Insights from children about testing; how children who've read the Dragons Ou...Kari Kakkonen
My presentation at German Testing Days online conference on May 3 2022, about how children learn software testing and what can we adults take away from that learning. I consider the Dragons Out book project, explain why software testing is needed, and why for children, too. Then I go on to explain how fantasy works as a way to teach testing, and share insights from how that works. The slides are an evolution of my presentations on the topic, this one broadest so far. In the end there's also a drawing exercise: imagine a defect and draw it as a dragon. In the conference I set out a competition with a book prize for the lucky winner!

Kari Kakkonen Climate Impact of Software TestingKari Kakkonen
FiSTB Testing Assembly conference slides by me about software testing impact on climate. In other words sustainability of software testing. Or green testing. Whatever you call it, software testing also has an impact on climate (the carbon footprint), which you can minimize. But you can also have a handprint which is the positive impact of our actions to the climate.
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.

Testing tools and AI - ideas what to try with some tool examplesKari Kakkonen
My slides at SAST conference in Stockholm 11.4.2024.
I cover a bit of background why AI is a big thing and also testers want to use it and can use it.
Then we discuss following use cases for AI help to testing tools
- anomaly detection8 (like sorting real defects out of lots of defect reports)
- prediction (where to focus testing, based on risks, previous code data, defect data...)2
- test automation tools made more change tolerant when Software Under Test changes
- test script creation more efficiently (e.g using LLM or AI assistants in scripting software to propose you test cases, test script content)
- test automation done almost autonomously (e.g. having general or default tests run first by AI, or having test automation bots running your test automation cases continuously
AI improves software testing to be more fault tolerant, focused and efficientKari Kakkonen
My slides as Finnish Testing Meetup 28.2.2024
AI supports testing in multiple ways: test automation becomes more autonomous and fault-tolerant, test selection is easier after AI analysis and recommendation, and manual and test automation productivity goes up with generative AI. Some background too on AI in general.
AI improves software testing through test automation, test creation and test ...Kari Kakkonen
The early 2024 version of my How AI improve testing presentation that I delivery since 5 years ago in different conference, webinars and customer events abroad and in Finland.
It gives some background on AI and talks about AI opportunities: in short test automation getting more fault tolerant, generative AI bringing efficiency to test creation, and advanced test selection with AI.
Software testing has a climate impact, there's a carbon footprint also from testing. Of course there's a carbon handprint too, as in most ICT - we get to reduce carbon emission elsewhere by implementing and testing good ICT. But we also need to take care of our own backyard, meaning we need to understand how we can minimize the use of test environments, optimize test sets etc. to use less energy.
This slide deck is my keynote presentation from the software testing confererence SANAE.BEER.EX in Bratislava 8.11.2023.
Talk at Testwarez conference. I discussed the fact the climate impact of ICT and also software testing must be reduced. ICT also carries part of the carbon footprint, and even though we can help other industries minimize their carbon footprint, we can also minimize our own carbon footprint. It is there, and it can be significant if we don't optimize what we do.
I talk about test environments, using cloud, optimizing test suites, using automation for testing and for infrastructure and for continuous delivery. Throughout you can optimize.
Early quality means less cost, which luckily also means less climate impact, so it is easily argumented when making changes into how we create and test software.
My slides at SEETEST conference in Bucharest 20.9.2023 about climate impact of software testing, which is part of sustainability in software testing. I talk about Green ICT and Green Testing, and how Testing can measure also the Climate Impact of software in addition to other quality characteristics of testing. Also I discuss how test environments and other testing actions can include climate impact minimizing activities. Testing can both help coding become more green and also minimize the carbon footprint of itself.
Becoming a Multitalented Tester - at KDSKari Kakkonen
My slides at Knowit Developer Summit on 3 Feb 2023 in Copenhagen. I talked about different skills and backgrounds that make a tester, then about adding roles to your profiles, learning those skills, having the alternative visions or futures for you so that you can take the opportunities when they arrive. At the end I shared my journey to be what I am today, and gave some practical tips into learning continuously. More info at https://www.dragonsout.com and at https://www.knowit.fi

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
