SOFTWARE TESTING SHOWCASE

Testing in a Complex Digital World

bout a decade ago, application testing was fairly straightforward, albeit a manual effort and somewhat of a drag on delivery. Tests cases were written, functional and UI tests were done, regression, pen and load testing would happen, and the application was deemed ‘good to go.’ Today's digital world of APIs, open-source components, mobile devices, IoT endpoints, DevOps pipelines and containers — not to mention the squeezed timelines for application delivery — render manual testing almost completely ineffective.

Yes, the testing world has evolved. We're seeing automated testing, continuous testing and security testing emerge, as well as non-traditional testing such as feature experimentation and chaos engineering advancing to keep pace with organizational demands in the digital age. This showcase is a guide to some of the companies that provide testing tools, and each comes at the issue from a different perspective. We hope you find it useful, and encourage you to reach out to these solution providers to learn more.

The Future of Testing is AI: Visual AI

pplications and the environments they live in continue to become more complex. While shift-left testing helps improve app quality, alone it’s not enough to ensure quality as new frameworks and tools emerge. With Applitools’ AI-powered visual testing and monitoring platform, leading companies are improving app quality, accelerating delivery cycles and reducing the time it takes to test. “Application changes occur several times a day now. These changes need to work on many browsers, devices, operating systems and different environments, so you need to do far more work in far less time,” said Gil Sever, CEO and cofounder of Applitools. “You can’t manually write and maintain all the scripts needed, so you need Visual AI to take over these rote aspects of the work.” A recent survey of 400 of Fortune 1,000 companies reveals that those organizations use an average of 30 different applications that include 94 pages which need to display correctly on six to 10 different screen sizes in six to eight different human languages. “The number of nuances ranges from 100,000 to 700,000, and the number of applications is growing 30% to 50% per year,” said Sever. “Salesforce runs 100,000 tests per day so a 10 percent false positive rate would be 10,000 instances that humans would have to analyze. Using AI, we reduce the false positive rate to 1 in a million, so it’s 99.9999% accurate.” Applitools also accelerates testing by 30 to 70 times using containers. The faster testing cycles and higher levels of testing accuracy enables UI testing to keep pace with CI/CD. Importantly, Applitools integrates with existing tools in a team’s DevOps tool chain, ensuring app quality throughout the SDLC. Examples include CI and CD servers, test automation platforms, deployment tools, monitoring tools and repositories. That way, when code is pushed to the repository, it can be tested and automatically deployed if it passes.

and visually compare them to the results with the baseline.” Applitools automatically surfaces UI issues and their root cause so they can be resolved faster. Specifically, it provides side-by-side screenshots showing the expected result and the actual result so testers don’t have to recreate the errors themselves. The baseline comparisons can be a previous version compared to the new version, such as what a page looks like on one browser or device versus another. It also reveals how a page appears given different screen resolutions.

“Application changes occur several times a day now... You can’t manually write and maintain all the scripts needed...” —Gil Sever

“We use automatic maintenance which saves a lot of time. It also keeps the [test] coverage high,” said Sever. “When you’re manually maintaining and fixing thousands of scripts, test coverage drops.” Applitools boasts nearly 100 of the Fortune Global 500 as customers including Amazon, Salesforce, Capital One, McKesson, and Sony. Four of the top seven pharmaceutical giants use Applitools to ensure that drug warnings render properly irrespective of devices and also use Applitools UI version control results as evidence of regulatory compliance. Other Applitools customers include nine of the 10 largest software companies and half of the largest U.S. banks. As more software development and testing frameworks emerge, Applitools supports them via APIs so customers can connect to them quickly and easily. Applitools also supports content management systems (CMSs) such as Adobe Experience Manager so data can flow seamlessly from the CMS to an app. Applitools users simply write the navigation script and the validation or assertion in the Applitools’ chat window.

Applitools proprietary Visual AI comprises a set of algorithms that analyze computer screens, including desktop and web applications, mobile apps, games and more. “Traditionally, you’d use Selenium or Appium test automation scripts to mimic a human interaction with the UI. Then, the results would be compared to the expected results to make sure everything is appearing in the right place,” said Sever. “This is what we automate with Visual AI so instead of writing hundreds of lines of code to assert and validate that everything works, you can use Applitools to test all the screen interactions

Applitools is on a mission to deliver a Next Generation Test Automation Platform through Visual AI and Ultrafast Grid. The company enables engineering teams to release high quality web and mobile apps at incredible speed at a reduced cost. Applitools also created Test Automation University, the largest educational entity of its kind, with more than 60 online courses available for free. Today more than 60,000 engineers are enrolled taking courses covering major test frameworks and languages. Learn more at Applitools.com. 3

Parasoft Leads Testing Innovation

he COVID-19 pandemic has caused organizations to accelerate their digital transformation strategies. Two of the major trends are supporting a remote workforce and engaging customers primarily, if not exclusively, through digital channels. Critical to employee productivity and customer experience is adequate software testing that requires a high level of automation. “Organizations are figuring out how to enable the digital side of their business to both protect existing markets and take advantage of new ones,” said Mark Lambert, VP of strategic initiatives at Parasoft. “A lot of them are leveraging lowcode platforms like Salesforce Lightning to accelerate digital transformation and their movement into the cloud.” Faced with rapidly evolving circumstances, businesses need to ensure that the software they develop, customize and deliver provides the needed functionality and meets all compliance requirements.

Low-Code Use Is Increasing Many developers originally dismissed low code as simple tools built for those who are unable to code. However, as software development and delivery cycles continued to shrink with the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, more organizations are now using low code to become more Agile than they were before. “As organizations mature in their adoption of low code, they’re creating teams that include both citizen developers and professional developers to support the increasing scope of functionality, which tends to increase pretty quickly.” said Lambert. “It’s the job of the technical team to create building blocks that enable the less technical business developers across the organization.”

The Pandemic Is Driving Greater Test Automation Since entire white-collar workforces are now working remotely, more teams are containerizing their DevOps pipelines and pushing them into the cloud. “Test automation is the only way you can efficiently verify functionality and ensure compliance. It’s the key to unlocking Agile and DevOps,” said Lambert. “You need a robust delivery pipeline and process. Quality needs to be built into that pipeline to accelerate delivery with confidence.” Since one small code change can have a negative cascading effect across an application, other applications and use cases, organizations are figuring out how they can create a scalable test automation strategy that integrates with their ecosystem. Parasoft covers everything from code analysis and auto-

mated unit testing to automated API and UI testing. By leveraging AI and machine learning across these quality practices, Parasoft’s suite of test automation products assist developers and testers with the underlying activities.

Service Virtualization Speeds Development and Testing “When you’re connecting across different services and providers, the level of interconnectedness explodes the complexity of your test environment. You need a way to control that environment,” said Lambert. “Test automation is the only way you can efficiently verify functionality and ensure compliance.” —Mark Lambert

Service virtualization decreases the time and cost required to test due to constrained dependencies. With today’s remote work mandates, more organizations want to emulate backend system dependencies and control their functional behavior. With Parasoft service virtualization, developers and testers can create synthetic data and virtual services that behave like their real counterparts. “Like many others, one of our Canadian partners now has fully remote software development teams. Their challenge is giving teams access to systems without leveraging on-network devices,” said Lambert. “They’re rolling out service virtualization now to address this and unblock the teams.”

Why Customers Love Parasoft Parasoft continues to be recognized by industry analysts and customers as the platform of choice for testing throughout the development pipeline—from code analysis that ensures security compliance and reliability to automated unit, API, UI and load and performance testing. Parasoft integrates with open source testing frameworks like Selenium, TestNG and JUnit, providing complementary functionality that assists with the difficult tasks of creation and maintenance. “We’re recognized as a leader and visionary by Forrester and Gartner, respectively. We pride ourselves on delivering innovations that go beyond continuous testing to help clients achieve continuous quality. We’re also honored to have received the Gartner Peer Insights Customer Choice award in both 2019 and 2020, validating that we’re building products that make teams more effective,” said Lambert.

Supercharge Testing with Mobile Labs

ffective mobile app testing is even more important today than it was before COVID-19 hit. These days, mobile app experiences impact which brands and services customers choose and how productive work-from-home employees can be. To ensure the highest performance and scalability of apps ranging from enterprise productivity to games, teams serious about product quality choose Mobile Labs. “COVID-19 has accelerated the digitalization of businesses in every industry because it’s the only way for them to engage with their customers. Instead of going into physical businesses, consumers are using mobile apps to check their bank balance, apply for loan or to order fast food for curbside pickup,” said Dan McFall, president and CEO of Mobile Labs. “Before the pandemic, a lot of mobile testers were relying on the few physical devices they kept in a drawer at work. Now, they’re realizing they need access to a device cloud that provides the same interactive capabilities desktop and web developers get using virtual machines.”

Improve Mobile Test Coverage and Automation While testing an app on a wider range of devices, operating system versions and browser versions helps ensure better app experiences across more customers, most developers, testers and QA engineers say they still need to improve test coverage and the velocity of testing. While many have adopted the Appium open source automation tool, Appium can be difficult to scale and manage because, as an open source project, it’s not clear when updates will occur and the documentation leaves much to be desired. To help customers get more from their automation efforts, Mobile Labs created its own Appium server that benefits customers irrespective of whether they’re using Appium yet or not. Current Appium users benefit from improved Appium performance and reliability. They also discover it’s easier to manage and support their automation infrastructure. Those without Appium find they can start scripting immediately without downloading, installing or configuring Appium. A surprising benefit of Mobile Labs’ Appium server is the 4X or greater scalability it provides. “One of the challenges with Appium is if you try to run more than 8, 10, 12 concurrent tests, you’re going to need a lot of hardware,” said McFall. “We can increase that to 40, 48 concurrent tests running against a single server, making it easier to scale. Since it’s hard for people to go into the office and set up new hardware now, the more they can get out of what they have, the better.” What’s more, Appium users don’t have to wait for commu-

nity fixes because Mobile Labs handles them proactively. Customers facing script automation issues, which commonly arise as the result of internal skills shortages, can find intelligent scripting solutions in Mobile Labs’ partner network. Like robust software development IDEs that pinpoint coding errors, intelligent scripting solutions rapidly identify test automation script errors. “Since it’s hard for people to go into the office and set up new hardware now, the more they can get out of what they have, the better.” —Dan McFall

Test Your Way Many enterprises have Mobile Labs running on-premises behind a firewall. However, with COVID-19 remote work trends, Mobile Labs’ hosting has mushroomed. “We’ve been getting rave reviews on our hosting, so more people are starting to realize we’re not just the on-premises people,” said McFall. “In fact, we’ve seen a lot of growth in the gaming sector because of the device performance we provide.” Customers who choose Mobile Labs hosting can always move their environment on-premises at any time without fear of vendor lock-in. Teams that want to tame the chaos of testing multiple apps across multiple platforms, operating systems, and device types behind a firewall tend to choose Mobile Labs’ GigaFox Red mobile device testing cloud. Teams that need access to more devices or enhanced graphics features behind a firewall or hosted choose GigaFox Silver. Small teams or teams that are just getting started with mobile app testing can jumpstart their journey with GigaFox StarterKit. All GigaFox versions help accelerate development and continuous testing because they provide developers, testers and QA with access to the same devices. Moreover, those devices are the actual devices customers use. Another benefit of Mobile Labs is future-proof testing. Instead of purchasing new equipment because Apple just released its latest versions of iPhone, for example, customers can simply subscribe to the Mobile Labs Device Refresh Program, which allows them to swap old devices for new ones. When paired with GigaFox Red or GigaFox Silver mobile device clouds, teams can be sure they always have the devices they need to ensure the best quality user experiences.

Automate Mobile Testing with Kobiton

rganizations are automating more types of tests to keep pace with DevOps and CI/CD, but they all face a common challenge which is automating mobile testing. “Getting to automation is a big challenge with mobile,” said Frank Moyer, CTO at Kobiton. “It’s painful, because unlike the web world where there’s a W3C specification for HTML, in the mobile world, all of the manufacturers can render the XML however they choose. Each generates the DOM in a unique way which makes it impossible for automation engineers who need to navigate through an application to use a single selector that fits all devices.” To navigate through an app effectively, one needs to write a test automation script that can execute across the multitude of devices customers actually use. Then, hours must be spent combing through the tests to detect problems identified on the different devices. End-to-end mobile testing platform Kobiton speeds and simplifies the process so businesses can get to market faster with better quality mobile apps. “We use machine learning so manual testers and automation engineers can accomplish more in less time,” said Moyer. “All you do is run a manual session and we can automate that test across hundreds of devices. It will tell you that these two devices crashed, these three devices have performance issues or if the text on the screen wraps off the edge incorrectly on these four devices so you need to address those issues.” With Kobiton, test automation scripts can be created and executed orders of magnitude faster, which speeds value delivery, improves product quality and boosts ROI. For example, one Kobiton customer spent 18 months automating mobile tests. The same scope of work can now be completed in just three weeks. Kobiton Intelligent Test Automation integrates with defect tracking systems so defects can be created in context. Best of all, the entire flow is seamless from manual test creation to test automation to defect identification and remediation. Kobiton remembers all of it so customers can benefit from regressions between one release and the next.

Kobiton Alleviates Pain Points A recent Kobiton survey of 350+ mobile developers and software testers reveals that although 55% said automation would improve software quality, 76% are automating fewer than half of all software tests. About half (51%) are releasing software updates daily or weekly, but 73% are running at least 100 manual tests before each software release. Although test automation is a mature concept, 58% said

their automation programs are either new or at least six months away from beginning. The biggest barriers to achieving automation are evaluating and choosing test automation tools (20%) and training and acquiring skilled automation engineers (17%). Seven in 10 said they recognize mobile is strategic or critical to their business. With Kobiton Intelligent Test Automation, those same professionals could create functional test scripts that provide the quickest path to mobile automation at scale. Because Kobiton fully supports a variety of assertions, test scripts can be as simple as checking an app’s layout or as complicated as performing complex functional logic tests. “In the mobile world, all of the manufacturers can render the XML however they choose.” —Frank Moyer

Importantly, organizations can deliver better mobile experiences by testing on real devices, in the cloud or on premises, while leveraging the latest in Appium test automation for seamless test script creation. As the first and only mobile scriptless test automation platform, Kobiton accelerates testing and delivery. And, instead of choosing between on-premises devices or devices in a test lab, Kobiton allows customers to take advantage of both to achieve truly hybrid mobile testing.

Mobile Test Automation Just Got Simpler Kobiton recently announced it is taking mobile test automation to an entirely new level. As of the latest release, Kobiton Intelligent Test Automation generates 100% open standard Appium code which can be customized, run on a competing device testing platform or integrated into a DevOps process. Manual testers and automation engineers are able to run a manual session on a specific device, such as an iPhone X, and within 20 minutes export the fully-functioning Appium script which is capable of running on more than 350 different devices. Companies using other device clouds, such as SauceLabs, BrowserStack, and Perfecto, can simply point Kobiton at those environments. The result is higher levels of test automation with minimal time and effort. “Organizations want to accelerate their digital app initiatives. To do that, they need a complete mobile experience platform that’s flexible and easy to use,” said Moyer. Learn more at www.kobiton.com. 3

Fix Penetration Testing Finds Faster

f you want to know whether your code is truly secure, it needs to be penetration (pen) tested. White hat pentesters can identify application vulnerabilities before bad actors exploit them, leaving you to remediate bugs proactively. Traditionally, developers and pentesters have both suffered from a lack of direct communication because, among things, pentesting is too slow for the fast-moving world of DevOps. Cybersecurity startup Cobalt bridges the gap with a “pentesting as a service” (PtaaS) platform and talent community that connects developers directly with pentesters. And, the platform integrates seamlessly with Jira, Github and Slack so developers can get the information from familiar tools. “Penetration testing is used as a gate by Waterfall teams. With DevOps, gating doesn’t work because it would disrupt the delivery cycle when delivery cycles are accelerating,” said Caroline Wong, chief strategy officer at Cobalt. “You need to integrate pentesting into the DevOps workflow.” Although today’s organizations are automating as much security testing as possible, there are entire classes of security vulnerabilities that go undetected when using automated methods alone, such as business logic bypasses, race conditions and change exploits. With Cobalt, pentesting becomes part of the DevOps pipeline. Better still, highly skilled pentesters are available on demand.

Cobalt Helps Secure Code Traditionally, when a pentest is completed, the testers provide a PDF report. The security team forwards the PDF to the engineering teams, usually without providing guidance or prioritizing the findings. “If developers are just getting a piece of paper with a bunch of problems and told to go fix them, you can’t blame them for ignoring the email altogether,” said Wong. “Security teams haven’t attempted to learn about the engineering workflows, let alone integrate security requests with those workflows. So, there’s no obvious channel for developers to ask security or pentesters how to resolve issues or even to clarify what the issues are.” Also, in a traditional workflow, pentests tend to be a oneoff engagement with little-to-no collaboration between developers and testers. In today’s increasingly digital world, DevOps and DevSecOps teams can’t afford to sacrifice security for application delivery speed. “DevOps and DevSecOps both rely on collaboration and communication. Developers should be able to collaborate with security and pentesters as easily as they communicate

with IT ops,” said Wong. “When that happens, pentesters can better understand the context, such as the application’s use cases. Conversely, developers can ask questions about the found vulnerabilities.” With Cobalt, developers can engage pentesters directly, on demand. That way, developers can ensure the timely retesting of their code and they deliver the code into production with a higher level of confidence because they know that the vulner-

“What might look like a high-severity risk to a pentester may be a lower priority to the business.” —Caroline Wong

abilities have been remediated. Similarly, developers can use Cobalt to get guidance from the security team about how the vulnerabilities should be prioritized.

A Dynamic PtaaS Approach Jira, Github and Slack are staples for Agile and DevOps teams. Cobalt integrates with all three so developers can get the information they need without launching yet another environment or application. Cobalt now also includes data analytics, which provide additional insights about what’s causing vulnerabilities and whether they were successfully remediated. “If you’re still relying on PDFs, there’s no way to bring the metadata together to gain insights and learnings,” said Wong. “With Cobalt, you can compare your approach and results with what others have done or see how one pentest compares to the other tests in your pentest program.” The Cobalt platform includes a SaaS-enabled global marketplace that connects pentest talent with DevOps and DevSecOps teams on demand. That way, more vulnerabilities can be identified, prioritized and remediated faster. “Pentesters and developers don’t always have the full picture, so what might look like a high-severity risk to a pentester may be a lower priority to the business because they lack context,” said Wong. “By communicating with security and engineering teams, pentesters are able to assign a more appropriate risk rating and level of criticality.” DevOps and DevSecOps teams can leverage Cobalt and its marketplace using a single account simply by sharing credits. Yet each team can get access to pentesters as needed without waiting for an intermediary. Learn more at Cobalt.io. 3
