Talk Description

As quality professionals in an increasingly fast-paced world, we must learn how to take more efficient approaches to ensure quality is addressed upfront and at scale in designing tests for our automation efforts. These optimized techniques are meant to save you time and effort - covering more in your automation efforts with less work needed. I’m excited to show you how to do exactly that.


Work with Conor to learn and implement smarter software test design techniques to ensure you are maximizing critical testing coverage with as little time and effort as possible.

By the end of this session, you'll be able to:

  • Understand how to implement model-based approaches to designing smarter tests
  • Understand why these approaches are more optimal than standard approaches to designing inefficient tests
  • Realize the power of using Xray Enterprise's Test Case Designer to achieve 100% coverage in as mathematically-few tests as possible
