Debugging Your Testing Team
•
0 likes•1,358 views
Over the course of my career I’ve reviewed the performance of countless software testing organizations, test teams, and testers looking for ways we can improve. Typically, the first suggestion when asked "how can we improve the state of testing here", usually relates to something that OTHER people should do. Very few people or teams take an introspective approach to improvement based on their own values and principles. Through this talk, I’ll share the review model and heuristics I use to identify things that are working and areas for improvement including efficiency, process improvement, and aligning your test approach for relevance to your business.

Manual Testing is Dead. Long Live Manual Testing
‘Manual testing’ as a term used to describe testing is extremely confusing. What exactly are they attempting to describe? What do people believe is happening? I believe ‘Manual testing’ displays a lack of consideration of the work, thinking, and effort that goes into testing. However, this depends on who is using the term and why. If testing consists of point and click, then ‘Manual testing’ may be apt. If testing consists of test ideas, prep and experimentation, I don’t believe the term ‘Manual testing’ suits. We need to address this and clarify there is no automation testing or manual testing. There is testing. This talk will be about testing and the need to be able to discuss it more clearly.
Knowing Where to Tap
How do you address an organisations’ “quality problem”? Mark will be talking about his role as Head of Quality at Cambridge Assessment and exploring how he is approaching getting the answers to that very question.

Succeeding as an Introvert
You’re an introvert. You do your best work when you can think a problem through alone in a quiet space. You express yourself better in writing or when you have a heads up before a meeting. But your company is cool! So your office resembles a sweatshop: large rows of desks squished into a concrete room with minimal sound deadening. And you company culture encourages team work! So anyone can call you or stop by your desk with immediate requests of varying levels of emergency. You’re always being put on the spot, only later to think of who would be best qualified to answer the question, what a better solution might be, or where an inefficiency could be eliminated. In my talk, I’ll frame my learnings from Quiet by Susan Cain and Introvert Power by Laurie Helgoe with personal experiences about how to function effectively in offices unfriendly to introverts. I’ll explore how American culture rewards those who speak the most over those who have something to say.

BizDevOps – Delivering Business Value Quickly at Scale
BIZDEVOPS – DELIVERING BUSINESS VALUE QUICKLY AT SCALE
65+% of surveyed organizations are currently on the path to switch to DevOps or have already implemented the process, and the benefits of a properly implemented DevOps program are clear – quicker time to customer value, better alignment between businesses and customers, and a better ability to respond to customer input. However, when it comes to DevOps adoption, many teams rush to focus on one specific issue within one area when they would actually benefit more from aligning business, development, testing, and operations up front. The five major problems in DevOps adoption include:
Lack of Test Automation Coverage
Lack of Visibility into Testing
Maintaining Various Test Versions and Aligning Tests with Versions of Source Code
Maintaining a Single Source of Truth in the Testing Process
Understanding Where Business Value Currently is in the “BizDevOps” Pipeline
After helping hundreds of customers in their DevOps journeys, these three industry experts will cover these major problems, as well as innovative strategies to overcome them:

Quality Jam 2017: Paul Merrill "Machine Learning & How it Affects Testers"
Machine Learning is all the rage. Companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are investing extreme sums of money into their ML budgets. But what is it, and more importantly, how will it affect me, as a tester? Last year, Paul was at a testing conference where a group of 5 executives decreed adamantly that ML would replace testers within the next few years. Anytime 5 executives agree on anything he questions it. So he wanted to learn if they were right. Over the last few months, Paul has researched and learned about ML. He's talked with industry experts in the field and testers with expertise in ML. He wanted to know what they had to say about this decree. He wanted to know, "is testing in danger of being automated by ML?"
Paul Merrill talks about what he's found in his research, provides an introduction to ML, and give info to decide for yourself if the future of testing will be in the hands of ML algorithms.

Where Testers & QA Fit in the Story of DevOps
Where Testers and QA Fit in the Story of DevOps
Continuous delivery. CI. GitHub. Scrum. CD. Jenkins. Continuous testing. Continuous integration. These are just some terms that are supposed to describe the word soup that is DevOps. Chances are that you have heard some or all of these words being passed around at your daily stand ups or company meetings.
However, where does QA and testing fit into the story of DevOps? Some would say that developers and operations teams are all you need for a successful DevOps pipeline, while others show that Dev, Test and Ops need to be included to ensure quality at every step in your pipeline.
In this webinar, Ryan Yackel, QASymphony's Director of Product Marketing, and Sunil Sehgal, Managing Partner at TechArcis, will share their experiences as they navigate you through the DevTestOps waters. In this webinar you will learn:
Overview of the State of DevOps
Common misconceptions of DevOps and QA

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSage
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 Endpoints
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.
SOCRadar Research Team: Latest Activities of IntelBroker
The European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol) has suffered an alleged data breach after a notorious threat actor claimed to have exfiltrated data from its systems. Infamous data leaker IntelBroker posted on the even more infamous BreachForums hacking forum, saying that Europol suffered a data breach this month.
The alleged breach affected Europol agencies CCSE, EC3, Europol Platform for Experts, Law Enforcement Forum, and SIRIUS. Infiltration of these entities can disrupt ongoing investigations and compromise sensitive intelligence shared among international law enforcement agencies.
However, this is neither the first nor the last activity of IntekBroker. We have compiled for you what happened in the last few days. To track such hacker activities on dark web sources like hacker forums, private Telegram channels, and other hidden platforms where cyber threats often originate, you can check SOCRadar’s Dark Web News.

JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.
Globus Compute wth IRI Workflows - GlobusWorld 2024
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.
