Web and mobile apps are now organizations’ primary connection with their customers. Staying relevant and winning market share requires that firms can make constant changes to these apps. However, can organizations deploy many more small changes - often many per day - with confidence and with managed risk? We'll take a closer look at how a modern testing toolchain combines both production safety nets - from canaries, to feature flags, to error reporting - with pre-production intent validation tools for both developers and quality assurance/quality engineering. We can see how it is possible to measure and predict and limit the risk of a change by using AI.

Today, over 90% of global internet users access the internet via a mobile device. This trend continues in the financial services industry - in a recent survey by Business Insider, nearly 80% of respondents say mobile is the primary way they access their bank account. To attract and retain customers, it’s therefore necessary for financial services organizations to deliver reliable, secure, and easy to use mobile apps.

Automation Code Quality is critical to successful test automation - and it’s often put at risk before the first piece of code is even written. In this session, Chris Wallander discusses what makes good test automation and how to write test cases with automation ROI in mind. He then shares several code design principles, complete with code examples, to help you get the most value out of your automated testing.

Legacy API Gateways were not designed to connect microservices within and across clouds, across protocols and with sufficient performance and scalability. This demo shows how to run Kong Gateway on a combination of VMs and Kubernetes clusters and administer it all from a central Control Plane.

In this Kongcast Episode, Chinmay Gaikwad, tech evangelist at Epsagon, explains why metrics and logs aren’t sufficient for companies with a microservices architecture. Instead, Chinmay recommends leveraging distributed tracing for optimal observability.

As more users opt to do their banking online, the cost of having an unresponsive, unreliable and feature-deficient financial application or website will have growing negative implications. In this presentation, Justin Dolly draws on experience from 20+ years as a CISO and CSO to discuss the current state of security testing. He then shares how Sauce Labs is working to make security testing more comprehensive and more efficient, to help financial services organizations deliver reliable and secure web and mobile apps, faster.

In this new series from Sauce Labs, Marcus Merrell addresses ten things he wishes CIOs and CTOs understood about testing. In episode four, Marcus discusses how Selenium is not a complete test automation strategy, just a key component. Come along on this ten-episode journey to learn some best practices while Marcus dispels some myths about the testing space.
