Maintaining Quality in Open Source Projects by Meaghan LewisSauce Labs
With software testing, it’s a good idea to keep the end user in mind, but with open source software this is absolutely necessary. Open source projects largely rely on community engagements and involvement. Whether that be asking questions, reporting issues, or submitting pull requests.
Testing an open source project must account for working with the community in these ways. There must be processes in place to support community members in their efforts to contribute and to leverage the feedback they provide in order to impact the product’s quality positively.
In this SauceCon 2018 session, Meaghan will share strategies to maintain high quality in open source projects. She will draw on her experience testing open source projects at GitHub and discuss the ways collaborating with the community has allowed her to test more creatively while keeping the users in mind.

Onboarding in Open Source Software Projects: A Preliminary AnalysisJürgen Münch
Nowadays, many software projects are partially or completely open-source based. There is an increasing need for companies to participate in open-source software (OSS) projects, e.g., in order to benefit from open source ecosystems. OSS projects introduce particular challenges that have to be understood in order to gain the benefits. One such challenge is getting newcom- ers onboard into the projects effectively. Similar challenges may be present in other self-organised, virtual team environments. In this paper we present preliminary observations and results of in-progress research that studies the process of onboarding into virtual OSS teams. The study is based on a program created and conceived at Stanford University in conjunction with Facebook’s Education Modernization program. It involves the collaboration of more than a dozen international universities and nine open source projects. More than 120 students participated in 2013. The students have been introduced to and supported by mentors experienced in the participating OSS projects. Our findings indicate that mentoring is an important factor for effective onboarding in OSS projects, promoting cohesion within distributed teams and maintaining an appropriate pace.
Integrating User Centered Design with Agile DevelopmentJulia Borkenhagen
The Agile Manifesto emphasizes the importance of individuals and interactions over processes and tools, and that's precisely where the User Centered Design approach comes in. UCD always focuses on the users first, keeps them involved during the entire project and emphasizes the need for iterations and team collaboration.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Fosdem 2016 - Community Driven Testing
1. Community Driven Testing: Lessons
learned from the BuddyUp Pilot project
Marcia Knous and Ioana Chiorean
2. What is BuddyUp?
● Single support entry point for users -
integrates support offered on
hardware, software or service issues
● Web app that enables on-device
notifications for an instant answer to
any question you have
A Firefox OS support app
4. Why BuddyUp?
● An opportunity to try something new!
● No dedicated QA resources available for the project
● App was planned to ship by default on the Firefox OS 2.5 release
The Mozilla mission in action: human collaboration across an open platform
5. Pilot Project Objectives
● Teach contributors skills that would span the mobile testing landscape
● Give contributors a sense of what is like to be part of a QA testing team
● Make it easy for any FxOS user interested to help to become and feel
part of a larger community of helpers
● Develop community mentors
6. Who participated?
● Two mentors - Marcia Knous
and Ioana Chiorean
● Three community members
○ Christos
○ Fredy
○ Karthikeyan
● First team meeting held in
Mozilla Paris space in February,
2015 (Developers, Project
Management, UX)
Ioana, Karth and Fredy discussing the project
8. How we structured testing
● App divided into three parts
○ Testing as someone asking a question
○ Testing as someone answering a question
○ Profile and Settings
● Owners created a short test plan and test cases for each area
9. How we structured testing
● Periodic smoketests run to catch regressions
● Community dialed into project meetings and reported status
10. How did they benefit?
● Gained knowledge in mobile testing, which can help them get a job
● Gained knowledge of how to approach testing an app from a project
perspective
● Worked equally with the staff, as an important member of the team -
they attended team meetings, sent reports, smoketested
12. Challenges and Lessons
● Time zone challenges
● Time based requests are difficult
● Lead Developer left for some time, and the project lost momentum
● Resource balancing
● No automation infrastructure meant lots of repetitive manual testing
13. Going further
● Created two tiger teams for Firefox OS features (Pin the Web/Control
Center)
● Provided better documentation that can be applied to other projects as
well
● Realized that in-person training is way more efficient than online
meetings so we will try to duplicate this
How BuddyUp experience can help us more
