The document discusses moving from a "gatekeeper" model of testing, where testing is done separately after development, to a "partner" model where testing is integrated into development and shared responsibility of the team. It provides tips for making this transition, such as fixing problems developers experience with testing, integrating testing into development workflows, and helping testers contribute to other parts of development to become true partners. The overall message is that testing is most effective when it is easy to do and an inherent part of the development process done collaboratively by the entire team.

Context-Driven Testing (CDT) rejects the notion of generalized “best practices” that apply to all projects, and instead accepts that different practices work best under different circumstances. The third principle of the seven defined in CDT states that people are the most important part of any project’s context. Less of a focus on processes and tools, with more emphasis on people and their collaboration empowers testers with the freedom to make choices about how best to do their job without following a restrictive plan.
In joining the game of workshop and some theory sharing in slides, you will a better understanding of Context-Driven Testing practices, principles and its benefits as well as know how is a nice Marriage of Agile and Context-Driven Testing.
You want to integrate skilled testing and development work. But how do you accomplish this without developers accidentally subverting the testing process or testers becoming an obstruction? Efficient, deep testing requires “critical distance” from the development process, commitment and planning to build a testable product, dedication to uncovering the truth, responsiveness among team members, and often a skill set that developers alone—or testers alone—do not ordinarily possess. James Bach presents a model—a redesign of the famous Agile Testing Quadrants that distinguished between business vs. technical facing tests and supporting vs. critiquing―that frames these dynamics and helps teams think through the nature of development and testing roles and how they might blend, conflict, or support each other on an Agile project. James includes a brief discussion of the original Agile Testing Quadrants model, which the presenters believe has created much confusion about the role of testing in Agile.

I believe that our existing models of testing are not fit for purpose – they are inconsistent, controversial, partial, proprietary and stuck in the past. They are not going to support us in the rapidly emerging technologies and approaches. The certification schemes that should represent the interests and integrity of our profession don’t, and we are left with schemes that are popular, but have low value, lower esteem and attract harsh criticism. My goal in proposing the New Model is to stimulate new thinking in this area.

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.

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.
Acceptance Testing for Continuous Delivery by Dave Farley at #AgileIndia2019Agile India
Writing and maintaining a suite of acceptance tests that can give you a high level of confidence in the behaviour and configuration of your system is a complex task. In this session, Dave will describe approaches to acceptance testing that allow teams to:
work quickly and effectively
build excellent functional coverage for complex enterprise-scale systems
manage and maintain those tests in the face of change, and of evolution in both the codebase and the understanding of the business problem.
This workshop will answer the following questions, and more:
How do you fail fast?
How do you make your testing scalable?
How do you isolate test cases from one-another?
How do you maintain a working body of tests when you radically change the interface to your system?

Looking to move to Continuous Delivery? Worried about the quality of your the code? Helping your developers understand clean-code practices and getting the right testing strategy in place can take a while. What should you do to control the quality of the incoming code till then? This talk shares our experience of using PRRiskAdvisor to gradually educate and influence developers to write better code and also help the code reviewer to be more effective at their reviews.
Every time a developer raises a pull-request, PRRiskAdvisor analyzes the files that were changed and publishes a report on the pull request itself with the overall risk associated with this pull request and also risk associated with each file. It also runs static code analysis using SonarQube and publishes the configured violations as comments on the pull request. This way the reviewer just has to look at the pull request to get a decent idea of what it means to review this pull request. If there are too many violations, then PRRiskAdvisor can also automatically reject the pull request.
By doing this, we saw our developers starting paying more attention to clean code practices and hence the overall quality of the incoming code improved, while we worked on putting the right engineering practices and testing strategy in place.

Test Estimation Hacks: Tips, Tricks and Tools WebinarQASymphony
In this webinar, Matt Heusser explains how not only how to deal with tough questions, but how to prepare and defend estimates that stand up to scrutiny. The conversation includes six estimating models - comparison, functional decomposition, timeboxed, and prediction, along the Guru Method and, perhaps, a little on #NoEstimates.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn:
Learn the common mistakes in software test estimation
How Testing is different than linear tasks like development (and how to talk about it)
Learn what goes wrong in discussions about schedule
An explanation of ways to estimate for test - by comparison, functional decomposition, timeboxing, prediction and the guru method
How to recognize when you are actually in test negotiation, not test estimation...and what to do about it

My presentation in Agile4U (Agile for University) program of HanoiScrum in 2013.
This presentation may have some customised content for University of Science and Technology of Ha Noi.
Let's explore what is agile testing, how agile testing is different than traditional testing. What practices team has to adopt to have parallel testing and how to create your own test automation framework. Test automation frameworks using cucumber, selenium, junit, nunit, rspec, coded UI etc.
like Google, Improve your Test perception & practices and learn how Test might be a key lever to improve your business.
- Understand the different types of Test
- Best & Worst practices of Test
Agile Testing examines software from the customer point of view, and requires that the entire team tests the product to deliver value.
According to James Bach, testing is the questioning of a product in order to evaluate it.
Agile Testing takes the fundamentals of software testing, and provides options for testing products delivered in Agile workflows. It focuses on early involvement of testers, defect prevention, quick feedback loops, test automation, and exploratory testing.
This presentation will start with selected ideas from Agile Testing, and
More Agile Testing, then Dag Rowe will tie in ideas from other practices and practitioners, notably BDD and Specification by Example

In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.
Globus Compute wth IRI Workflows - GlobusWorld 2024Globus
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.

Advanced Flow Concepts Every Developer Should KnowPeter Caitens
Tim Combridge from Sensible Giraffe and Salesforce Ben presents some important tips that all developers should know when dealing with Flows in Salesforce.
Enhancing Research Orchestration Capabilities at ORNL.pdfGlobus
Cross-facility research orchestration comes with ever-changing constraints regarding the availability and suitability of various compute and data resources. In short, a flexible data and processing fabric is needed to enable the dynamic redirection of data and compute tasks throughout the lifecycle of an experiment. In this talk, we illustrate how we easily leveraged Globus services to instrument the ACE research testbed at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility with flexible data and task orchestration capabilities.
Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
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?

2. THE OBLIGATORY ABOUT ME
● Been in testing for 8 years I guess
● Sogeti
Safelite
Chemical Abstract Services
● Cohesion
Grange
● CoverMyMeds
● Currently working in Elixir
Come talk to me about it!
● Finished my MBA
3. THE TWO MODELS OF TESTING
● Gatekeeper
Throw it over the wall
● Partner
Shared responsibility
7. THROW IT OVER THE WALL
● Slow
Lot of back and forth
Loss of context
● Stressful
Work piles up
Pre-release testing/bug fix marathons
Bugs may not get fixed before a release
● Antagonistic
QA vs. Devs
8. SHARED RESPONSIBILITY
● Everyone on the team owns testing
Testing is part of development
● Fast turnaround
No big pre-release push for testing
● Fewer bugs go to production
Bugs are addressed before the work is done
● Better team dynamic
QA is a resource instead of a blocker
9. THAT SOUNDS GREAT!
● Find out what hurts
Identify problems the devs are having with testing and
fix them
● Integrate testing into the development workflow
Make it easy to do testing
● Learn and contribute to all work
Actually be a partner to the team
11. SO I’M NEW TO THIS TEAM
● They were trying to test something
● It took hours
● It took specialized knowledge
● It took custom setup that was only useful once
● The problem wasn’t the desire to test - it was the
ability
So I built a thing to fix it.
12. FIX WHAT HURTS
● Find a problem that the team is experiencing RIGHT
NOW with testing.
● Fix it.
● It’s great to talk about the benefits of testing…
● But what people really notice is something that fixes
their problems right now.
● Creates buy-in.
13. FIX WHAT HURTS
● Identify
Listen to what the complaints are
Ask
Shadow
See where the delays are
You may identify many problems - pick the biggest
● Solve
This may involve building something
It will be very situational
Remember: you are not a test monkey
If you leave, does the problem come back?
Keep it simple and easy to maintain - we are removing work, not
adding
Devs and testing should use a common language
Use simple concepts
14. FIX WHAT HURTS
● Implement
Advocate
What, how, time, gains
“this will fix problem X”
Design
Include the team
Get them invested into it
Use their expertise
Prioritize
Don’t go off into a hole and do test things
Build
Everyone should know how this works
15. WE’VE NOW ESTABLISHED...
● Testing can make our lives easier
● You can solve their problems
● Credibility for you and testing
17. LET’S ESTABLISH SOMETHING...
● Developers don’t actually hate testing.
Being the person that broke something feels terrible.
We’ve all experienced broken code.
18. SO I BUILT THIS APP
It’s cool.
I didn’t write unit tests.
I only tested the happiest of happy paths.
Then I gave it to my friends to look at.
19. SO I BUILT THIS APP
It’s saying “500
Internal Server Error”.
What did you do?
I clicked the button.
Oh, you can click on
things?
I need the URL again.
20. LET’S ESTABLISH SOMETHING...
● Developers don’t actually hate testing.
Being the person that broke something feels terrible.
We’ve all experienced broken code.
● So why do people not test?
It’s hard
Badly designed
Not maintained
● Basically, testing is about as much fun as running
21. TESTING IS LIKE RUNNING
This is great!
I got so much benefit out of this!
Let’s keep doing it!
This is stupid.
I hate this.
I never want to do it again.
22. OUR BASELINE IS:
● Developers know testing helps them
● Developers would like to do testing
● Sometimes things get in the way of that
Our goal is: make testing part of the development
process
24. INCLUDE TESTING
● Don’t have separate workflows
It’s confusing
It doesn’t work
Backlog In Progress Test Done
Card 1 Card 2
25. INCLUDE TESTING

28. INCLUDE TESTING
● Don’t have separate workflows
It’s confusing
It doesn’t work
● Put tests on cards
Work isn’t done until testing is done
30. MAKE TESTING EASY
● Testing processes should integrate into current
workflows with minimal extra work
No one likes extra effort
● Automate
Shuffle as much as possible into unit tests
34. MAKE TESTING EASY
● Testing processes should integrate into current
workflows with minimal extra work
No one likes extra effort
● Automate
Shuffle as much as possible into unit tests
● Keep processes down to the important stuff - get rid
of the junk
Testing has a purpose - help us deliver code
If it doesn’t benefit that purpose, don’t do it
35. COMMON PROBLEMS
● Hard to work with
Working on convoluted test systems is a situation
nobody wants to be in.
The fix: make your systems easy to work with and fix
bad code
● Test suites don’t work
The fix: stay up on maintenance
Re-evaluate or re-do flakey tests
● Too much complexity
Don’t use tools that don’t add value
We jettisoned Cucumber and Capybara
● All of this is stuff that makes developers not want to
36. THAT WAS A LOT OF STUFF ALL ROLLED
IN TOGETHER
● Don’t segregate testing
● Make testing part of the work
● Make testing easy
Automating
Getting rid of what doesn’t provide value
● Address common barriers to testing
Hard to work with
Not maintained
Too complex
39. CONTRIBUTE
● Testing is on the board with the rest of the work
● This means some “test” work will be picked up by
devs
● The lines are going to get blurry and this is scary.
But it means there’s now more of you.
● Participate in design work and research
Testers often have in-depth knowledge of the business
and the app that can’t be learned except through
experience
Document!
● Remember: you’re an expert on testing. Share that
expertise.
40. THE TESTING MINDSET
● Gatekeepers - run tests
“I do all the testing.”
● Partners - make testing accessible
“I make testing easier for everyone.”
41. WHAT DOES TESTING LOOK LIKE NOW?
● I promised to cover this in my abstract
● It’s a trick
● Testing looks much the same
Unit tests
Integration/functional tests
End-to-end tests
Risk analysis
● Everyone knows the benefits of testing and shares
responsibility for ensuring it happens
