Best Practices for Shifting Left Performance and Accessibility Testing

Web and mobile test cycles typically leverage automation frameworks like Selenium and Appium that are mostly focused on functional testing with end-to-end scenarios. But what about non-functional testing — including performance, accessibility, security, and UX?

Unfortunately, non-functional testing is either left to the end of the cycle or done only partially. Or, it’s outsourced externally, where it is performed manually due to a lack of time and automation abilities.

When non-functional testing is overlooked or left until the end of cycle, performance, accessibility, and UX defects can cause brand damage and are more expensive to fix after the fact. Specifically, accessibility defects can also result in expensive complaints or lawsuits.

Learn how you can avoid damaging defects. Join our upcoming panel webinar led by Perfecto’s VP of Products Tzvika Shahaf and Chief Evangelist and author Eran Kinsbruner, together with Dylan Barrel, CTO at Deque, and Henrik Rexed, Performance Testing Advocate from Neotys, to learn how you can expand your coverage within the build cycle by shifting automated non functional testing left.

During the webinar, you will learn:

• The key benefits of shifting performance and accessibility testing left.
• Best practices and recommendations on how to succeed in shifting such tests into the build process.
• How to get started with mobile and web performance and accessibility testing.

See for yourself how Perfecto can help your team with performance and accessibility testing. Get started with your free trial today.
