Cost reductions and the quest for more efficiency are more evident in today’s business world. It also follows that our testing processes will ultimately be affected. When test techniques and methods for structured testing are introduced, this results in improvements in the production of more consistent and predictable results.
Introducing a risk based approach to testing makes it easier for the business to determine to what extent testing is necessary and most efficient. The resulting Go/No- Go decision process may not be sufficient for all companies so other creative methods need to be investigated. Many management theories speak about “Lean” as being one of the solutions. One of the key steps in using “Lean” is the identification of which steps add value to the customer and which do not. This track will give you information to start using “Lean” within testing and more specifically within test management.
The presenter will also look at Lean Six Sigma as being one of the more popular theories that introduces the concept of “Lean” in combination with obtaining higher quality products. This subject will also be explained in combination with testing and test management. This track will focus on applying Lean Six Sigma techniques to test management processes using practical examples from customer cases. The audience can take home a practical “Lean Test Management” overview which they can apply in their own companies.
This track is especially of interest to business managers, IT managers, QA managers and test managers that are involved in improving the quality of test management processes.

'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.

'Houston We Have A Problem' by Rien van Vugt & Maurice SiteurTEST Huddle
Prevent the surprise, become a pro-active test manager. Too often projects suddenly seem to spin out of control. Challenges and risks keep stacking up and the defect count grows exponentially. At the same time, management can put pressure on you, asking when testing will be completed.
A surprise? Not really, defects only paint half the picture. The test effort, after all, is primarily determined by the number of tests that need to be completed. For an on the spot status of testing and accurate view on the quality and risks of the entire project we need to organize the test process to provide flexible, up-to-date metrics and trends on a daily basis. E.g. we need a view on baseline vs. actuals and ETC’s on test cases. Advanced metrics will provide answers on what needs to be done tomorrow to stay on track, the location and root cause of issues and who is required to take action. Also the test effort remaining for an acceptable product (or a specific risk level) can be estimated fairly accurately.
In addition early involvement and preparation in the development life cycle, performing test intakes rather than reviews, will help you bridge the gap between different development teams and allows you to verify consistency between business requirements, the integration model, functional specifications and technical specifications. It facilitates knowledge transfer and provides you with the “story” behind the specifications. This will help prevent structural issues in an early stage and avoid blocking issues during test execution.
This presentation combines daily test metrics and trends with test process dynamics and shows you how to become a “pro-active” test manager. Even better you can apply it tomorrow and take your test process to a distinct higher maturity level.

'Growing to a Next Level Test Organisation' by Tim KoomenTEST Huddle
Many organisations start improving their testing by implementing some kind of line organisation for testing (test expertise center, test service center), hereafter called TEC. Although a good starting point for improvements, in practice the TEC is often not much more than a resource pool of testers, possibly supplying certain templates or giving advice to projects.
A next maturity level for a TEC is to grow to a test factory, responsible for delivering pre-agreed test results.From the experiences gathered mostly from a large railroad infrastructure organisation, this presentation shows the path to this next level of test maturity and responsibility.However, this is not a straight path, but a path with ups and downs and many curves, and getting there isn’t easy. It requires change, in organisational processes but, more difficult, also in the way people work, their behavior and their attitude.
In my practice, I follow the principles of the Basic Change Method (from Dutch management guru Ben Tiggelaar). BCM is a combination of the most effective insights from cognitive and behavioral science and focuses on making people change their common behavior by management of both behavior intentions and change situations. Usually change management is mainly focused on end results. But the underestimated factor between change plans and desired results is behavior.
Issues that will be discussed are:
• using the TEC as a lever for test improvement
• envisioning the roadmap
• formulating improvement actions
• (management) commitment
• organising the improvement (team)
• planning the change
• implementing the improvements
• changing behavior
• measuring results.
End users, and more precisely end users involved in acceptance testing decide whether a new application or system will go live or not. Therefore it is very important they are in the same pursuit of quality as the rest of the project. End users are no dedicated testers, although sometimes we expect them to be. Just by looking at their available time for testing, we already know they are not. The fact that they are not trained to be testers, doesn’t make it easier.
But are we really looking for dedicated testers here?
During this presentation, Erik will explain how you can involve end users in such a way that we optimize their added value during their testing activities. An error often made in projects is that end users are only involved during test execution. It’s by having them participate in the test process on regular, well selected moments that we can get the best out of acceptance testing.
By means of a case study, Erik points out these moments. To start with, the acceptance testers need to know the goal of their testing activities. Knowing that, the acceptance testers are already involved at the end of the analysis phase in order to help the writing and prioritisation of high level test scenarios together with setting up the entry criteria for starting the acceptance test phase. Consequently, the acceptance testers will get demos on a regular basis of the software already delivered. These demos deliver valuable information, both for the project team as for the end users.
And finally, after having assessed the test readiness of the system through system testing, the end users will execute their test cases closely monitored by the test coordinator. While executing the tests, it is up to the test coordinator to make sure the end users are always updated on the defects.
The presentation will provide the audience with practical advice, examples and templates on how to set up their acceptance testing in a flexible way without drowning in administrative tasks.

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.
Leveraging Visual Testing with Your Functional TestsTEST Huddle
Designing and implementing (or selecting) the right automation strategy, for functional testing, with visual testing, can help your project with greater test coverage while improving test scalability
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.

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.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay

4. What is Lean Manufacturing?
• Lean manufacturing is a company process improvement
method. It is developed from a logistics viewpoint.
• Lean manufacturing concentrates on banning waste to
become quicker and more efficient. Every process that
does not add value for the customer is eliminated.
4
7. What is (Lean) Six Sigma
• Lean Six Sigma is a quality management method that offers a
framework to manage quality. By many it is seen as a sequence of
Total Quality Management (TQM) with a high use of Statistical
Process Control (SPC) as underlying method. Processes can be
controled when you know how each process goes and to know that
you have to measure: to measure is to know! Measuring is the basis
of Six Sigma.
• The aim is to work smarter and get a higher quality.
• Sigma (∂) is the standard deviation from the average. A statistical
term that measures how far a given process deviates from
perfection.
7
8. History of Six Sigma
• Six Sigma is founded at Motorola in the mid 80’s as a solution for
problems with product quality and customer satisfaction. Six
Sigma got its big popularity when it was used on a broad scale at
General Electric and gained billions over a period of multiple
years.

16. Takt time
• Definition Takt Time:
The desired time between units of production output,
synchronized to customer demand.
• The concept carries backward through
a process stream. Ideally, every step
synchronizes with the final output.
Takt Time is fundamental
to Lean Manufacturing.

Problem Statement:
During test execution there
are long waiting hours.
1. Why are there
long waiting hours
during test
execution?
1. Because often
there are failures in
the test
environment
2. Why are there
failures in the test
environment?
2. Because we
often seem to have
the wrong version
of the test object.
3. Why do we often
have the wrong
version?
3. Because
someone installed
the wrong version.
4. Why does
someone install the
wrong version?
4. Because we don’t
have proper version

Editor's Notes
Vilfredo Pareto ( Parijs , 15 juli 1848 – Genève , 19 augustus 1923 ) was een Italiaans econoom. Hij introduceerde het Pareto-optimum voor nutscurves in de micro-economie. Tevens is hij bekend vanwege het Paretoprincipe: hij constateerde dat 20% van de bevolking 80% van het vermogen in Italië bezat. Deze 80-20-regel is later op veel andere zaken toegepast. Dit principe is gebaseerd op de Zipfdistributie. Pareto is een van de grondleggers van de moderne welvaartstheorie. Deze theorie maakt inzichtelijk onder welke voorwaarden een optimale verdeling van productiemiddelen ontstaat en hoe de welvaartsverdeling over de huishoudens plaatsvindt. Van belang hierbij is het zogenoemde pareto-compensatiebeginsel. Dit beginsel betekent het volgende: bij een verandering in de verdeling van de welvaart treden er verliezers en winnaars op; kunnen de verliezers uit de winst van de winnaars worden gecompenseerd dan is de verandering pareto-optimaal. Kortom, een pareto-optimale verandering in verdeling van de welvaart is als alle verliezers voor het verlies uit de winst van de winnaars kunnen worden gecompenseerd.
