Lunch Break

Workshops (2 hours each, in Parallel)

Client-Side Performance Testing of a Responsive website

Prerequisites:

1. Participants are required to bring their own laptop for this workshop.

2. Also, please install phantomJS on your machine (http://phantomjs.org/download.html

(http://phantomjs.org/download.html))

Abstract

In this workshop, we will see the different dimensions of Performance Testing and Performance Engineering,

and focus on Client-side Performance Testing.

Before we get to doing some Client-side Performance Testing activities, we will first understand how to look at

client-side performance, and putting that in the context of the product under test. We will see, using a case

study, the impact of caching on performance, the good & the bad! We will then experiment with some tools like

WebPageTest and Page Speed to understand how to measure client-side performance.

Lastly - just understanding the performance of the product is not sufficient. We will look at how to automate the

testing for this activity - using WebPageTest (private instance setup), and experiment with yslow - as a low-cost,

programmatic alternative to WebPageTest.

Expected Learnings

1. What is Performance Testing and Performance Engineering.

2. Hand's on experience of some open-source tools to monitor, measure and automate Client-side Performance

Testing.

3. Examples / code walk-through of some ways to automate Client-side Performance Testing.

Where do my tests belong?

Max # of participants: 40

Abstract

How many times do we test the same things at multiple layers, multiple levels, adding time to the build process

and testing cycle? As a result, delaying the feedback.

In this workshop, we will demonstrate how as QAs we can identify what tests can be classified as unit tests,

integration test and functional test.

Using a case study, we will see how each component can be tested as part of unit testing; the integration of

different parts and the functioning of the automobile as a whole and how functional tests fit into this big picture.

We will then bring all these tests together to understand and build the testing pyramid.

Expected Learnings

1. Understanding where we write our tests.

2. How to have good test coverage at the right layers.

3. Significance and importance of each layer.

4. How many test's should be there in your test suite.

5. Understanding the testing pyramid.

Assessing the quality of usability

Max # of participants: 12

Abstract

In the absence of a dedicated designer on a project, teams are left with no option but to take a leap of faith where

it comes to the quality of usability of a product or feature. As a result although you may deliver great quality

code and a feature set net value to the end user and thereby your customer is in question.

The focus of this workshop is to equip non design roles with tools designers use for testing quality of designs.

The workshop will be run in two parts:

PART 1 - INTRODUCTION TO THE 10 HEURISTICS OF USABILITY

10mins (Presentation) - Presentation to the 10 Heuristics and how to use them

30mins (Workshop)- Teams try and apply Heuristics

Learning: Getting introduced to the basic principals of usability and there by make an educated estimate of the

designs usability.

-----------------------------------------------------------

PART 2 - INTRODUCTION TO USABILITY TESTING

15 mins (Presentation)- Introduction to usability testing and techniques

45 mins (Workshop)- Teams conduct usability tests

20 mins -Teams present findings

15:45 - 16:00

16:00 - 17:00

Learning: The ability to observe actual user behaviour while interacting with a system, deriving a usability report

based on actual facts unlike assumptions.
