The Three Pillars Approach to Your Agile Test Strategy Brian Estep
First of all, I’ve seen way too many teams who are just “testing” in agile teams without a map or a plan for improvement. I’ve also seen that Agile Adoption is mostly a developer-centric or technology-centric play. They “drive” and testing is “along for the ride”. Seatbelts please! And where’s the focus on “Quality”? And the how or practices & tactics?
This presentation provides an overview of the SpiraTest requirements, test case, and defect tracking system from Inflectra. Learn how to use SpiraTest to manage your tests, requirements, defects, bugs, and issues in one integrated system with end to end traceability .
Back-end testing is an unfamiliar testing area to many testers, especially when the Back-end adopts web services technologies and has gigabytes of data need to be verified. The presentation will outlines numbers of testing activities that need to be done to deal with challenges.
Services/Domain Testing Introduction:
We have been providing automation test service for Back-end system which has web services, web application technologies and meta-data processing. The domain we has worked on is about Communication Media and Entertainment.
Challenges:
Complex business logic inside layer of data storage and processing to provide services. Different platforms under test.
Defragmented testing result so it is difficult to make decision.
Must align testing with development life cycle.
Solutions:
Apply automation testing to Continuous Integration.
Design automation test framework to deal with Shell, Web Service, Web Application, gigabytes of XML Data on Windows and Linux.
Select proper technology stack to centralize the testing result from both manual and automation teams.
Jenkins is continuous integration and continuous delivery application, as start point, run its job to build source code from development team. When unit testing for source code is passed, automated system test written by LISA is launched as flow controller for automation test framework.
The LISA’s core functionalities are to verify middleware layer, web services based on SOAP/RESTful and database. Extending LISA’ capabilities are also applied in practice to test different technologies under test such as web application by integrating with Selenium, Shell Script by JCraft and processing big data file by Xstream/JAXB.
This presentation provides an overview of the KronoDesk customer support system from Inflectra. It provides information on the features, differentiators, and information on how KronoDesk lets you integrate customer support and feedback into your DevOps pipeline and software delivery process.
This document summarizes an Agile Test Automation session which covered:
- The agenda included an introduction to Agile testing process and tools, a demonstration, and Q&A
- Agile values like communication and feedback affect testing by making the whole team responsible for quality using test-driven development and continuous integration
- Test automation tools discussed included test harnesses like JUnit and Selenium, as well as functional testing tools like Cucumber and Concordion
Testers should focus on quality criteria beyond just functionality, write clear bug reports with details and attachments, and respect programmers and their skills. Testers and programmers should collaborate through techniques like heuristics and limitations discussions, asking about code purpose, and finding similar code examples. Building a strong relationship involves serving programmers needs, understanding their schedules, and working together as mentors.
The document discusses advanced test management techniques in Spira for data-driven testing, including:
1) Defining test case parameters at multiple levels and for individual test cases to separate test data from test steps.
2) Using test sets along with parameters to execute test cases with different parameter data either set-wide or case-specific.
3) Leveraging test configurations, custom lists and values, and associations with test sets to automatically execute many test runs by varying test data across different browsers, operating systems, and other variables.
This document discusses agile test automation and addresses whether it is an essential truth, oxymoron, or lie. It notes that agile emphasizes parallel teamwork between development, testing, and business. While test automation may initially require extensive ramp-up time and skills acquisition, building a library of automated scripts and using programmatic test tools can help achieve faster feedback, consistency, and avoid technical debt. The document advocates automating tests in parallel with development in each sprint to allow for easy, flexible regression testing. It argues that with an evolving approach to automation and a focus on reusing test data, process knowledge, and results, agile test automation can be an essential part of the agile process.

CP-MAT is the surest way to learn practical agile testing. One of the programs with the highest satisfaction as is evident by some of the feedback shared.
Exploratory testing is an approach to software testing that involves simultaneous learning, test design, and test execution. It is unscripted and tests are designed in parallel to testing through session notes. Exploratory testing was coined by Cem Kaner in 1983 and involves disciplined, structured testing performed parallel to test execution including learning about the system under test. Session-based test management is used to manage exploratory testing by dividing testing into timed sessions with session logs documenting what was tested, how, and when including session notes, bugs found, and other details. Debriefing allows sharing findings and learning between testers to acquire domain knowledge faster through collaboration.

The document discusses software testing throughout the software development life cycle. It covers key topics like software development life cycle models, test levels, test types, and maintenance testing. Test levels include component testing, integration testing, and system testing. Software development life cycle models can be sequential, iterative, or incremental. The document provides details on various models like waterfall, V-model, spiral, agile development, etc. It also discusses test planning, test design techniques, integration strategies like big bang, top-down and bottom-up integration.
1. Test Driven Development (TDD) is an agile software development process that involves writing unit tests before developing code. It follows a cycle of writing a failing test, implementing code to pass the test, and refactoring code.
2. TDD can result in lower defect rates and improved code quality through refactoring, though empirical evidence is limited. Common mistakes include forgetting to run tests frequently or writing tests that are too broad.
3. Unit tests should be easy to write and read, reliable, fast, and test individual units of code rather than integrated systems to avoid external dependencies slowing down tests.
Exploratory Testing: Make It Part of Your Test StrategyTechWell
Developers often have the unfortunate distinction of not thoroughly testing their code. It’s not that developers do not understand how to test well; it’s just that often they have not had an opportunity to understand how the product works. Kevin Dunne maintains that implementing a team-wide exploratory testing initiative can help build the collaboration and knowledge sharing needed to elevate all team members to the level of product master. Exploratory testing can be performed by anyone, but the real challenge is making sure that the process is properly managed, documented, and optimized. Kevin describes the tools necessary to drive a deeper understanding of software quality and to implement an effective and impactful exploratory testing practice. Creating better software is not just about writing code more accurately and efficiently; it is about delivering value to the end user. Well-executed exploratory testing helps unlock this capability across the entire development team.
The document discusses test automation and provides guidance for those new to the concept. It explains that test automation involves using software to execute test scripts and compare results. The story of "Buggy the Tester" illustrates how automated testing can run tests continuously on many machines simultaneously. The document then provides advice in 5 areas: seeing test automation as software development; viewing it as a long-term investment; assessing available resources; understanding a one-size approach may not work; and gauging an organization's maturity levels. It stresses that test automation requires planning, coding standards, documentation, and treating it as an ongoing software product.
1. The first step in performance testing is to capture non-functional requirements from stakeholders to define test scope, targets, resources, and deliverables.
2. The second step is to build a test environment that closely approximates production, including necessary load injection capacity and monitoring.
3. The third step is to script use cases, identifying session data, input requirements, and checkpoints for each use case.
4. The fourth step is to build test scenarios defining test type, users, load profiles, and monitoring for each performance test.
5. The fifth step is to execute the performance tests, running dress rehearsals and different test types in a cycle of execution and problem resolution.
The document discusses different methods for evaluating interactive systems, including both a priori and experimental evaluations. A priori evaluations include heuristic evaluations, where experts review systems according to usability guidelines, and predictive models like Fitts' law. Experimental evaluations involve usability testing with users, and can be done in laboratories or field studies. Both objective metrics and subjective user feedback are important in evaluation.
This document provides information on test management based on the ISTQB (International Software Testing Qualifications Board) syllabus. It discusses the importance of independent testing, test planning, estimation strategies, test progress monitoring, configuration management, risk management, and reporting test status. Key aspects covered include organizing independent versus integrated test teams, factors to consider in test planning, estimation techniques, test strategies, and test leader and tester roles and responsibilities.
The document discusses the importance of documenting the software testing process. It outlines that the testing process should be reported on to communicate test results, compare results to design specifications, and highlight problems. The documentation of the testing process should include test requirements, a test plan, test data and expected results, actual test results, and recommendations. Communication is also important and should occur between developers and clients as well as testers and developers. CASE tools can help automate parts of the testing process and generate test data.
Pairing: The Secret Sauce of Agile TestingTechWell
Finding time to learn test techniques, mentor other testers, grow application knowledge, and cross-train your team members is a daunting task with a complicated recipe. What if you could do these things while testing and finding bugs? Enter Pair Testing. What’s that? Well, maybe you’ve heard of pair programming. It’s like that—only you’re testing rather than programming. And it’s the secret sauce of agile testing because it makes your routine, bland testing so much more fun! Testers on Jess Lancaster’s team use pair testing not only to make better software but also to foster better relationships along the way. Jess explores why pairing works, how to run an effective pairing session, and just how easy it is to get started with pairing. Armed with Jess’ easy-to-use Pair Testing recipe card, plan your first pairing encounter so you are ready to roll when you get back to the office. This sounds easy enough, but you know there will be mistakes when you try it. Jess has you covered there, too. Learn his team’s pairing mistakes and the things he did to improve their pairing sessions.
The document provides an overview of the ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level certification. It discusses the ISTQB organization and its global network of national testing boards. The benefits of ISTQB certification are presented, including becoming an internationally recognized qualification for testing professionals. The six modules that make up the Foundation Level certification are introduced.
The Importance of Performance Testing Theory and Practice - QueBIT Consulting...QueBIT Consulting
Why is good testing so hard to do? Not Enough Time. Not Enough Testers. Inconsistent or Incomplete Test Scripts. Lack of Performance Metrics. Difficult to Summarize Results
This document discusses software test documentation standards and processes. It describes the IEEE 829 standard for software test documentation, which includes a test planning and control process involving test plans, analysis and design involving test cases and procedures, implementation and execution involving bug reports and test procedures, and evaluation and reporting involving status reports and test logs. It provides details on various test documentation artifacts like test plans, test designs, test cases, test procedures, and reports. It explains the purpose, structure, and contents of each artifact to provide documentation at different stages of the testing process.
The document summarizes key principles of software testing including:
1. Testing is necessary because software will contain faults due to human errors, and failures can be costly.
2. Exhaustive testing of all possible test cases is impractical. Risk-based prioritization is used to test the most important cases first.
3. The test process includes planning, specification, execution, recording results and checking completion criteria. Effective test cases are prioritized to efficiently find faults.
The document discusses software testing fundamentals including what testing is, why it's important, the testing lifecycle, principles, and process. It explains that testing verifies requirements are implemented correctly, finds defects before deployment, and improves quality and reliability. Various testing techniques are covered like unit, integration, system, manual and automation testing along with popular testing tools like Mercury WinRunner, TestDirector, and LoadRunner.

When it is all about ERP solutions, companies typically meet their needs with common ERP solutions like SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics. These big players have demonstrated that ERP systems can be either simple or highly comprehensive. This remains true today, but there are new factors to consider, including a promising new contender in the market that’s Odoo. This blog compares Odoo ERP with traditional ERP systems and explains why many companies now see Odoo ERP as the best choice.
What are ERP Systems?
An ERP, or Enterprise Resource Planning, system provides your company with valuable information to help you make better decisions and boost your ROI. You should choose an ERP system based on your company’s specific needs. For instance, if you run a manufacturing or retail business, you will need an ERP system that efficiently manages inventory. A consulting firm, on the other hand, would benefit from an ERP system that enhances daily operations. Similarly, eCommerce stores would select an ERP system tailored to their needs.
Because different businesses have different requirements, ERP system functionalities can vary. Among the various ERP systems available, Odoo ERP is considered one of the best in the ERp market with more than 12 million global users today.
Odoo is an open-source ERP system initially designed for small to medium-sized businesses but now suitable for a wide range of companies. Odoo offers a scalable and configurable point-of-sale management solution and allows you to create customised modules for specific industries. Odoo is gaining more popularity because it is built in a way that allows easy customisation, has a user-friendly interface, and is affordable. Here, you will cover the main differences and get to know why Odoo is gaining attention despite the many other ERP systems available in the market.
Hand Rolled Applicative User ValidationCode KataPhilip Schwarz
Could you use a simple piece of Scala validation code (granted, a very simplistic one too!) that you can rewrite, now and again, to refresh your basic understanding of Applicative operators <*>, <*, *>?
The goal is not to write perfect code showcasing validation, but rather, to provide a small, rough-and ready exercise to reinforce your muscle-memory.
Despite its grandiose-sounding title, this deck consists of just three slides showing the Scala 3 code to be rewritten whenever the details of the operators begin to fade away.
The code is my rough and ready translation of a Haskell user-validation program found in a book called Finding Success (and Failure) in Haskell - Fall in love with applicative functors.

Fundamentally different to other testing – about
feel and coordination, not managing a suite of
regression tests
Develop aims

Communicate
with
developers
Get feedback
to inform

2. Where exploratory testing tools
can help
• Quick creation of testsDevelop aims / charter
• Help record activity [eg screen recorder]Manage a session
• Quick and flexible editing of testsLog steps of tester
• filter things down to the main findings [eg video
editing]Record application response
• Actively alert the right people to review or take
action [often not as formal as bug reports]Communicate with developers
• Help the tester track and follow-up on actionsGet feedback to inform future
testing
3. Where can Spira 5.3 help
• New exploratory test case typeDevelop aims / charter
• Dedicated exploratory testing experience for
execution of a single exploratory test caseManage a session
• On-the-fly editing (inc adding/removing test
steps)Log steps of tester
• Rich-text editing and great screenshot captureRecord application response
• A simple way to log multiple discoveries from a
single test stepCommunicate with developers
• Help the tester track the latest on their
different discoveries
Get feedback to inform future
testing
4. Potential areas for future
development
• Change internal nomenclature to reflect
exploratory testing terminologyDevelop aims / charter
• Running an exploratory test set (an exploratory
test case within a test set could be available
for regression testing in 5.3)
Manage a session
• Integrate with tools like mind-maps for capturing
a testing sessionLog steps of tester
• Record additional activity during testing (beyond
screenshots)Record application response
• Further integrations with internal IMCommunicate with developers
