Title:Stadium Experience Assurance

Abstract:

Technology is changing the way customers interact with business applications. There is a Shift from traditional Customer Engagement to Customer Experience as the interaction channels have transformed to futuristic Extended Reality - Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) & Mixed Reality (MR) applications. With the emergence of Digital and the recent shift to work from home & live sport watching from home becoming the new normal, the business case for virtual / augmented/ mixed reality across industries such as gaming, sports, retail, education, real estate, health care etc. has become exponential. 

Stadium experience both in and off stadium (sitting in a couch/sofa) provides the next evolution of human story telling at a whole new level for driving home positive and deeper fan experiences like real-time display
of players’ statistics, how many seconds a football was in the air etc. allows stadium fans to improve their experience across different sports by using Augmented Reality content. Testing such reality applications poses a very new set of challenges to overcome across all both functional, automation, non-functional testing. This paper highlights key challenges of testing reality applications like Non-standard interfaces, 3D space, motion testing, and experience differing from one hardware to other and provides unique automation tools/framework.

Title:How to automate desktop applications using Open-source tool Python - PyWinAuto? A practitioner’s session for QA on desktop automation & integrating with Azure DevOps for continuous testing

Abstract:

Although the demand for desktop app testing is not growing as fast as mobile and web application testing, it’s still a crucial day-to-day duty of many testers, especially those who work on sophisticated legacy systems in complex enterprise environments. Ignoring desktop app automation is simply a luxury that they can’t afford. There are multiple software's available in the market that can automate the desktop applications. But if we want an open-source tool that can perform desktop automation and integrate the same with various cloud platforms then Pywinauto+Pytest would be good selection. This workshop/Lab session would highlight how QA can create test scripts that can automate desktop applications. Also, would provide an insight into how to integrate the same with one of the cloud providers using Azure DevOps.
