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

TTTribe Cast Series: Leveraging Cypress Beyond Functional Tests

Cypress is currently one of the most popular test automation frameworks out there in the JavaScript community. With so many plugins that it can integrate to, one can actually leverage Cypress beyond just testing an application’s functionality whether it’s to perform API testing, accessibility, performance or visual testing. In the interest of time, the session will focus on how one can leverage Cypress to do visual testing. I will be giving an overview as to what the benefits are in doing automated visual testing, the different visual testing plugins that one can use and importantly key things to consider when doing visual testing. There will also be a code walkthrough to show how easy it is to install some of these plugins.

Have you heard of Contract Testing? Are you currently working on a project involving multiple data providers? Do you want to make sure that consumers and data providers can catch broken changes earlier on in your pipeline? If the answer to these questions is yes, then this workshop is for you!

Introduction to k6

One of the testing trends that I can see continuing on in 2022 is shifting performance testing to the left so we can catch any performance issues on our applications earlier on. Traditionally, performance testing has been known to be completed after a feature has been deployed and run by dedicated performance engineers which created a siloed approach. To encourage developers to also write performance tests, developer friendly tools such as k6 have been created. In this session, I want to introduce you to k6, how it can help with testing the performance of your applications, what are its features and a code demonstration on how to use k6.
