A good tester uses communication not only to 'let others know', but also to get the information they need. An even greater tester knows how to use communication as part of their actual testing, to focus their process and achieve better results.
In this Webinar we will go over all the advanced aspects of communication and how to leverage them as part of your testing:
- The communication process in testing - a 360 Degree view.
- How to leverage communication as an ongoing part of your process.
- Tips and tricks on how to communicate effectively with your project stakeholders.

Communication and Testing: Why You Have Been Wrong All Along!TechWell
You ran all the tests you planned for your team, you reported all the bugs with clear and to the point descriptions, and you sent a weekly email with a professional PowerPoint presentation including graphs and statistics pointing out the risk areas and project issues. However, you still feel the organization is not taking your testing seriously, management is unaware of what your team is achieving—and apparently no one is actually reading your reports. Sound familiar? Everyone else is not the problem; the way you are communicating your testing information is! Join Joel Montvelisky to review some common real-life problems and mistakes testers make while communicating the results of their work—all of which affect the way people treat their testing deliverables. Joel presents a practical model to help testers plan and perform their communications based on the very different needs of their stakeholders. And finally, he shows how you can use correct communication skills to increase the perceived value of the test team to the whole organization.
Pin the tail on the metric v01 2016 octSteven Martin
This presentation takes a different approach to metrics. Instead of listing the Top 10 field-tested metrics, we first talk about goals as prerequisites for metrics. Next, we discuss characteristics of good and bad metrics. We end with walking through an activity called “Pin the Tail on the Metric,” a technique to facilitate the critical thinking needed to determine what types of metrics can help your organization discuss trade-offs, options, and ultimately make better forward-looking decisions.

Recruitment Journeys from Berlin's Tech – Survey Report 2018Caissa Global
Berlin's job market is candidate-driven. To stay competitive, companies need to understand the candidates, their needs, wants, joys and pains. And then, they should incorporate this knowledge into their recruitment process. Unfortunately, we often see that companies and candidates are not on the same page when it comes to hiring.
To back up our observations with data, we ran a survey asking tech professionals about their recruitment journeys. We hope that the findings, along with individual stories, will help Berlin-based companies reconsider and improve their hiring practices.

Managing Large-scale Multimedia Development ProjectsSimon Price
Keynote presentation at IEEE International Conference on Multimedia in Engineering Education 1998, Hong Kong. This paper presents generally applicable techniques drawn from the experience of managing the UK's Teaching and Learning Technology Programme (TLTP) Economics Consortium project to develop WinEcon - a computer based package covering an entire first year introductory economics degree course. The WinEcon project has been a highly successful, large scale multimedia project. It has received multiple international awards, is site licensed by over 80% of UK universities and over 200 organisations world wide. However, what really happens when you set out to develop the world's largest computer based training package for economics with a team of 35 content experts and 17 programmers distributed across eight geographically separate sites is a far cry from the typical case study found in a 'software project management' textbook. There are inherent characteristics of multimedia software which make its development difficult. Consequently any multimedia project carries a high risk of failing to deliver on time, quality or budget and the nature of large scale development projects only serves to amplify the risk to such a degree that many such projects fail to deliver satisfactorily in any of these three areas. These management challenges encountered by the WinEcon project are independent of subject matter and must be addressed when managing any large scale multimedia development.
Continuous testing maximising velocity, quality and customer happinessPractiTest
Organizations turn to Agile and DevOps to increase value and improve the customer experience by maximizing the speed of delivery without sacrificing quality. As the champions of quality, testers achieve this goal through continuous testing. But just what is continuous testing?

Karishma Kolli – Myth Busters on Test AutomationPractiTest
Slides from Karishma Kolli's Fall OnlineTestConf session – Myth Busters on Test Automation
There is a misconception in software world about automation testing that it is a “Magic wand that takes care of all your testing needs” but in reality it is NOT.
Test automation is at times mistaken to be the be-all and end-all testing solution. Why can’t it take care of all our needs? How and when should I choose automation? What’s my developer’s role in test automation? How much of ROI will I have with test automation? How can I get the best of both worlds(Manual and automation)?
These questions and more were addressed in this OnlineTestConf session.

The New Normal for Development and Testing in Agile and DevOpsPractiTest
Slides from Michael Sowers's 2017 Fall OnlineTestConf session – The New Normal for Development and Testing in Agile and DevOps.
Software development and testing are getting more challenging because of the tremendous complexity we face At the same time, agile, DevOps and other adaptive approaches allow us to innovate faster and deliver improvements, almost continuously.
For development and testing, this means more change, less certainty, even shorter development and testing windows, a constant flow of new functionality to deploy, and the lingering risk of major or catastrophic failures.
This presentation will highlight some of the characteristics of the New Normal in Development & Testing such as data analytics, TestDev thinking, continuous everything, pervasive automation and near real-time metrics and others. The audience will leave with renewed perspectives and ideas on how to better equip themselves to embrace this new normal.

Slides from Joel Montveliksy's 2017 Fall OnlineTestConf session – Testing in the future. Today.
Word in the street is that Testing is changing.
You know what? Testing has already changed! But the truth is that even with all these aggressive changes taking place in our working environment, there is a lot about the core values of testing that still remains relevant.
In this session Joel will go over the changes taking place in the testing world, the core values that are still relevant today in testing just as there were 10 and 20 years ago, and how to develop an approach to continue being relevant as testers in the years to come.

As presented at Spring OnlineTestConf, June13-14, 2017
www.onlinetestconf.com
We all know that the tester’s role on the agile projects is not the same as the one on a traditional waterfall’s. But what values do testers now add to the agile teams? What are the most commonly encountered challenges that the testers nowadays face? Do they need to know how to write a code? Is automated testing really the key solution to all these issues? We’ll try to answer these and (of course) some of your questions at this session and explore some real case examples from our international projects and our testing community.
We would like to help testers to find the needed power to understand their real values and principles that support the agile projects and let them become aware that they are also an important part of a whole-team approach, together with the developers and the business representatives.
Presentation Takeaways:
1. How to overcome some of the challenges that testers face working in agile teams.
2. What values testers need to embrace and add to agile teams.
3. How to bridge over barriers between traditional and agile testing

Join QualiTest CEO Ayal Zylberman for a session to learn about Artificial Intelligence and how it relates to testing. We have all talked about the future and the possibility of machines replacing humans in decision-making. According to McKinsey, 60% of all occupations could see 30% or more of their constituent activities automated. Therefore we must ask ourselves how it will impact our job as testers. What testing aspects can already be automated or will soon be automated, and what parts of a tester's job benefit from the human advantage?

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.
Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

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.
Large Language Models and the End of ProgrammingMatt Welsh
Talk by Matt Welsh at Craft Conference 2024 on the impact that Large Language Models will have on the future of software development. In this talk, I discuss the ways in which LLMs will impact the software industry, from replacing human software developers with AI, to replacing conventional software with models that perform reasoning, computation, and problem-solving.
Globus Compute wth IRI Workflows - GlobusWorld 2024Globus
As part of the DOE Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) program, NERSC at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and ALCF at Argonne National Lab are working closely with General Atomics on accelerating the computing requirements of the DIII-D experiment. As part of the work the team is investigating ways to speedup the time to solution for many different parts of the DIII-D workflow including how they run jobs on HPC systems. One of these routes is looking at Globus Compute as a way to replace the current method for managing tasks and we describe a brief proof of concept showing how Globus Compute could help to schedule jobs and be a tool to connect compute at different facilities.
Globus Connect Server Deep Dive - GlobusWorld 2024Globus
We explore the Globus Connect Server (GCS) architecture and experiment with advanced configuration options and use cases. This content is targeted at system administrators who are familiar with GCS and currently operate—or are planning to operate—broader deployments at their institution.
In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.
