Talk at Testwarez conference. I discussed the fact the climate impact of ICT and also software testing must be reduced. ICT also carries part of the carbon footprint, and even though we can help other industries minimize their carbon footprint, we can also minimize our own carbon footprint. It is there, and it can be significant if we don't optimize what we do.
I talk about test environments, using cloud, optimizing test suites, using automation for testing and for infrastructure and for continuous delivery. Throughout you can optimize.
Early quality means less cost, which luckily also means less climate impact, so it is easily argumented when making changes into how we create and test software.
In this presentation, we will discuss production planning system, factors determining production control procedure, role of production planning and control in operations management, scope of production planning and control, its phases and principles. We will also talk about framework for strategy formulations and task control, PPC limitations, effectiveness, PPC in different systems, requirement of an effective PPC in a system and make or buy analysis.

Review on GROUP TECHNOLOGY & it’s implementationManoj Gowda K
Manufacturing philosophy which advocates simplification and standardization of similar parts in order to reduce complexity in manufacturing.
GT is a manufacturing concept in which similar parts are grouped together in parts groups families.
Software testing has a climate impact, there's a carbon footprint also from testing. Of course there's a carbon handprint too, as in most ICT - we get to reduce carbon emission elsewhere by implementing and testing good ICT. But we also need to take care of our own backyard, meaning we need to understand how we can minimize the use of test environments, optimize test sets etc. to use less energy.

Kari Kakkonen Climate Impact of Software TestingKari Kakkonen
FiSTB Testing Assembly conference slides by me about software testing impact on climate. In other words sustainability of software testing. Or green testing. Whatever you call it, software testing also has an impact on climate (the carbon footprint), which you can minimize. But you can also have a handprint which is the positive impact of our actions to the climate.
My slides at SEETEST conference in Bucharest 20.9.2023 about climate impact of software testing, which is part of sustainability in software testing. I talk about Green ICT and Green Testing, and how Testing can measure also the Climate Impact of software in addition to other quality characteristics of testing. Also I discuss how test environments and other testing actions can include climate impact minimizing activities. Testing can both help coding become more green and also minimize the carbon footprint of itself.
The current response to the topic of green software development is very pleasing. However, this was not always the case. Misunderstandings often arise, especially between practice and research. Does this really have to be the case? As a former researcher, I have changed my perspective to that of a developer and will use examples and some anecdotes to show which misunderstandings occur and how we can counteract them in order to work together towards the same goal.
Agile Testing – embedding testing into agile software development lifecycle Kari Kakkonen
My presentation on Agile Testing, including a tuning concept and a case study of agile testing choices in a project, held 16 of June, 2014 at a customer internal seminar.
I shared my views about how to become a multitalented tester in the Tester of the Year award event at Tieturi on 30.3.2023. The award is given annually by TestausOSY (FAST) and Tieturi. This event announced the 2022 winner and I presented as the 2021 winner.
The presentation discussed 5 aspects of Testing Roles, routes to testing, and adding new roles and skills to become even more multitalented. I also shared my journey to become a multitalented tester.
The slides are in English even though this time I talked in Finnish.
Testing tools and AI - ideas what to try with some tool examplesKari Kakkonen
My slides at SAST conference in Stockholm 11.4.2024.
I cover a bit of background why AI is a big thing and also testers want to use it and can use it.
Then we discuss following use cases for AI help to testing tools
- anomaly detection8 (like sorting real defects out of lots of defect reports)
- prediction (where to focus testing, based on risks, previous code data, defect data...)2
- test automation tools made more change tolerant when Software Under Test changes
- test script creation more efficiently (e.g using LLM or AI assistants in scripting software to propose you test cases, test script content)
- test automation done almost autonomously (e.g. having general or default tests run first by AI, or having test automation bots running your test automation cases continuously

This talk was given in GeoSTQB webinar on June 15, 2020. Several strengthening trends are discussed. Testing careers are evolving – there are entries into testing and out of testing. Testing is becoming a role for everyone. ISTQB, as the world’s largest testing association, provides guidance into different testing activities, supporting testing careers. Another influential aspect is the on-march of agile teams, where testing is a whole team responsibility. Then there is test automation - that is an ever-increasing domain within testing. Test automation is not taking tester jobs away, but it is transforming them, giving tools for testing. Then there is DevOps – placing testing in the middle of a largely automated delivery pipeline. There is a place for manual testing, too, but test automation has a big meaning here. Finally, Artificial Intelligence is transforming all IT task, including testing. Automation of activities can now or soon be done in a scale that wasn’t possible earlier. Do we have reason to fear for our jobs? No – AI is best placed as yet another aid for the increasing demand of good quality in software, that is more complex than ever. Soon, we couldn’t cope without AI.
There are not only one correct solution to many of the tasks we do within testing, we need a toolbox of many different tools and the pragmatism to acknowledge that we cannot use the same every time - there are no one size fits all :-)
Becoming a Multitalented Tester - at KDSKari Kakkonen

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

An exploratory testing checklist inspired by children. Insights into how children test and how professional testers can utilize that knowledge.
Knights of Quality: Immersive talk about software testingKari Kakkonen
My talk at Findmore Academy in Portugal, online, on Oct 11, 2023. In the slides I discuss my own journey to be Knight of Quality but I also talk about other kinds of Knights, the knights the battle dragons, in the fantasy stories. The knights represent developers and testers, and the dragons represent defects. The talk also summarize how a fun way to learn testing (a fantasy story parallel) can give additional insights into everyday testing life.
The slides (in English, expect the title) of our "How to test an AI application?" webinar. Presenters in Finnish were Mark Sevalnev and Kari Kakkonen, using English slides. The webinar slides are partially from Knowit and partially (with permission) from Knowit's AI testing course material provider STA Consulting.
We gave a quick overview to AI/ML today, as such understanding is needed to be able to test software that has AI in it. Then we discussed how to test such an AI application with some examples.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
