QUALITY IN SYSTEM INTEGRATION TESTING

System Integration Testing (SIT) is more than just testing software to be used on devices. Providing Quality for System Integration Tests is more than writing andd executing tests. Learning how a system works from architecture to design to exposing gaps in the system is a key component for a SIT engineer. It’s more than end-to-end testing. Recognize hardware components, firmware or operationg system conditions affect software behavior.

Takeaways from this talk

  • Learn how to identify your system components requiring attention developing test strategies and approaches.
  • Learn to identify hardware and firmware/O.S. conditions to test how your app’s behavior is affected providing stronger quality information to stakeholders.
  • Identify and communicate risks of the quality of device system applications to your stakeholders

BEYOND RANDOM: UNLOCKING TEST DATA’S HIDDEN POTENTIAL WITH GEN AI

Since the advent of testing, creating realistic test data has been a massive time drain for development and QA teams. We’re constantly forced to pick between random, incomplete data, or wasting hours making it ourselves, or worse, risking production data. We know there’s a better way, and even chase what turns into complete rabbit holes, only to run out of time and settle, maybe with minor tweaks. The hardest part? Juggling time constraints with finding the golden ticket.

Now everyone’s hyped about AI, maybe even getting pressure from above as a “cure all” – but do teams have time to learn it properly while developing and testing? How do we move forward without creating new problems to manage?

GenAI is maturing, offering potentially game-changing, time-saving techniques. But can AI models today deliver the test data breakthrough we need? Can they handle data complexity, maintain integrity, and cover all bases? And what about data privacy? Will our sensitive data escape into the wild and train other AI models out there?

Takeaways from this talk

In this session, we’ll explore the latest GenAI research to go ‘Beyond Random,’ weighing its incredible potential against its downsides:

  • What is AI vs GenAI?
  • How to upgrade your test data using GenAI
  • The Do’s and Don’ts of Taking on GenAI
  • Privacy Implications and Awareness
  • Finding the Right Balance
