Shifting Accessibility Testing To The Left

For most companies, accessibility testing is still seen as an afterthought and there is often a misconception that testing for accessibility is difficult and time-consuming. We know that there's a lot of benefits in making your website or application accessible, especially in the Digital Era, but why do we still have a lot of inaccessible websites? In this talk, Marie Drake will discuss some of the myths around accessibility testing, how you can shift accessibility testing to the left and how you can easily integrate it into your development and testing workflows

Open Quality Conference: Cypress

One of the trends that I've been seeing lately is the rise of developer friendly testing tools. Nowadays, as we move to a DevOps way of working, the roles between developers and testers are becoming blurry in some areas and testing tools such as Cypress helps teams in distributing the responsibility of who writes the automated tests. In this session, I'll talk about what Cypress can offer, the types of testing activities it can cover and how it's bridging the gap between developers and testers.

Testing Times, Testing Topics: Flipping the script on manual testing...

The testing community is up in arms about "manual" testing; “What is it? Why do we use the term? Does the term do justice to the practice? Why don’t we automate everything? Why don’t we say manual cooking?!?”

Is the misunderstanding of the practice all that bad? Is it a dying art that needs to be replaced by automation? Or is it just one of the many different test techniques and tools that make up a testers armoury?

In the first of the "Testing Times, Testing Topics" interactive roundtable series, our crack squad of testing experts will discuss this tricky topic and put forward their ideas.

Open Quality Conference: Web Accessibility Workshop

Have you ever thought about how people with disabilities use the web? How about the website that you are testing? Are you testing for accessibility? As we are now in the digital era where lots of information can be accessed via the web, we need to make sure that the websites we use are inclusive especially for people with disabilities. In this workshop, we'll discuss what is accessibility and why do we need to test for accessibility. We'll also look at some of the accessibility testing types you can perform and also look at what testing tools are out there to support our testing. This workshop will be jam packed with activities that will help you get started with accessibility testing and will include some live coding too as we try to get hands on with using Cypress and Cypress-Axe to catch basic accessibility issues.
