Keynote: Testing and Quality in the Scaled Agile Framework for Lean Enterpris...Derk-Jan de Grood
Scaled Agile Framework for Lean Enterprises (SAFe) is the most popular framework used by large programs and companies to achieve business agility. It challenges how testers, Q&A and test managers, and test specialists work together with the entire organisation. Derk-Jan de Grood and Mette Bruhn-Pedersen explain how test professionals can contribute with their knowledge and expertise in a SAFe organisation.
Scaled Agile Framework for Lean Enterprises (SAFe) is becoming the most popular framework used to help large programs and entire companies achieve business agility. It builds on well-known agile-lean principles and methodologies, and puts them together to address challenges not only on team level, but also on program, large solution and portfolio level. Although the framework is described in more details than other comparable frameworks it is not very elaborate on how testing and quality practices fit in. This raises new challenges for testers, Q&A and test managers, test architects, test specialists and people in similar roles together with the entire organisation. Derk-Jan de Grood and Mette Bruhn-Pedersen describe what guidance SAFe actually provides and suggest additional ways test and QA professionals can contribute with their special knowledge and expertise.
The presentation is based on the authors’ experience and an expert session at the 22nd Testing Retreat (2017, Hereford UK). The Testing Retreat is a peer-conference where leaders in the testing and quality profession share their experiences and insights. The participants discussed quality measures and actions that test professionals can take to ensure quality when using SAFe throughout the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). We thank all for their valuable contributions.

Introduction to Agile software testing - The 5th seminar in public seminar series from KMS Technology which have been delivering from 2011 in every two months
In this session, we would discuss what "Agile Testing" is, what are the well known methods and models of Agile Testing and what to expect on the future of Agile Testing.
Join BostonPHP and Michael Bourque as he presents the concept of Scrum and shows why so many people are now deploying scrum to their development projects. Michael will take us through the process and talk about how his company, Parametric Technology Inc. (PTC) , is successfully applying Scrum.
An introduction to the concepts behind Continuous Delivery as well as an introduction to some of the tools available for implementing continuous delivery practices on a new project. This presentation is geared towards Java developers, but is applicable to all.
A test automation framework defines an organization's way of doing things. It is a set of assumptions, concepts and tools that provide support for automated software testing.
Session Abstract:
Agile framework is based on iterative development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams. It’s a set of values and principles that help teams respond to unpredictability through incremental, iterative work cadences and continuous feedback.
Scrum is the most popular methodology under the Agile umbrella. Scrum emphasizes empirical feedback, team self-management, and striving to build shippable product increments within short iterations.
Kanban is another popular flavor of Agile that focuses on visualizing and managing the flow of work, in order to balance demand with available capacity and remove bottlenecks.
Learning Objectives:
> Gain a broad understanding of the Agile framework
> Discover Scrum and Kanban, the two most widely used Agile methodologies, and see how they can be used in construction industry
> Find out how Scrum and Kanban can be combined to have the best of both worlds (Scrumban)
Building Quality In in SAFe – The Testing Organization’s Perspective Yuval Yeret
SAFe emphasizes Building Quality In. We will take a deep dive into how this looks from a testing organization’s perspective and what does a SAFe implementation mean for Testing/QA professionals. We will map SAFe’s approach to best practices in the “”Agile Testing”” world. We will look at examples from the real world of how traditional testing organizations shift left and evolve towards continuous testing.
Learning Objectives and Key Takeaways:
Understand how best practices from the “”Agile Testing”” world map to SAFe’s context
Learn ideas and patterns for evolving Testing/QA’s role during a SAFe implementation
Understand how Test-Driven looks like and how techniques like Acceptance-Test-Driven-Design/Behavior-Driven
Development can empower testers as well as improve the flow on SAFe agile teams.
See how SAFe’s principles can be used to guide the evolution towards a lean/agile testing organization

We all know, given the right mindset, that Agile approaches are a great way to get results and for people to go home feeling that they have contributed.
But no one really asks why. Why does it work?
This presentation, given at the Agile Business Conference in London in 2013 provides a collection of Agile-independant thoughts and ideas to make people think.
Above all, it provides some take aways to help judge if the team has a solid understanding of purpose and if the team is just well, how can on say, "dysfunctional".
What are the Key drivers for automation? What are the Challenges in Agile automation and How to deal with them? How to automate? Who will automate? Which tool to select? Commercial or open source? What to automate? Which features? Here is what our experience says
Planning, scaling and flowing within your agile organizationDimitri Ponomareff
Organizational agility has been defined as the ability of an organization to effectively sense and adapt in complex, rapidly changing conditions so that it can thrive as an organization. In order to achieve great agility, organizations must have a Plan to achieve specific results, define an ideal way to Scale the way they work, and be fully transparent in the way they Flow the work across the organization. In this presentation, we will look at the 5 levels of planning in Agile, various models to scale Agile within an organization and simple ways to visualize the flow of work based on empirical data and innovation accounting.
Agile is not “the latest rage” or just a tech buzzword; Agile methodologies have been transforming organizations all over the world since the unveiling of The Agile Manifesto in 2001. Agile philosophies are helping companies of all sizes create and maintain a tremendous competitive edge in today’s intense global marketplace. Agile is the wave of right now and the wave of the future; helping successful companies eliminate waste and forge a clear path to continuous improvement.
The goal of this presentation is to explore the most efficient way to manage the product backlog, using blitz planning, story maps (walking skeleton) and improving the quality of our stories by focusing on stronger acceptance criteria, as well as using personas. The benefit of having a better way to organize and visualize the product backlog is to improve our ability to conduct release and iteration planning, as well as produce a better product road map. By attending this session you will be better equipped to help your team and product owner work with the product backlog. As a project manager, you will be introduced to simple techniques that will help you better manage your Agile project and improve visibility to all the work.
Organizational agility has been defined as the capability of a company to rapidly change or adapt in response to changes in the market so that it can thrive as an organization. In this session, we will focus on the role of the leader in shaping, promoting and sustaining an Agile organization. We will describe the Agile Mindset, discuss the key elements of an Agile Transformation and reveal the ideal characteristics of an Agile Leader. This interactive session will provide examples from successful Agile organizations and will reveal techniques that participants can use to effectively plan, scale and flow valuable work throughout their own organizations.

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.
Automated verification is becoming increasingly important. Getting a product from idea to customer as fast as possible in a Continuous Delivery, or a Deployment pipeline is crucial in more businesses than ever before. But how do we get a product through that pipe line, with high quality? Kristian will talk about how automated verification can get you there.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

12. The whole team is responsible for quality
Business
● Product Owners / Product Manager
● Subject Matter Experts
Technology
● Architects
● Database Administrators
● User Experience Designers
● Operations/Support team members
Team
● Developers
● Testers
● Business Analysts

13. Is incurred by not developing in the correct way...
Technical Debt
Like Financial Debt - is dangerous if the incurred
interest and the debt itself are not payed...
www.AgileTestingFramework.com
14. Two ways of doing things!
Technical Debt
Clean and smart way - takes
longer to implement but makes
change easier in the future
Quick and dirty way - get your
features sooner, but make the
future changes very hard

16. ● Loss of Productivity
● Increase in Testing
● Postponed Releases
● Code Duplication
● Low Code Coverage
● Increase in Bugs
● Unreadable Code
● Decreased Velocity
● Using Old Libraries
● Heavy Stress on Approaching Deadlines
● Being Scared of Changing Anything
● Evil Hacks Wrong Design
● Wrong Choice of Technology
Symptoms of Technical Debt

17. Continuous inspection with SonarQube
Managing 7 axes of code quality or preventing the Developers' 7 Deadly Sins
1. Potential Bugs
2. No Coding Standards
3. Duplications
4. Lack of Unit Tests
5. Bad Distribution of Complexity
6. Spaghetti Design
7. Not Enough or Too Many Comments
Strategic Design
1. Strategic debt intentionally accumulated in a project.
2. Conscious, proactive decisions with larger short term benefits.
3. Focuses on architectural and/or business trade-offs.
4. Forgo’s extensive architecture for increased speed to market or reduced overhead

FDD
FEATURE Driven Development
TDD
TEST Driven Development
BDD
BEHAVIOR Driven Development
www.AgileTestingFramework.com
20. FDD - Feature Driven Development
● Is a client-centric, architecture-centric, and pragmatic software
process
● Feature Breakdown Structure (FBS) instead of WBS
● A feature is a small, client-valued function expressed in the form:
<action> the <result> by/for/of/to a <object>
www.AgileTestingFramework.com
21. TDD - Test Driven Development
Is a rapid cycle of testing, coding, and refactoring
● Relies on a very short development
cycle
● Developer writes automated test case
first
● Test case defines desired improvement
or new function
● Next develops minimum amount of
code to pass test
● Lastly refactors the new code to
acceptable standards
Code refactoring is a "disciplined technique for
restructuring an existing body of code, altering its
internal structure without changing its external behavior"
www.AgileTestingFramework.com
22. BDD - Behavior Driven Development
● Outside-in and pull-based - Wire-frame > Test Cases > Coding
● Multiple-stakeholder, multiple-scale, high-automation
● Describes a cycle of interactions with well-defined outputs
● Results in the delivery of working, tested software that matters

23. TDD, BDD and automated testing...
TDDBDD
TDD invests in automated Unit tests.
BDD invests in automated Acceptance tests.

STORY NAME: Save a list of potential cars for later review
As a: Buyer
I can: Add a car to my wish list
So that: I can review my top choices at a later time.
Acceptance Criteria
Scenario 27.1: Add a car to my wish list
Given: A potential buyer is logged in
