In a rapidly evolving tech landscape, automation strategies and tools must be adaptable to stay relevant. This question seeks to explore how QA professionals future-proof their automation efforts against emerging technologies and shifts in testing methodologies. It addresses the importance of building flexible frameworks, choosing scalable tools, and staying informed about industry trends. What proactive steps do you take to ensure that your automation processes and tools can seamlessly adapt to future changes, and how do you integrate forward-thinking practices into your overall testing strategy?

Where does return render( <UserProvider> etc go in a test.js jest file? Here is the UserContext.js mock data file```import React, { useState } from 'react';// Create a mock UserContext with default userId as nullconst UserContext = React.createContext({  userId: null,  setUserId: () => {}, // Mock function for tests});// Mock UserProvider to be used in testsconst UserProvider = ({ value, children }) => {  const [userId, setUserId] = useState(value?.userId || null);  // Always use the provided setUserId if available, otherwise use the internal state  const contextValue = {    userId,    setUserId: value?.setUserId || setUserId,  };  return (    <UserContext.Provider value={contextValue}>      {children}    </UserContext.Provider>  );};export { UserContext, UserProvider };``` So does the below go above or in the describes if above do I pass the renderComponentWithUserContext to the describe condition as a parameter and each test that uses it? Apologies for the tro

Hi I have taken up AS1 Assessment 3-time buts not cleared  it is saying that need to wait for 2  to 3 months can you please help me that I am want to take up the test now to Enable to take up the test to whom i have to contact 

Hi Team,I am unable to access the product forum getting access error. Kindly help me to resolve the same Thanks,Harish N

Hi Community,I have RTB libaries in a deeper structure. The RTBs have business parameters.When I pass down business parameters,to deeper levels the parameters arrive as NULL in some test plans.D you know whats amiss here?For example:I have a parameter “Role” and want to pass it on to a sub-RTB like this:Scenario A:I pass the parameter down as {PL[Role]}Issue: The parameter arrives as a NULL value Scenario B:I pass the parameter down as {PL[Role]}. On level 2 (RTB 2) I copy the parameter to a buffer variable and pass on the value as {B[Role]}This works.Regards    Florian

I was just wondering, how do you prepare for a CFP at a conference? Based on the size of a conference I am usually putting together 2 to 4 proposals, but sometimes I am uncertain on how to phrase an elevator pitch. Any tips, you could share? 🙂

 I would like to implement access restrictions for certain test cycles and defects (bugs) within  qTest Manager. The goal is to limit access to specific test cycles and bugs to designated users, ensuring that each team member only has visibility of relevant information pertaining to their responsibilities. Could you please provide guidance on how to configure user permissions to achieve this level of access control effectively?Thank you

Hello , I’m interested in automating the generation of reports immediately following the completion of a test cycle automated execution. Specifically, I would like to automatically generate a report as soon as a test cycle is concluded and have it sent to designated users via email. Could you please advise  on how to configure this automated reporting functionality within qTest?Thank you 

I work in an organisation where some domains we think are doing OK. They are CD, YBIYRI, product teams delivering to production in some instances multiple times a day.In other domains they have not really even started on that journey. They are projects not products and follow a more siloed, phased, document heavy way of working.We have a mandate to help these other domains on their journey to CD.We do however want to be sure we are safe to scale. We traditionally have only used trailing metrics (e.g. DORA) which tell us how we DID. We have a gut feel that as we scale we may need metrics that are more leading (e.g. measuring engineering signals like code complexity or, dare I say it, code coverage) which tell us how we ARE DOING.We think we are aware of the usual gotchas in measurement and so our measurement principles include things like: don't measure individuals but teams, don't set arbitrary targets, don't use metrics to judge across teams but to help each team have better evidence-

What is the recommended ratio of developers to testers in a software development team?A) 1:1 B) 3:1 C) 5:1 D) 7:1 E) A LOT :1

If you could magically eliminate one common widespread misconception about Software Testing, what would you wield away and why?

How do you stay updated on the latest trends and advancements in software testing?

Hi All,Is there anyone who have used Condition under RTB via business parameter where data is coming form TDS?

I signed up for the Load Testing. Best Practices, but am not seeing any way to join the webinar. I get a link toI then login and click Attend button which then indicates Attending, but I’m not entered into any webinar. And, I see no options to join. How do to join?BTW, I tried calling the Shiftsync US support number and it disconnects after one ring. Not seeing any other options of support so trying here.

What are three main considerations to help determine what you should be automating for a load test, especially integrated load tests? To find out the answer, join my session today. I have three things that you can use to filter out unnecessary business processes and limit the scope of the testing to only what you need.  Register at:  Thanks,Scott

What new skills/tool did you learn in 2023?

Hello Community,Since IT and Testing related concepts can be difficult to understand sometimes I was thinking of creating a serios of explain to me like I am 5 with Legos.In the link you can see one such artile and I was wondering if you could suggest topics to add to the serieshttps://medium.com/p/ca79b3b6f96e 

This should not happen as I use a password manager:Yet it happened the 2nd time. Is there a problem with the login. Are there illegal characters for passwords (mine are all generated random strings)?

How would you as a tester complete this sentence: When life gives you lemons… a) Lemon UX: Rate life's sour experience.b) Bug filed: Life delivered lemons!c) Test life's lemons: Sour or sweet?d) Lemon test: Life's acidity check.e) QA life: Lemons under analysis.f)Other….

What do you call the amount of memory that a generative AI can hold at any time?

The talk of the town, ChatGPT, can provide some benefits for testing activities, but its effectiveness in speeding up the testing process or generating test cases will depend on the specific use case and the quality of the input data provided to it. While people do not want to miss the train, but they have to very clear where and how they should use AI. In my opinion, ChatGPT can help in testing in following ways: Test data generation: ChatGPT can be used to generate synthetic test data based on specific scenarios or requirements. For instance, it can generate test data that simulates specific user interactions or system responses to validate the functionality of a software application. Test case generation: ChatGPT can be used to generate test cases based on specific requirements or test scenarios. However, the effectiveness of this approach will depend on the quality of the input data provided to the model and the level of detail required for the test cases. Test script automatio
