver more effectively, and in shorter timescales. The challenges in testing of cloud are visible also in the tools for automatic test case execution. This paper addresses some of these challenges and also highlights every aspect of software testing process in Agile development. Keywords: agile methods, unit testing, cloud testing.
