Today, Reactive Programming is becoming more popular in IT applications. It offers a new way to handle asynchronous processes. No matter if they are computation processes, long time running processes, cloud processes, web application you can benefit from this programming approach. You can benefit from this approach even when writing tests, and this is the focus for this presentation.
You will try think about testing in a new way. You will see Python code - RxPy, JavaScript code RxJS in an action.

Computer bugs make everyday life harder not just to programmers, but mostly to users. This brings up the desire for bug-free software. Symbiotic is an open-source tool that automatically finds bugs in C programs. It performs a set of program transformations that make it easier to find bugs, and then it analyzes the program by symbolic execution. It can search for the common errors like assertion violation, null or dangling pointer dereference, integer overflow, and similar. In this presentation, we tell you what is Symbiotic, how it works, and how you can use it.

Some overlook Software testing as a career Option. Some don't know where to start, and many don't know where they can learn from and contribute. The easiest gateway to learn software testing is through contributing to Opensource software quality. You get to learn many new technologies, can learn to understand what s/w quality is about and contribute to it in many ways. In this talk we would be talking about how to learn , contribute , network and make a career out of software testing through opensource projects

Being in cross functional team can pose a challenge for Quality Engineers. It is not enough to learn Devel processes and make occasional bugfixes for them to be effective in their role. Practices that worked just fine in case of separate Devel and QE teams gets in the way now and needs to be rethought.

In this talk, I will share experience and observations I got during my transformation from pure QE working separately to devel counterparts, to combined QE/Product Owner role in fully cross functional team.

Over ten years of deployments, the Ceph distributed storage system has proven itself resilient to failures of all kinds. Much of this success can be traced to its “teuthology” automated testing system, which runs thousands of machine-hours of tests every day. This talk will describe the technical function of teuthology and our other CI systems; explore how Ceph succeeded in automated testing that is reliable and useful at both a system and community level; and discuss the ways and whys of where that testing falls short. We’ll explore pain points and pitfalls to avoid in trying to build these systems out, and ideas to help overcome them.

Join the workshop to understand the vision of the Always Ready Operating System and get hands-on experience with enabling new test coverage. Learn about processes and tools used to support testing, get an overview of documentation to easily find important information and be inspired to a quick start by real-life success stories.
