Centare is hosting QA Camp!

QA Camp is a half day conference where you can collaborate and engage with other Quality Engineers, Software Testers, QA Managers and others that share the passion of providing Quality Software.

The event will include sessions that are pressing topics in the industry. Here are two of the topics and sessions that will be a part of the event:

Performance Testing - Leveraging Cloud Services to Test at Scale

We’ve all been asked the question… how many simultaneous users/client can your app/site handle? For Microsoft Pulse, a real-time sentiment collection platform, that number was >300,000. Using a home-grown, cloud-based test harness, Phantom JS headless browsers (affectionately known as the “Zombie Horde”) were able to simulate actual anticipated traffic on demand, at a fraction of the cost of a third party testing service. Learn how we built this test system, and the how and what around testing at scale in a cloud environment.

QA in Agile - Testers Are People Too

As many teams struggle integrating QA within their team, how does a QA person move from being “Just a Tester” to becoming an integrated member of a development team?

By discussing three common dysfunctions which QA’s find themselves immersed in on scrum teams, I hope to walk you through how to attack these dysfunctions and give you the tools to fix them. Fixing them will help to improve team dynamics, shorten feedback loops as well as improve the work-life of every QA person.

In addition to topic speakers there will also be breakout sessions. These breakout sessions are roundtable discussions that allow attendees to collaborate and discuss together these topics. Past breakout topics have included:

• Mobile Testing
• Performance Testing
• Test Automation

QA Camp will give attendees a chance to network, collaborate and learn from their peers in a laid back and fun environment.

Please bring your questions and your ideas!
