This talk suggests how we might make sense of the tools landscape of the near future, where the pressure to modernise processes and automate is greatest, and what a new test process supported by tools might look like.
Takeaways:
- We need to take machine learning in testing seriously, but it won’t be taking our jobs just yet
- We don’t need more test automation tools; today we need tools that capture tester knowledge
- Tools that that learn and think can’t work for testers until we solve the knowledge capture challenge.

Typical software testers focus on learning ‘Hard’ skills associated with the responsibilities of their role. However, these skills allow them to become a "Dependable" or "Knowledgeable" tester, rather than a "Great" tester. What are the skills necessary to take you to the next level within your ladder of testing career, to become someone known as "Great" tester? This presentation will identify some of the key skills that can take you to the next level and provides an easy-to-follow roadmap on mastering those skills.

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.
A Rapid Introduction to Rapid Software TestingTechWell
You're under tight time pressure and have barely enough information to proceed with testing. How do you test quickly and inexpensively, yet still produce informative, credible, and accountable results? Rapid Software Testing, adopted by context-driven testers worldwide, offers a field-proven answer to this all-too-common dilemma. In this one-day sampler of the approach, Michael Bolton introduces you to the skills and practice of Rapid Software Testing through stories, discussions, and "minds-on" exercises that simulate important aspects of real testing problems. The rapid approach isn't just testing with speed or a sense of urgency; it's mission-focused testing that eliminates unnecessary work, assures that the most important things get done, and constantly asks how testers can help speed up the successful completion of the project. Join Michael to see how rapid testing focuses on both the mind set and skill set of the individual tester who uses tight loops of exploration and critical thinking skills to help continuously re-optimize testing to match clients' needs and expectations.
This talk was given at Eurostar 2013 in Gothenburg, Sweden.
“Significant forces in the IT industry that mean testing in most organisations is under extreme pressure. Bosses wonder why they need people ‘over here’ to make sure people ‘over there’ do their job properly. Users, analysts, developers and testers may have to redistribute responsibility for testing and checking and by collaborating more effectively.
Testers won’t drive this transition, and they may be caught out if they ignore the winds of change. There's complacency, self-delusion and over capacity in the testing business; there is too little agreement about what testing is, what it’s for or how it should be done. In this talk, Paul will suggest what leadership is required in our industry, the market and our organisations.
Of course, some responsibility will fall on your shoulders. Whether you are a manager or technical specialist, there will be an opportunity for you to lead the change.”

'Customer Testing & Quality In Outsourced Development - A Story From An Insur...TEST Huddle
The insurance company made the decision to outsource most of its IT development and technical maintenance to suppliers. This demanded new requirements to testing and quality ensuring in the company and raised a lot of questions:
- How do we ensure that suppliers perform a test which provides a solution that is not filled with
defects?
- What are the responsibilities for the test activities between supplier and customer?
- How do we ensure effective testing without delays due to misunderstandings between supplier and
tester?
- What are the test criteria to the supplier and how should they report these?
- How do we ensure that test material used by one supplier for development can be re-used by another
supplier for maintenance testing in future?
- How is defect handling, test reporting etc. best done between supplier and customer?
From this, the company created a new test model and test policy which includes setting test- and quality requirements for the supplier. The model has a defined test contract appendix which sets the requirements for the suppliers. These include that suppliers in future should use the company’s own templates and must uphold the company’s test policy. This was done to ensure that all suppliers were following the same guidelines, as many projects had more than one supplier as part of application- and technical developments. The model has a high focus on test quality ensuring, test reporting and approval in each test phase, according to the defined acceptance criteria.
In-house, the company had a focus on communicating and educating anyone working as testers within acceptance tests, or who worked as test managers. This was to ensure that they were adequately trained to perform test activity of high quality, had the competencies to ensure test quality from suppliers and to ensure that delivery by suppliers was as required.During implementation of the new model there was a specific focus on communication with, and
approval by, management to ensure success.

Keys to continuous testing for faster delivery euro star webinar TEST Huddle
Your business needs to deliver faster. To accommodate, Development needs to introduce fewer changes but in a much more frequent cadence. This creates a challenge for test teams to keep up with the rapid pace of change without compromising on quality. Automation is paramount to the success or failure of Continuous Delivery, and Continuous Testing enables early and frequent quality feedback throughout the CI/CD pipeline.
In this webinar, Eran & Ayal will explore how to implement Continuous Testing to ensure high quality releases in a Continuous Delivery environment; including what to test and when to automate new functionality in order to optimize your efforts.
In this webinar Carsten will explore the role of the tester in a Scrum team. He will examine where the tester play an important role in Scrum and how you can contribute to a teams performance.

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.

It’s the same argument again and again. One side says “team members should all be able to do everything, and the programmers should do their testing and all testers should be writing code”. The other side says “No, that can’t possibly work – programmers don’t know how to test, they don’t have the right mindset”. And on and on it goes.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

Following this, we will introduce the vLLM tool, and explain how it integrates with Globus Compute to efficiently manage LLM operations on Polaris. Attendees will learn the practical aspects of setting up and remotely triggering LLMs from local machines, focusing on ease of use and efficiency. This talk is ideal for researchers and practitioners looking to leverage the power of LLMs in their work, offering a clear guide to harnessing supercomputing resources for quick and effective LLM inference.
SOCRadar Research Team: Latest Activities of IntelBrokerSOCRadar
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.

Developing Distributed High-performance Computing Capabilities of an Open Sci...Globus
COVID-19 had an unprecedented impact on scientific collaboration. The pandemic and its broad response from the scientific community has forged new relationships among public health practitioners, mathematical modelers, and scientific computing specialists, while revealing critical gaps in exploiting advanced computing systems to support urgent decision making. Informed by our team’s work in applying high-performance computing in support of public health decision makers during the COVID-19 pandemic, we present how Globus technologies are enabling the development of an open science platform for robust epidemic analysis, with the goal of collaborative, secure, distributed, on-demand, and fast time-to-solution analyses to support public health.
Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
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.

Software Testing - a User's Guide
Getting better results by improved understanding
about each other and the big picture

Background
• I have worked long time in software development, especially in
telecom industry
• Consulting for software processes and quality assurance
• Problem solving and coaching for testing improvement
• Many process assessments (CMM & TPI)
• Learned many ways a project can fail
• Training for several customers and both internal and public
courses
• Met huge amount of people in the industry & learned about their
concerns
• Started FAST (Finnish Association for Software Testing),
EuroSTAR 2004 programme chair, 1st
ISTQB vice president,
“Tester of the year 2008” in Finland
3. 3
Typical testing issues in the projects, collected from several
assessments and discussions
• Lots of changes in project
scope
• Lack of customer and
management interest or co-
operation
• Testing reports irrelevant to
project
• Testing not appreciated
• Development late, squeezing
the testing schedule
• …
• How about your own?

4. 4
A real mismatch exists between the management needs
and the existing testing culture
• Assumed and real testing paradigm
• Rubber stamping
• Testing as a one-shot activity
• Not discussion about "goodness of testing"
• Typical assumption is that SW is almost perfect
• Testing is needed because of the process or whiny customers
• Testing is responsible for quality
• No real commitment for quality in the development
• Testing typically feels underwhelmed by the lack of interest for
quality
• A common mistake of testing is to hijack concern for quality in
the organisation
5. 5
Symptoms of culture mismatch
or lack of open communication
• Illusion of control
• Managing by metrics
• Managing via writing plans
• Low availability of big picture
• Project objectives, constraints and focus unclear or conflicting
• Should be known to all project
• Coordination of quality assurance activities
• Role of requirements
• Illusion of correct requirements
• "By the book" ?
• “Requirements are just guidelines, ask for details" ?
• Is information about changes available to all relevant parties during
all stages of project and all stages of a change life-cycle
6. 6
Coaching
• This model is used in both personal and organisational coaching
• Source: Tim Gallwey, Tennis coach 1970
• Wondered:
• Why does tennis take so long time to learn?
• Why do athletes seldom perform up to their potential?
• Found out about two games taking place simultaneously
• Outer game
• The behaviour you can see on the field
• Inner game
• The game you play in your mind
• Lots of artificial constraints, limiting beliefs
• Persons with great potential had big problems to perform
according to their level of competence
• Similar rules apply to people organisations and projects
7. 7
Model of potential and performance
• Inner potential
• Inherent constraint to possible
performance right now
• Inner game
• Interferences
• Internal resistance
• Limiting beliefs
• These all are limiting the
performance
• Outer game
• Less than the potential
• Similar model works for both
individuals and organisations

8. 8
Getting more from testing is possible after identifying
the need and options
• Know what you need and then ask how it could be possible
• There exist several methods and organizing models for testing to choose from
• Ask for a rubber stamp and you will get it
• Understand the context and needs of the project
• Rex Black in his book "Critical testing processes“ had "Plan", the first group of
testing processes cover these processes:
• Understand the operational (system, project, and process) and the
organizational context of the testing to be performed
• Define and prioritize the risks to system quality, and obtain stakeholder
consensus on the extent of testing to mitigate these risks
• Estimate and obtain management support for time, resources, and budget
required to perform the testing agreed upon
• Develop a plan for the actions, participants, and dependencies required to
perform the testing, and obtain stakeholder support for this plan
• Very similar is in the start of the planning life-cycle of the TMap model
9. 9
There exist several options of more productive testing
paradigm and improved communication
• Growing together
• Organisational visibility to the status of the organisational project
machinery
• Openness and reality check
• Organisational learning
• Several models of learning organisation exist
• All are based on good and honest communication
• Solution orientation instead of problems
• Do SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis
• Be aware of the weaknesses, but focus on the strengths
• Weaknesses stick (look trends in past lessons learned!)
• Focus on weaknesses can bring you to basic level
• Focus on strengths and opportunities will help organisation to reach
their potential, even excellence
10. 10
From problems to solutions
• Problem-focused thinking easily leads to blaming or wading in
the problem
• Causing inward cycle
• Solution-focused thinking helps to be creative and free the
person and team from the failures in the history
• Outward move
• Not a quick-fix thing!
• You can not coach a person who thinks that someone else has to
change first
• The culture of blame, the "X factor"
• Should ask: even if we have this X, what can we do?
• "Be proactive" is the 1st habit of 7 habits & 1st step in 12-step
programs is to admit that "I have a problem"
