Despite the belief that a shared context and collaboration drives quality, too often, software testers and quality professionals struggle to find their place within today's integrated agile teams. This session is a practitioner’s view of testing and testing practices within an iterative/incremental development environment. We will begin with a discussion of some of the challenges of testing within an agile environment and delve into the guiding principles of Agile Testing and key enabling practices. Agile Testing necessitates a change in mindset, and it is as much, if not more, about behavior, as it is about skills and tooling, all of which will be explored.
Effective Testing Practices in an Agile EnvironmentRaj Indugula
This is a practitioner’s view of testing and testing practices within an iterative development environment. We will explore the challenges of testing within such an environment and ways to better integrate the QA professional into what is inherently a developer-centric methodology. If quality is paramount, then we ought to move testing to the front of the line and test early and often. Automation lies at the heart of agility and we will look at how test automation techniques and test-first design philosophy might be applied at multiple-levels to drive quality.
Gain a deeper understanding of what Exploratory Testing (ET) is, the essential elements of the practice with practical tips and techniques, and finally, ideas for integrating ET into the cadence of an agile process
In just a few years, the Lean Startup movement has gained influence by promoting a powerful but simple agile product management toolset—one that complements agile software development approaches such as Scrum and kanban. This presentation explores the tools and techniques product owners at startup companies and others are employing today for project visioning, experimental design, evaluating new feature impact, prototyping, split testing, and gaining early customer feedback.
The certification for Foundation Level Extension – Agile Tester is designed for professionals who are working within Agile environments. It is also for professionals who are planning to start implementing Agile methods in the near future, or are working within companies that plan to do so.
You Can't Be Agile If Your Testing Practices Suck - Vilnius October 2019Peter Gfader
Our industry has a problem:
We are not lacking software methodologies, programming languages, tools or frameworks.
We need great software teams.
Great software engineering teams build quality-in and deliver great software on a regular basis.
The technical testing excellence of those teams will help you escape the “Waterfall sandwich” and make your organization a little more agile, from the inception of an idea till they go live.

I believe that our existing models of testing are not fit for purpose – they are inconsistent, controversial, partial, proprietary and stuck in the past. They are not going to support us in the rapidly emerging technologies and approaches. The certification schemes that should represent the interests and integrity of our profession don’t, and we are left with schemes that are popular, but have low value, lower esteem and attract harsh criticism. My goal in proposing the New Model is to stimulate new thinking in this area.

Agile Testing: The Role Of The Agile TesterDeclan Whelan
This presentation provides an overview of the role of testers on agile teams.
In essence, the differences between testers and developers should blur so that focus is the whole team completing stories and delivering value.
Testers can add more value on agile teams by contributing earlier and moving from defect detection to defect prevention.
Quality Jam: BDD, TDD and ATDD for the EnterpriseQASymphony
During Quality Jam 2016 I had the privilege of presenting with one of QASymphony's earliest customers, Better Cloud, on how methodologies like BDD, TDD and ATDD scale for the enterprises. Adam Satterfield is the VP of Quality Assurance at Bettercloud and has been in QA for many years; he has taught me a lot about Behavior Driven Development, Test Driven Development, Acceptance Test Driven Development. In the session we share a new way of testing-- what Adam and I believe to be the next generation of testing development.
We know that there are several ways to do testing and we are just showing one new way to do it - If this session doesn't inspire action, hopefully it will at least give you and your team something to think about.

Wielu Scrum Masterów nie ma pomysłu lub ma trudności z prowadzeniem wartościowych Retrospekcji Sprintu. Młodzi, niedoświadczeni adepci tej sztuki często ograniczają się do jednej dobrze przećwiczonej metody. Najgorzej, kiedy jest to wariacja oparta na plusach i minusach lub ćwiczeniu rozgwiazda. Każdy zespól to widział i szybko się znudzi. Z tego powodu, retrospekcja staje się "koniecznym złem” dla zespołu, nudnym spotkaniem, które nie przynosi żadnej wartości. Zespół przestaje się angażować. Dlatego warto poszerzać warsztat i sprawdzać inne metody. Dzisiaj chciałabym Ci przedstawić Retrospekcję z wykorzystaniem niedawnej zmiany w Scrum Guide - dodanych Wartości Scrum.

The harder you push, the harder the system pushes you backEmiliano Soldi
Slide presented at Better Sofware conference in June 2016.
The talk was about how facilitation, change managment and coaching, are essentials in guiding Agile Transition program
Accelerate [XLR8] your agile transformationEmiliano Soldi
How organizations nowadays could innovate and transform themselves, to catch up with this faster-moving world?
How is possible to incrementally change the organization from within?
How to leverage self-organization, collaborative leadership and motivation to involve people from the whole organization to reach the Big-Opportunity?
Structured organizations today are not keeping pace with a changing world incessantly. The Business Triathlon (Lean Strategy/Start-up, Agile and Change Management) could be the solution.
Scrum, XP, and Kanban have been proven to provide step changes in productivity and quality for software teams. However, these methods do not have the native constructs necessary to scale to challenges of building enterprise class software systems. What the industry desperately needs is a solution that moves from a set of simplistic, disparate, development-centric methods, to a scalable, unified approach that addresses the complex constructs and additional stakeholders in the organization- and enables realization of enterprise-class product or service initiatives via aligned and cooperative solution development.
In this talk, Dean Leffingwell describes how to accomplish this with the Scaled Agile Framework, a publicly - accessible knowledge base of proven Lean and Agile practices for enterprise-class software development. He approaches the problem from the perspectives of Lean thinking and principles of product development flow, illustrating how these core principles help deliver business results at scale, while keeping the development system - and the enterprise - lean and responsive to rapidly changing market needs. And since winning is more fun, he’ll also describe some of the personal benefits that come when teams master the art of delivering better enterprise-class software, at an ever faster pace.
The Agile Scaling Model (ASM) provides the context and advice for effectively tailoring agile techniques. It describes how to extend the agile construction life cycle into a full-fledged disciplined agile delivery life cycle. It then describes how to tailor agile practices to address scaling factors which an agile team may face, including team size, physical distribution, organizational distribution, regulatory compliance, organizational complexity, technical complexity, and enterprise disciplines (such as enterprise architecture, reuse, and portfolio management).
J1 2015 "Debugging Java Apps in Containers: No Heavy Welding Gear Required"Daniel Bryant
It’s easy to get seduced by being able to quickly deploy and scale applications by using containers. However, when things inevitably go wrong, how do you debug your application? This session covers various pro bug hunting tips and tricks. It shows live demos of tools such as the Docker stats API, Docker exec (and top, vmstat, and netstat), and how to use the ELK stack for centralized logging. It also dives into other more sophisticated tools that operate at the application and (micro)service layer, such as Twitter’s Zipkin tracing app, Spring Boot’s Actuator, and DropWizard’s Metrics library. Keep those container-based nightmares away by ensuring that when the worst does happen, you have the tools, info, and experience to debug containerized applications.

Learn how Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD) provides the process for capturing detailed requirements as acceptance criteria and turn them into as test cases before development begins using Behavior Driven Development (BDD). The BDD approach and Gherkin format is the language used to create easy to understand and actionable scenarios that map from the functional level to the components and units. We will discuss the different approaches to TDD including a realistic approach leveraging BDD to a purest standpoint where TDD use the tests to drive the design of the application. Finally understand how the tools in Visual Studio and Team foundation Server to support BDD such as SpecFlow (Cucumber in .NET), Refactoring tools, and Test Cases in MTM.

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.
Exploring Innovations in Data Repository Solutions - Insights from the U.S. G...Globus
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has made substantial investments in meeting evolving scientific, technical, and policy driven demands on storing, managing, and delivering data. As these demands continue to grow in complexity and scale, the USGS must continue to explore innovative solutions to improve its management, curation, sharing, delivering, and preservation approaches for large-scale research data. Supporting these needs, the USGS has partnered with the University of Chicago-Globus to research and develop advanced repository components and workflows leveraging its current investment in Globus. The primary outcome of this partnership includes the development of a prototype enterprise repository, driven by USGS Data Release requirements, through exploration and implementation of the entire suite of the Globus platform offerings, including Globus Flow, Globus Auth, Globus Transfer, and Globus Search. This presentation will provide insights into this research partnership, introduce the unique requirements and challenges being addressed and provide relevant project progress.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

Enhancing Research Orchestration Capabilities at ORNL.pdfGlobus
Cross-facility research orchestration comes with ever-changing constraints regarding the availability and suitability of various compute and data resources. In short, a flexible data and processing fabric is needed to enable the dynamic redirection of data and compute tasks throughout the lifecycle of an experiment. In this talk, we illustrate how we easily leveraged Globus services to instrument the ACE research testbed at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility with flexible data and task orchestration capabilities.
Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.

7. Move Quality Upstream
Small paradigm shift with profound implications
• Testing not a trailing activity
• QA leads the Sprint by providing guidance
and feedback on the business needs of
the emerging product
8. Testing is Continuous, Not a Phase
Continuous testing is the only way to ensure
continuous progress
http://testobsessed.com/
9. Testing is Collaborative
The whole team can only go as fast as the slowest part
• Quality is everyone’s problem, not just of
the testers
• Testing is the responsibility of the whole
team
10. Tests represent Customer Expectations
Oops…that’s not what I intended!
• Shared understanding of what it means
for a story to be done
11. Quick Feedback
How long does the team have to wait for information
about how the software is behaving?
• Faster feedback loops increase Agility –
the ability to respond to change
• Test automation provides rapid feedback
on how the software is behaving
12. “Leave No Broken Windows”
Keep the code clean
• Fix bugs as they are found
• The sooner you find a defect, the cheaper
it is to fix
13. It isn't Done until it’s…
“Done Done”
Coded Tested Done

18. What are acceptance tests?
• Tests that demonstrate business intent of
system from end user’s point of view
• Black-box testing
19. What is Acceptance Test Driven
Development (ATDD)?
A practice in which the whole team
collaboratively discusses acceptance
criteria, with examples, and then distills
them into a set of concrete acceptance
tests before development begins.
- Elisabeth Hendrickson

21. Sample Story Maturation Look-A-Head
The tactical act of getting a story ready is often performed as a
two sprint look-a-head by an “amigos” (BA, QA, Dev) team
Sprint n Sprint n + 1 Sprint n + 2
Select User Story 999 for Sprint n
+2
Re-estimate it, sharpen story &
acceptance criteria
Create testable example and other
supporting material for 999 Develop
User Story 999
The PO and 3+ Amigos look-a-
head and select story 999
for inclusion for Sprint n + 2.
They do cleanup on the story.
The 3+ Amigos further
support the story and the PO
gets appropriate sign offs.
Story 999 makes it’s way into a
sprint and it is built.
23. Modern Agile Acceptance Model
Conditions of Satisfaction –
Broad Terms
Acceptance Criteria –
Further Refined
Examples –
Actual scenarios or data
Executable Examples –
Ready to automate
24. Testable Examples in Gherkin
• Executable Example, Making it Repeatable
• Examples that can be executed are the final step
Given the “Unregistered User” user has navigated to the “register” page
When entering “newuser” in the “Username” field
And entering “abc123” in the “Password” field
And entering “abc123” in the “Confirm Password” field
And pressing the “Register” button
Then the text “Thank you for Registering” should appear on page
And the URL should end with “use/accountPage”
Can be used for both manual testing and automation
25. Automated Acceptance Tests
Tool
(Cucumber, SpecFlow, FitNesse)
Specification
expressed in
common language
“Glue” code that ties

System Under Test
26. Testing Collaboratively
Business Analyst
Develop usage
scenarios
Developer
Tester
Create and execute
tests to simulate
usage scenarios;
Automate regression
testing
Create and maintain
acceptance test “glue”
code that ties test
specification to
system under test
• Should be an integral part of every iteration/sprint, not just a
trailing activity
• Vital not only to prove completeness of a feature in repeatable
fashion, but also to prove that software does not regress as it
evolves
• Success depends on cooperation & collaboration
27. Benefits of ATDD
• Improved requirements elicitation
• Consensus between BA/QA/Dev on the story helps
prevent bugs & gives clear target for development
• Reuse of Acceptance Scenarios for all phases of
testing
• Creates clear examples that everyone understands;
discovers some problems before any development

29. What are unit tests?
Developer tests that determine whether the
smallest piece of testable software in an
application is behaving as expected
Key Characteristics
• Quick to execute
• Easy to execute
• Isolated
• Leave the system under test unaltered
30. Test Doubles (Mocks)
Used to isolate unit tests form external
dependencies
Why use them?
• Ease of setup
• Fast executing
• To work with a subsystem that doesn’t exist
• Simulate various execution paths of external
system
31. What is Test Driven Development (TDD)?
Write a new
test
Red (Failing
Test)
Green (Test
Passes)
Write Code
Benefits
• Better design
• Supports change
• Prevents gold-plating
• Prevent bugs
• Discover bugs

36. Some Barriers to Adoption
Developer : “I’m a developer, not a tester”
Tester: “I’m a tester, not a developer”
Management: “Why does Dev help with testing,
when we have QA?”
• Necessitates behavioral change
• Requires discipline
• Needs generalizing specialists
• Needs collaboration across roles
37. Agile Testing is supported by…
MINDSET

TOOLSET
• Everyone is
responsible to
ensure quality
• Testing is not a

• Testers are not sole
gate-keepers of
quality
• Customer
collaboration
• Requirements

• Writing test
requirements
that assist
developers
• Skills to do
different types of
testing
• Automation
• Effective
communicator

• Development and build tools (source control, CI, code
coverage)
• Requirements and examples (mock-ups, testable
examples)
• Multi-level test automation
