Here are a few potential questions from the document:
- What is the true value of ISTQB certifications beyond just checking a box for management? How can the knowledge be applied practically?
- How can metrics be designed and used effectively to assess quality and test coverage in an agile environment? What are some examples of valid and invalid metrics?
- What artifacts or information are useful to include in a test plan even for agile teams using tools like JIRA? How can a test plan provide value beyond just additional paperwork?
- What techniques can be used to effectively estimate defect severity when multiple testers with different perspectives are involved? How can consistency be achieved?
- How can root cause analysis be applied

All engineering teams run into trouble from time to time. Alert fatigue, caused by technical debt or a failure to plan for growth, can quickly burn out SREs, overloading both development and operations with reactive work. Layer in the potential for communication problems between teams, and we can find ourselves in a place so troublesome we cannot easily see a path out. At times like this, our natural instinct as reliability engineers is to double down and fight through the issues. Often, however, we need to step back, assess the situation, and ask for help to put the team back on the road to success.

New Model Testing: A New Test Process and ToolTEST Huddle
In this webinar, Paul described his experiences of building and using a bot for paired testing and also propose a new test process suitable for both high integrity and agile environments. His bot – codenamed System Surveyor – builds a model of the system as you explore and captures test ideas, risks and questions and generates structured test documentation as a by-product.
Controlling Project during Development with a Defect Model, Ben Linders, Euro...Ben Linders
To get more insight into the quality of the product during development, it is needed to measure processes with two views: Introduction of defects, and detection. Introduction is done during the requirements, architecture, design and coding phases; defects are either introduced into documents or into the actual product code. Detection is done in test phases, and in the previously mentioned phases by means of inspections and reviews. By using these two measurements, a project can determine if and what the quality risk is: Too many defects in the product, or insufficient testing done.
The presentation will focus upon:
- Goals: What was the purpose of the model, why was it developed, what did we want to reach?
- How: Both the definition of the model and its implementation and application will be highlighted?
- Tools: The tool that was developed to implement the model, how it works, strengths.
- Results: How did the model and tool help the project? Did it live up to its purpose?
- Success factors: What were the key issues that we have dealt successfully with? Why did we focus on them, and how?
- Future: How is this model used in future projects, what could further increase its benefits?
The presentation will show the benefits that the model/tool has brought to the project and organisation. Mainly it was the ability to manage process & product quality, and support decisions, based on data collected in the project and industrial date, i.e. without having to build up historical data in previous projects.
The defect model uses techniques like Orthogonal Defect Classification and Test Matrices for analysis of the defect data. Feedback of the data towards designers, testers, and project management was key in validating the data, and getting good analysis results for corrective and preventive actions.

Controlling Project during Development with a Defect Model, Ben Linders, ICST...Ben Linders
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could have more insight into the quality of a product, while it is developed, and not afterwards? Would you like to be able to estimate how many defects are inserted in the product in a certain phase, and how effective a (test) phase is in capturing these defects? To optimize your test phases regarding focus and effort in relation to how many defects they will find? This presentation will show a simple but very effective model that makes it possible: The Project Defect Model.
The aim of the Project Defect Model is to track product quality, take corrective actions and reduce quality risks. To get more insight into the quality of the product during development, it is needed to measure the software development processes with two views: Introduction and detection of defects. Introduction is done during the specification, design and coding phases; defects are either introduced into documents or into the actual product. Detection of defects is done via inspections and test during all the phases of the project.
A tool was developed using a spreadsheet. The purpose of the tool was to estimate the number of defects per phase, and to track all defects discovered in inspections and tests against these estimates. The tool supported analysis of the data with both calculated values and graphs comparing actuals to estimates in terms of current status and trends over time.
The Project Defect Model has been beneficial to projects. It has helped estimating, planning, and tracking quality during the project, including an estimate of the the number of defects left in the released product. The quality data has been used in the project together with time and cost data, to take better decisions on test, review and inspections, and design. Also it has identified quality risks at an early stage, helping the project take corrective actions and decisions on product release and maintenance capacity planning. Finally the model provided insight into the effectiveness of the verification activities, supporting effective process improvement.
Paper:
The presentation is on a defect planning/tracking tool and approach. Focus will be upon:
• Goals: What was the purpose of the model, why developed, what did we want to reach?
• How: Show the definition of the model and its implementation and application.
• Tools: The tool that was developed to implement the model, how it works, strengths.
• Results: How did the model and tool help the project? Did it live up to its purpose?
• Success factors: What were key issues that we have dealt successfully with?
• Future: How is this model used in future projects, what could further increase its benefits?
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.

Growing a Company Test Community: Roles and Paths for TestersTEST Huddle
Over the past three years, our company’s test team has grown from three lonesome testers to a community of nine – with more planned. Since we don’t see testers as “click monkeys”, but as valuable and integrated project members who bring a specific skill set to the table, it’s important for us to choose testers well and to train them in various areas so that they can contribute, grow and see their own career path within testing.
To structure to our internal tester training program, we have been developing role descriptions, education paths and career options for our testers, which I’d like to share with you in this webinar.

Develop a Defect Prevention Strategy—or Else!TechWell
Defects occurring throughout the development of a software project penalize the project. The effort spent remediating these defects robs the project team of valuable time, resources, and money that could otherwise be used for further innovation and delivering the highest possible quality product to wow the customer. The occurrence of a large percentage of these defects can be avoided with preventive defect removal strategies. Scott Aziz describes various methods for removing defects during the early design and development phases―long before testing. Methods include requirements-based testing that eliminates 95 percent of requirements defects prior to the coding phase, code reviews and inspections, and establishing model-based test design practices that allow for testing business requirements before any code is developed. Take back and adopt in your environment some of the most effective early defect prevention practices known and practiced in the industry today.
Software Quality Metrics Do's and Don'ts - XBOSoft-QAI WebinarXBOSoft
This slide presentation is from the QAI -Quest sponsored webinar with #XBOSoft where Philip Lew covered the Do's and Don'ts of #Software #Quality and Software #Testing Metrics.
This webinar discussed some of the most common mistakes in using software quality metrics and measurements. The primary take away is to learn from the mistakes of others, particularly where to use and not use #metrics to measure your testing and QA efforts. The last thing you want is to measure the wrong thing and create unwanted behavior. With knowledge of what not to do, we’ll then dive into how to develop a measurements and metrics framework that aligns with the organization’s business objectives. This means taking on a manager’s viewpoint so that your metrics don’t just measure testing progress, but also measure product quality and how it impacts an organization’s bottom line. As part of the webinar, we’ll discuss a variety of metrics that can be used to track work effort with results and enable you to plan and forecast your testing needs.
Use the Windshield, Not the Mirror Predictive Metrics that Drive Successful ...Seapine Software
Sharon Niemi, Practice Director of SQA, talks about how the right combination of predictive and reactive metrics can help you build a measurement portfolio that improves product quality and release consistency. You’ll learn how to build a measurement system that incorporates leading and lagging indicators to improve your team’s consistency in delivering quality products on time and within budget.
Has your organization ever considered replacing a tester that did not write, for example, 15 test cases per day? Is the testing team blamed if defect leakage is greater than 5% into production? What drives decisions like these? The common thread in these examples is “Test Metrics”
Test Metrics... Everyone has an opinion about them. Some believe they are the most valuable way to communicate the results of testing. Some think that they are useless, misleading, and damaging to the communication of test results. Some believe that without measurement you are not managing the effort. And some believe that bad metrics are worse than no metrics at all.
Where does your organization fit in the metrics and measurement debates? Is your team aligned? Do you agree with the team? Do you use a reporting process for test results? Are you forced to report on metrics you don't believe are valuable? Do you have dozens of metrics that you are reporting periodically that no one looks at, and when they do look at them, there is room for misinterpretation?
In this session, Mike Lyles and Jay Philips will challenge the audience to discuss the topic of metrics and measurement, review multiple viewpoints on the topic, and address many of the questions that organizations have today around metrics and measurement.
Takeaways:
- Top metrics that are misused or misunderstood in most every organization.
- Metrics that you should you get rid of ASAP!
- Best and Worst metrics - based on opinions of the speakers & audience.
- Metrics that everyone should use – and how they compare to your organization’s metrics.
- Tools and processes that can help your organization better measure your testing.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
Water scarcity is the lack of fresh water resources to meet the standard water demand. There are two type of water scarcity. One is physical. The other is economic water scarcity.
Automobile Management System Project Report.pdfKamal Acharya
The proposed project is developed to manage the automobile in the automobile dealer company. The main module in this project is login, automobile management, customer management, sales, complaints and reports. The first module is the login. The automobile showroom owner should login to the project for usage. The username and password are verified and if it is correct, next form opens. If the username and password are not correct, it shows the error message.
When a customer search for a automobile, if the automobile is available, they will be taken to a page that shows the details of the automobile including automobile name, automobile ID, quantity, price etc. “Automobile Management System” is useful for maintaining automobiles, customers effectively and hence helps for establishing good relation between customer and automobile organization. It contains various customized modules for effectively maintaining automobiles and stock information accurately and safely.
When the automobile is sold to the customer, stock will be reduced automatically. When a new purchase is made, stock will be increased automatically. While selecting automobiles for sale, the proposed software will automatically check for total number of available stock of that particular item, if the total stock of that particular item is less than 5, software will notify the user to purchase the particular item.
Also when the user tries to sale items which are not in stock, the system will prompt the user that the stock is not enough. Customers of this system can search for a automobile; can purchase a automobile easily by selecting fast. On the other hand the stock of automobiles can be maintained perfectly by the automobile shop manager overcoming the drawbacks of existing system.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
Final project report on grocery store management system..pdfKamal Acharya
In today’s fast-changing business environment, it’s extremely important to be able to respond to client needs in the most effective and timely manner. If your customers wish to see your business online and have instant access to your products or services.
Online Grocery Store is an e-commerce website, which retails various grocery products. This project allows viewing various products available enables registered users to purchase desired products instantly using Paytm, UPI payment processor (Instant Pay) and also can place order by using Cash on Delivery (Pay Later) option. This project provides an easy access to Administrators and Managers to view orders placed using Pay Later and Instant Pay options.
In order to develop an e-commerce website, a number of Technologies must be studied and understood. These include multi-tiered architecture, server and client-side scripting techniques, implementation technologies, programming language (such as PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and MySQL relational databases. This is a project with the objective to develop a basic website where a consumer is provided with a shopping cart website and also to know about the technologies used to develop such a website.
This document will discuss each of the underlying technologies to create and implement an e- commerce website.

3. General Question
What is the value of ISTQB knowledge and
certifications?
- Common vocabulary of testing terms
- Test process consistency improving
- Test effectiveness improving
- Common & best practices
- Recognition as expert
- Be on the same level as many others
4. True Question
What is the TRUE value of ISTQB knowledge and
certifications?
- Clear and visible ROI is a great argument for management
- Calculated real amount of time and resources saved
- Wider view-angle always leads to better risk-management
- Starting “from scratch” always require some classical basis to start
- Adapting classical approaches to real cases using your expertise
- Lots of approaches and tools cannot become obsolete
5. Quality Assessment
Problem: Your are a Test Manager of a team on a
new project moved from another country. There
are 500 test cases written. No formal specification
available.
• How to see “the big picture”?
• What is the ~ test coverage?
• How to start?
• Where to focus the testing effort?
6. Quality Metrics
Metrics that are not valid are dangerous!
Metrics
Qualitative Quantitative
- Expensive
- Risky
- Hard to do well
- Suffer from own
qualitative problems
- Could give a false
impression
- Can’t be used everywhere
- Could be invalid
- Hard to choose valid
metrics
8. Is this metric valid?
𝑇𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑐𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜 =
# 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑠 𝑝𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑑
# 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑠 𝑟𝑎𝑛
- How about other 238459293465013475
tests, which were not run or even defined?
Pretty popular, huh?

14. Test Coverage Measurement
Test cases fully covers the area 1 point
Test cases almost covers the area 0.9 pts
Test cases covers some of functionality 0.5 pts
There are some basic test cases written 0.1 pts
There are no test cases written 0 pts
𝑇𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 =
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑃𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑠
𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑝𝑜𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑠 = 𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑎1_𝑝𝑡𝑠 + … + 𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑁_𝑝𝑡𝑠
• Area size can vary depending on your expectations and resources
• Each area can be divided and measured using the same approach

• This approach can be used for progress measurement on every iteration
• This approach can show the most and least covered areas
• Estimates should be done using review with multiple participants
• Correlation between most/least covered areas and areas priority/risk can
be established and measured
• If each area is still too big to estimate – it can be divided to sub-areas and
estimated the same way
