Improving Test Team Throughput via Architecture by Dustin WilliamsQA or the Highway
A lot of modern testing teams are built from people with some automation experience, developers, and people who think code is something used to open a safe. These diverse backgrounds bring a diverse set of ideas, but don’t always find optimal division of work. With some fairly small changes in automated test design, we can leverage the best skills of all team members to not only improve throughput, but to end up with a better overall product. These design principles help isolate truly challenging code problems and help separate the concerns of test structure and test execution. If your team has ever said (with sad faces) “We’re still automating that”, then come discover how tomorrow you can exclaim “That’s Done!”
It’s easy to get focused on your test cases, automation suite, gherkin, cucumber, acceptance criteria etc. and miss the big picture. This talk will focus on the importance of QA being involved in ALL aspects of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) from inception to support. As product owner, I advocate for EVERYONE on the team to own the product. This approach results in higher quality, higher customer satisfaction, and higher team morale. In this talk I will address:
How QA can get more involved throughout the whole SDLC
How managers can encourage QA to be more involved throughout the whole SDLC
How agile can help QA be more holistic
Tools and techniques that have facilitated a more holistic approach
What it really looks like for QA to own the product
Attendees will come away with a new outlook on the QA role and ideas on how to implement positive change in their organization, whether they are QA or a leader of QA.
If you work in the field of testing/QA then it is likely that you have encountered test automation in one form or another. Maybe you have embraced it and have gained expertise. Or maybe you’ve avoided it because you’re hoping it’s a fad that will fade away. I’m guessing most of you would like to learn it but don’t know where to start.
My goal is simple: to demystify the subject by taking a novice tester with no coding experience through the process of writing a simple automated test using the Page Object framework in Ruby/Cucumber. I will take a volunteer from the audience and transform that person from an ordinary QA professional (or whatever their occupation) into an automation engineer in one short hour.
Don’t be afraid; the code will not bite. Much.
Building a Raspberry Pi Robot with Dot NET 8, Blazor and SignalR - Slides Onl...Peter Gallagher
In this session delivered at Leeds IoT, I talk about how you can control a 3D printed Robot Arm with a Raspberry Pi, .NET 8, Blazor and SignalR.
I also show how you can use a Unity app on an Meta Quest 3 to control the arm VR too.
