Happy Sunday TestBusters,
Today, I want to welcome over 150 people who signed up for this newsletter since the last Agile Engineering Night. What a number! A special thanks to our speakers who delivered great talks that make a difference.
This is tremendous growth and I'm happy you joined me and 1300+ other TestBusters and 2800+ Agile Engineering Night Busters who are part of this awesome community.
And the next TestBustersNight is just around the corner. On June 28th. 2022 we are back on stage. The stage will be at Dynatrace Vienna, whereby we will run it in a hybrid mode so our international TestBusters can also join. The topic of the TestBustersNight is DevSecOps and you can find the details here .
You are looking for a new job, a new challenge a new experience? Then check out which of our partners are looking for Test Engineers. Many of our Sponsoring-Partners have great job offers around Test, Test Automation, DevOps & Co which could be your next step on the carrier ladder. Psst... TechTalk is an excellent place to work.
Happy reading.

Teach your code how to understand user interfaces
Tesla teaches self-driving cars how to understand traffic. Askui teaches your code how to understand user interfaces.
The young startup from Karlsruhe started as a spin-off from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and grew to more than 15 employees as of right now. By using modern deep learning algorithms, their tool is able to detect UI elements just based on their visual representation out of the box. Combining this with an UI controller which runs on the operating system, it is able to automate any UI on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android, iOS as well as web apps.
Specialized use cases include automation of Citrix, SAP, Maps or Canvas applications - basically everything where code-selectors are hard to maintain.
Their tool is open source and available at www.askui.com or https://github.com/askui/askui

Testing in Production
From Robert Ruzitschka
There are several patterns that we can apply if we want to test new changes in production while keeping (the majority) our customers unaffected. I’ll note just a few here: Blue/Green Deployment, Feature Flagging, and Parallel implementation. Read more...

Why End-to-End (E2E) Testing is Often Good Enough - End-to-End tests are the way to ensure sanity and the integrity of a system as a whole. For certain apps, E2E tests are more critical than UI testing and can give better results. In this post, Zain Sajjad discusses what E2E testing is and how it can make the systems more resilient and reliable. Read more...

MOSTLY AI is a Vienna, Austria-based high-tech startup that has developed game-changing AI technology for synthetic data. Our solutions enable organizations across the world and across industries to safely share big data assets, internally as well as externally, while keeping the privacy of their customers fully protected. This breakthrough in data protection is made possible by leveraging generative deep neural networks that extract patterns, structures, and variations from existing data to generate highly realistic & highly accurate synthetic customers.
Our international team of data enthusiasts takes pride in offering the world's most advanced synthetic data solutions and thus enabling a big data ecosystem where privacy is truly respected. The category “synthetic data” is just getting started and the potential is growing day by day. We believe that in the next couple of years every larger organization will incorporate synthetic data in their data stack. To serve the growing needs of our clients we are looking for a QA and Test Engineer.

CQSE Workshop - Fast Feedback From Long-Running Tests?
Test-Impact Analysis and Pareto Optimization for Ever-Growing Test Suites
As software systems grow, so does the number of their automated tests. As a result, we increasingly often encounter test suites that run hours or days, which is painfully slow.
To get fast feedback about new bugs despite slow tests, we can run a subset of all tests more frequently. If this subset is chosen well, these tests identify most bugs very quickly. (And we can still run the remaining tests as before, to find whatever mistakes are left.)
This approach heavily depends on the selection of frequently-executed tests. We developed two different approaches for selection:
Test-Impact Analysis and Pareto Optimization.
In the workshop on June 29th - online & for free -, we first present the key ideas and research studies for both and then demo them live in our analysis tool Teamscale.
