Test Driven Development is an engineering concept with practices that has great benefit to business. For example, if your business wants to have idealised and revered products, you will have:
- an ability to deliver high quality products which keep up with the latest customer wishes;
- products which are constantly updated with the latest cool features; and
- ability to very quickly resolve any issues that do occur – and they do for even the best organisation
We will share with you why Test Driven Development is a pivotal tool in the fight to be one of those inspiring organisations. We will cover the practices at a high level and go into the outcomes of those practices. We will include not only how the business should benefit directly from them, but also how they provide indirect benefits for the team and the organisation. Every positive has some negatives, whether they are perceived or actual, long term or short term). We will touch on how they are like any form of exercise – they will be hard work at times, but afterwards the results will include fitter, stronger and faster teams able to delivery consistently better results.
As a manager or leader, you will be able to walk away with insight that will enable you to determine how TDD is worth following up in your domain.
As someone within the delivery team, you will leave with deeper understanding of how you, your team and your company can effectively benefit from Test Driven Development.
This document summarizes an Agile Test Automation session which covered:
- The agenda included an introduction to Agile testing process and tools, a demonstration, and Q&A
- Agile values like communication and feedback affect testing by making the whole team responsible for quality using test-driven development and continuous integration
- Test automation tools discussed included test harnesses like JUnit and Selenium, as well as functional testing tools like Cucumber and Concordion
Testing Transformation: The Art and Science for SuccessTechWell
Technologies, testing processes, and the role of the tester have evolved significantly in the past few years with the advent of agile, DevOps, and other new technologies. It is critical that we testing professionals evaluate ourselves and continue to add tangible value to our organizations. In your work, are you focused on the trivial or on real game changers? Jennifer Bonine describes critical elements that help you artfully blend people, process, and technology to create a synergistic relationship that adds value. Jennifer shares ideas on mastering politics, maneuvering core vs. context, and innovating your technology strategies and processes. She explores how new processes can be introduced in an organization, what the role of organizational culture is in determining the success of a project, and how you can know what tools will add value vs. simply adding overhead and complexity. Jennifer reviews critically needed tester skills and discusses a continual learning model to evolve your skills and stay relevant. This discussion can lead you to technologies, processes, and skills you can stake your career on.

Scrum/Agile Product over Project
Look at how the Agile Manifesto and Scrum sets up the team to be Product and Customer focused. We’ll look at the first two principles of the Agile Manifesto and how these lay the groundwork to keep the customer and the product or service we provide them foremost in our priorities. We’ll look at specific Scrum roles and expectations found in the Scrum framework and how these too center our attention on product and the customer..
Delivery: Product over Project
We’ll look at how having a project delivery focus can reduce understanding the customer. We’ll look at how having a product focus helps drive more frequent deliveries. We’ll also take about the winners and losers when we have the project focus driving our delivery rhythms. We’ll also provide some tips on to make your product & customer central to your delivery strategy.
Team: Product over Project
We’ll look at the downside of having project teams including how the temporary nature of projects affects business success. This may include less innovation, no appetite for risk, less opportunity to end the project early, burned out team members, transient team members, and less understanding of product and customers. We’ll look at ways of moving to product teams, some hard, like absorbing backend platform team into the product team or creating end-to-end product teams with no external dependencies.
Customer: Product over Project
We’ll see how the project focus can neglect the customer even when the customer’s feedback is most needed. We’ll hear the story of our company, the Mickey MouseTrap Co, and how we get it all wrong because we are too strongly focused on the project and project delivery date. We hear the lessons learned and how having a product focus would have mitigated our loses. Our view of the customer’s advantage when we have a product focus ties together Delivery and Team product focus.
What you can do
Here we’ll see how having a project as a wrapper around our product work acts as a timebox and target. Highlight some of the actions to start the movement towards Product Teams. We’ll review today’s outcomes.

Flow Efficiency is an incredibly powerful improvement driver. It shows you how efficient the work is flowing through your value stream.
The status quo is still around maximising the resource allocation and efficiency. Organisations are too focused on that and they forget to look to the work.
The formula to find the flow efficiency is simple: touch time, divided by lead-time, times 100%. It shows you the proportion of time you spend adding value to a piece of work in comparison with the lead time.
The commonly observed flow efficiency in traditional organisations is around 15%, which means that, on average, 85% of the time every piece of work is actually idling in queues, accumulating waiting time. That’s rouge!
Most of the time, organisations are trying to increase efficiency on the value added time, forgetting that the waiting time, is where we have the biggest room for improvements.
By identifying and shifting 25% of the average lead time from waiting time to value-added time, and organisation is literally, in one year, getting back the equivalent of three months of capacity from their entire team.
What would you do if you had an extra three months of capacity from your team every year, just by tweaking the way of working?
This talk will show you how to increase your flow efficiency by identifying and fixing common sources of waiting time.
This document presents an overview of agile testing. It discusses how agile testing differs from general testing by following the principles of agile software development and involving all team members, including testers. The document notes that specification by example is used to define desired and undesired behaviors to guide coding. Some benefits of agile testing are more testing time, continuous testing, face-to-face communication, self-organization, less manual testing, and competency development.
(Mis)understanding flow with metrics - Johan KarlssonHansoft AB
This document discusses the importance of understanding product development flow using metrics. It argues that organizations should not be dogmatic about which metrics they use and should trust people over data unless data is being used for a good reason. The document suggests we may be experiencing a paradigm shift in how metrics are used, from a focus on performance metrics to using scientific methods to discover what actually affects outcomes. It maintains that organizations that can discover and understand their actual product development flow will have a competitive advantage.
Challenges with measuring quality for agile distributed research type projectChandan Patary
The document discusses challenges with quality assurance for distributed agile teams. Initial challenges included building quality in from the start rather than adding it later, addressing the different nature of research projects, and missing a focus on addressing quality early. It then describes the product development organization structure and quality assurance team structure, emphasizing a sustainable test team structure and encouraging pair testing. The rest of the document provides solutions and best practices for quality assurance, including applying lean principles to prevent defects, using risk-based testing strategies, creating test plans with a big picture view, focusing on communication between testers and customers, and emphasizing automated testing, continuous integration, and continuous improvement.
Agile software development methodology is sweeping the IT Industry. Many organizations are experimenting with Agility and there are many “brands” of Agile including Scrum, XP, Lean, Crystal Clear and DSDM. Adoption of one of these methodologies could be wholesale in the case of a small well defined project that has no dependencies on other projects and can be completely delivered by a trained and motivated team. As these types of adoptions are rare organizations are looking for ways to ease into Agile practices without losing productivity.
This session is designed to discuss and identify ways that agile enablers can facilitate the transition to Agile practices. Participants learn basic Agile practices as well as techniques for introducing them to the software delivery team. This session will present common software delivery problems and the Agile path to solutions.
Every cross functional Agile Team has a set of specialists who pitch in at various time to ensure a backlog is ready to be customer shippable sprint by sprint. These could be development specialists, test specialists, documentation specialists, operations specialists, business analysts and other specializations. As in mathematics the ratio of each of these is critical to the success of any sprint as their skills lend expertise and learning to others. In this session we explore if the number of devlopment specialist to test specialist within a cross functional agile team has a golden ratio? In this experience report what will be covered is learnings from scenarios where there is no test specialist in the team to a ratio where number of test specialists are more than development specialists. What will be covered are examples of sample ratios and the good and the bad of these ratios to an actual scenario. The implications of getting this ratio are discussed not just from product development but from a financial, people and type of company (startup, enterprise, service, product). In the end the session should help product owners, scrum masters and scrum team members get a insight into this crucial element of any agile project

Big Apple Scrum Day 2015 - Advanced Scrum Metrics PresentationJason Tice
Presentation given at Big Apple Scrum Day 2015 on advanced metrics for agile and scrum teams. It is recommended that teams track a few metrics for each of the 5 categories outlined in the presentation to be able to assess the impact of activities supportive of continuous improvement. The presentation includes over 30 metrics to give teams ideas on what they can measure. There isn’t a requirement to track 30 metrics on a scrum or agile team but rather teams should track just enough metrics to be able to understand their performance.
Selenium DeTox for Achieving the Right Testing PyramidNaresh Jain
Our project was a classic example of Selenium gone wild! As our team embraced the test automation journey, we went crazy and implemented tons of Selenium tests, one for every permutation possible. Soon we realized our feedback cycles were delayed. Our builds were taking hours instead of minutes. And we had a set of complex, fragile tests, which resulted in a lot of false-negative scenarios and finger pointing.
At this point, our team had realized that this is not the path forward. We decided to seriously look at our Selenium tests. We pretty much moved 80% of our Se tests to lower-layers (non-GUI based) tests. And now we have the right testing pyramid on our project.
In this presentation, Naresh Jain explains IDeaS' journey (strategy, techniques, tools, mindset-change and approaches we took) through this transition.

This session describes a simple, self-organizing release management framework that addresses the integration and synchronization of interdependent user stories or the product components of multiple Scrum teams. Tracking these dependencies can be a problem especially when multiple teams contribute to an epic, There can be a temptation to revert to traditional, top-down release management, however this session describes how dependencies can be tracked bottom-up, using a shared construct we call the Collaboration Matrix, which helps multiple teams have visibility of their contribution to the epic allowing them to prioritize and coordinate their releases for optimal value.
We start by reviewing the horizontal vs vertical cake slicing analogy and use simple scenario to illustrate the challenges faced in delivering business epics that span multiple teams. Dependencies resulting from functional (horizontal) teams can make tracking progress across different sprints and releases a multi-dimensional problem – i.e. too difficult. Value delivery requires teams with different velocities and capacities to synch their component releases so the desired workable software/ solution is delivered. This challenge is evident in all Agile scaling efforts and simple, team-based prioritization and release management is shown to have limitations that can result in sub-optimal prioritization of team backlogs – or plain, old bottlenecks. The Collaboration Matrix is introduced as a configuration management pattern resulting from research into a generalized approach to coordinate the release and integration of multi-component solutions. Its use as a self-organizing tool results from the visibility provided to each component team of the dependencies and blockers to the readiness of an epic or solution release train. The matrix, with its visual (Kanban style) representation, can be used in conjunction with other scaling frameworks, including Scrum of Scrums, LeSS and SAFe, to improve value delivery even where value is obscured by dependencies.
The disconnect between the delivery organization and the business is prevalent in the software industry. Somewhere along the line, the real vision behind our projects gets lost. We all know it. Can better metrics help? This session examines some common and not-so-common metrics and introduces Evidence Based Management as a guide for continuously measuring your business goals, aligning them with your software development efforts, and then deciding what to do next.

This session describes a simple, self-organizing release management framework that addresses the integration and synchronization of interdependent user stories or the product components of multiple Scrum teams. Tracking these dependencies can be a problem especially when multiple teams contribute to an epic, There can be a temptation to revert to traditional, top-down release management, however this session describes how dependencies can be tracked bottom-up, using a shared construct we call the Collaboration Matrix, which helps multiple teams have visibility of their contribution to the epic allowing them to prioritize and coordinate their releases for optimal value.
We start by reviewing the horizontal vs vertical cake slicing analogy and use simple scenario to illustrate the challenges faced in delivering business epics that span multiple teams. Dependencies resulting from functional (horizontal) teams can make tracking progress across different sprints and releases a multi-dimensional problem – i.e. too difficult. Value delivery requires teams with different velocities and capacities to synch their component releases so the desired workable software/ solution is delivered. This challenge is evident in all Agile scaling efforts and simple, team-based prioritization and release management is shown to have limitations that can result in sub-optimal prioritization of team backlogs – or plain, old bottlenecks. The Collaboration Matrix is introduced as a configuration management pattern resulting from research into a generalized approach to coordinate the release and integration of multi-component solutions. Its use as a self-organizing tool results from the visibility provided to each component team of the dependencies and blockers to the readiness of an epic or solution release train. The matrix, with its visual (Kanban style) representation, can be used in conjunction with other scaling frameworks, including Scrum of Scrums, LeSS and SAFe, to improve value delivery even where value is obscured by dependencies.
The disconnect between the delivery organization and the business is prevalent in the software industry. Somewhere along the line, the real vision behind our projects gets lost. We all know it. Can better metrics help? This session examines some common and not-so-common metrics and introduces Evidence Based Management as a guide for continuously measuring your business goals, aligning them with your software development efforts, and then deciding what to do next.
