My presentation from EuroSTAR 2015: Your testing is a joke. Or, rather, some parts of some of the testing done by some people reading this will be somewhat analogous to some subset of what some people would accept as jokes. Sometimes. Language can be tricky like that. And that’s one of the things that makes it such a productive tool for jokes, and such a flawed tool for specification. Edward de Bono, in his Lateral Thinking books, makes a strong connection between humour and creativity. Creativity is a key to testing, but jokes? Well, the punchline for a joke could be a violation of some expectation, the exposure of some ambiguity, an observation that no one else has made, or just making a surprising connection. Jokes can make you think and then laugh. But they don’t always work. Does that sound familiar? At Linguamatics we have a weekly caption competition. I wondered what my process for creating entries was and as I spent more time thinking about it, I started to notice parallels with the way that I think about how I test. For instance, I might take each of the key entities in the picture and “factor” them – generate a list of features, related concepts, synonyms and so on. In testing I might then look for overlapping factors for potentially interesting test ideas, in the quest for a caption I might try to use the same approach to find an ambiguity and hence a joke. In this talk I’ll take a genuine joke-making process and de-construct it to make comparisons between aspects of joking and concepts from testing such as the difference between a fault and a failure, oracles, heuristics, factoring, modelling testing as the exploration of a space of possibilities, stopping strategies, bug advocacy and the possibility that a bug, today, in this context might not be one tomorrow or in another. Yes, there will be some jokes in the session. And I’ll try explain why the groans you’ll hear are a good sign too.

Getting Things Done at Scale

Amber Case

Getting things done is different at scale. After Case's company Geoloqi joined Esri in 2012, she grew her division from 6-20 people, and successfully launched two major products in the course of a year. She also managed the transition of the company to Github from Enterprise and spearheaded an effort for more open source projects. This speech will cover what Case learned from managing a team of 6 to managing a team of 20 in an international company of 3,000. It will detail hiring, morale, culture, and translating what you need to do into a language the larger team can understand, and what changes from 2 people to 6, to 20 and more.

Startupfest

How to Handle Explosive Startup Growth (and only slightly lose your sanity) - I've been with Pinterest since the early work-out-of-an-apartment days and am now CTO at Reddit. There's been a feeeew cultural and technological challenges we've had to conquer in the process of building companies from a few employees to 600+ and from a few thousand users to tens of millions. In this talk, I share several important inflection points as a company scales starting from day -100, and talk about the cultural and technological pieces you should have in place. For instance, at what point do you bring in technologies like logging, map reduce, etc? How about SOA? How do you fix trust issues in the team? How do you balance making some engineers managers versus others? Come with questions! If this is your first rodeo, I hope to make it a lot easier.
