How Simulation Unlocks Real-World QA Without Real-World Chaos
About the Topic
Modern QA teams face constant roadblocks—unavailable systems, unstable environments, costly dependencies, and limited test data. Simulation testing offers a smarter way forward.
In this session, we’ll explore how simulating APIs, services, and back-end systems can remove bottlenecks and enable faster, more reliable testing. Using the ABCD framework—Access, Behavior, Cost, and Data—we’ll break down the real-world benefits:
Access to systems that are down, restricted, or unavailable
Behavior simulation for edge cases and failures
Cost reduction by avoiding 3rd-party usage or full environments
Data control for consistent and meaningful test coverage
Whether you're dealing with test environment headaches or looking to shift left with confidence, simulation can be a game-changer.
Key Learning Objective
Learn how simulation helps eliminate environment and dependency blockers in QA.
Understand the ABCD of Simulation —Access, Behavior, Cost, and Data—and how it drives testing efficiency.
See how simulation enables realistic, repeatable tests for both expected and edge-case scenarios.
Get practical tips to introduce simulation into your testing strategy without major disruption.
