Top Continuous Testing Pitfalls
Digital Transformation is now the holy grail of IT organizations. However, most companies are still struggling with setting up a proper Continuous Delivery process, which shall help the transition into shorter release cycles and faster, more frequent deployments to production.
Teams may already be familiar with Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery and Continuous Deployment (the 3Cs) and the differences between them. However, to make these 3Cs possible, we need a fourth C, namely Continuous Testing (a.k.a Test Automation.) Continuous Testing is the fast feedback mechanism that assists the 3Cs and is one of the most difficult challenges for digital transition.
In this talk, I'm aiming to cover the top continuous testing pitfalls and how companies are solving these problems. This talk is based on practical examples that include key pitfalls around:
- Test Data management
- Choosing the right tool/framework
- Deciding on what to automate?
- Is In-Sprint Automation possible?
- Is automation part of Definition of Done?
- Effective collaboration
- Test Environments
- Flaky tests
It's time the testers took control! And use some of the modern tools that help address those problems. This talk will cover tech stack like Selenium, Appium, PlayWright, Taiko, Docker, Kubernetes, Grafana/Kibana, TestContainers.

Saiful Nasir - 10 lessons about agile from a non-agile person
45 Mins
Talk
Intermediate
As a leader, I'm always looking for new ways to improve the way I lead, the way our projects are run, and the way I can optimise our business. When agile was introduced into a more mainstream business audience, I was one of them - I saw the potential for the values and principles to work for all types of businesses, not just software development.
Since then many years have passed and after being exposed to and in the bowels of all forms of agile mindsets converted into approaches (e.g. Scrum, SAFE, etc.), I've learnt a few things - some good and some bad. I've distilled it to 10 lessons I've learnt about agile, all coming from a non-agile practitioner.
