INTUITESTBEDS: A Global Test Automation Workshop
Join the leading software testing professionals, tool developers, and researchers to review the latest breakthroughs in the world of user interface and event-based test automation, exchange industry insights, and discover the latest tools for making testing processes more efficient.
What is INTUITESTBEDS?
INTUITESTBEDS is a product of collaboration between two workshops, INTUITEST, the International Workshop on User Interface Test Automation, and TESTBEDS, the International Workshop on TESting Techniques for event BasED Software. Both of these workshops have successfully and repeatedly taken place in the past before deciding to join forces and give the global testing automation experts a platform to share innovation with the world.
INTUITESTBEDS has an ambitious goal of becoming a one-stop-shop for the testing automation engineers of the world to share ideas and enrich each other’s knowledge bases. During the workshop, the participants can learn more about:
- Generating and executing test cases;
- Test modeling and model inference;
- Test coverage, metrics, and evaluation;
- Data analysis and reporting;
- Optimization of the testing process;
- Increasing the reusability of the tests;
- Selecting the right tools for the job.
The history of INTUITESTBEDS
Both INTUITEST and TESTBEDS used to be annual events before the merge: INTUITEST took place 3 times and the TESTBEDS workshop was held 7 times. Since the merge, INTUITESTBEDS has also become an annual event and has taken place every year starting with 2018.
Who is it for?
INTUITESTBEDS was designed for a wide range of software testing experts: primarily, practicing QA engineers, testing researchers, and testing tool developers. If your job has anything to do with automating user interface, event-based testing, usability testing in particular, or software testing in general, you can become an attendee of INTUITESTBEDS.
INTUITESTBEDS is also a great place to share your testing automation insights with an audience that will appreciate your efforts. INTUITESTBEDS is always looking for innovative ideas and groundbreaking discoveries to highlight during the presentation stage of the workshop. If you have a paper you would like to share with the software testing automation community, you can submit it for review. The several most noteworthy papers on user interface and event-based system testing get to share the spotlight.
Why should you consider joining?
By all accounts, INTUITESTBEDS is a must-visit event for anyone whose professional interests revolve around software testing. If you need more reasons to book your attendance for the next INTUITESTBEDS, here are the three biggest personal and business benefits you get from it:
- Learn from the industry experts. INTUITESTBEDS is a place where software testing experts and distinguished researchers come together to share their know-how and look for new solutions to increase the effectiveness of QA. Even participating as an INTUITESTBEDS listener for one day can give you more insights about UX, UI, and usability testing than you could ever hope for. And the information you get can lead to some genuinely positive changes to the way QA processes are set up at your organization.
- Increase exposure for your company. INTUITESTBEDS is looking for outstanding quality and innovation when it comes to selecting the papers and tools for the presentation, but it does not limit eligibility to major research institutions or QA industry leaders. If you believe your company has created a testing tool or research paper that is worth everyone’s while and it is selected for a live presentation, the exposure for your company and yourself can be a valuable asset.
- Get new networking opportunities. Sure, INTUITESTBEDS may be jam-packed with enlightening presentations and new information, but it’s also a place that attracts top talents from the software testing industry. Whether you are looking for mentorship or career opportunities or simply want to build professional connections, this is the perfect time and place to do it.
What’s next for INTUITESTBEDS?
Despite everything going on in the world at the moment, the need for improving the quality of user interface and event-based testing automation and the search for new solutions isn’t going anywhere. This is why INTUITESTBEDS did not give up on its plans to hold the 2020 workshop — it’s just the format of the workshop that has changed.
For obvious reasons, the 2020 workshop is going to be held in a virtual environment. As always, it’s going to be a day when we recognize the technologies, tools, and discoveries that are helping advance the testing automation industry. And there are already plans for the 2021 workshop, so make sure to stay tuned for updates!
