Talk Description
Testing of Infrastructure, which comprises of the test environment where we perform testing, is often ignored. Instability in test environment results in unexpected delays in testing and incorrect configuration can lead to replication of issues into production.
The talk explores what infrastructure testing means and why it is important. With the ongoing progress with cloud resources like AWS, ensuring the correct test environment and as such, ensuring proper infrastructure is in place with no issues, is of paramount importance.
But what would the testing of infrastructure look like?
How would it become part of our test strategy?
Why do we often overlook it? Do we cover it in our testing in any capacity?
When would we be running the tests?
Can this activity be automated?
All these questions will be addressed and explored in this talk.
By the end of this session, you'll be able to:
- What is infrastructure testing and how this can improve testing goals
- Why infrastructure issues needs to be addressed and their impact on testing overall

Senior QA manager
I have a passion for learning and exploring the world of software quality and the technologies involved. I believe a good software quality strategy can direct how software needs to be developed and delivered, to meet customer objectives. I am currently a Senior Software QA manager at Barclays, with oversight of Integration, functional, performance, security or pen testing, UAT and operational acceptance testing. I enjoy giving talks on various topics in technology. In the past, I have covered talks on Machine Learning, End to end testing, Tools selection, Test frameworks etc and hope to cover more in future.
