These are the slides of the masterclass I gave 24-1-2018 at the Barcelona Test Academy. Using a assessment we started a discussion about what it takes to be an agile tester. Description: Testing has transformed into Agile Testing. Testing has become a responsibilty of the whole development team. Many testers wonder what their role is now that everyone is testing. Some people say that Testing is WHAT we do and Agile is HOW we do it. In order to contribute effectively to quality solutions, agile testers need to combine the WHAT and HOW in their daily approach. Time for a deep-dive. What defines the agile tester and how do we add value. In this workshop participant will fill ins an self-assessment based on the 12 characteristics of the agile tester. We’ll share the group results and create a snapshot of where we stand. Next, we will discuss each of the characteristics mean to us, how do they make agile testing work, help to boost the agility of the test process and how we can embed quality in the agile development process. In groups we will share examples from the trenches to go along with each of characteristics. What do we do to make it work, and what challenges do we encounter? Participants will help each other and be able to benchmark their own ideas. This session aligns with the needs that I recognize with many colleagues. They are good testers, work successfully in an agile environment, but want to get better in explaining why they are a good tester. How does their attitude and approach contribute to valuable software solutions? Join this session if you want to improve yourself and want to get practical tips from the real world; If you want to learn what makes your testing agile and how is your agile mindset translated into a valuable testing approach. Participants can use the self-assessment to identify blind spots in their skills. Each of the participants will leave the room with a good understanding of where he/she stands: “I am an agile tester because…”

Scaled Agile Framework for Lean Enterprises (SAFe) is the most popular framework used by large programs and companies to achieve business agility. It challenges how testers, Q&A and test managers, and test specialists work together with the entire organisation. Derk-Jan de Grood and Mette Bruhn-Pedersen explain how test professionals can contribute with their knowledge and expertise in a SAFe organisation. Scaled Agile Framework for Lean Enterprises (SAFe) is becoming the most popular framework used to help large programs and entire companies achieve business agility. It builds on well-known agile-lean principles and methodologies, and puts them together to address challenges not only on team level, but also on program, large solution and portfolio level. Although the framework is described in more details than other comparable frameworks it is not very elaborate on how testing and quality practices fit in. This raises new challenges for testers, Q&A and test managers, test architects, test specialists and people in similar roles together with the entire organisation. Derk-Jan de Grood and Mette Bruhn-Pedersen describe what guidance SAFe actually provides and suggest additional ways test and QA professionals can contribute with their special knowledge and expertise. The presentation is based on the authors’ experience and an expert session at the 22nd Testing Retreat (2017, Hereford UK). The Testing Retreat is a peer-conference where leaders in the testing and quality profession share their experiences and insights. The participants discussed quality measures and actions that test professionals can take to ensure quality when using SAFe throughout the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC). We thank all for their valuable contributions.

Tester’s considerations when moving towards successful CI/CD

Derk-Jan de Grood

These are the slides of the tutorial I gave at QA&Testing in Bilbao on 17 October 2018 Continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) empowers organizations to bring their solution in production fast and frequent. This interactive session will share the benefits of this concept and introduce eight conditions that need to be met in order to make CI/CD a success. After this brief introduction, we will make small groups and explore these conditions, exchange experiences and you will get an understanding what needs to be improved in your organization. Talk to your peers and learn where they stand. Of course each of the groups will share their learnings, so we all go home with an understanding of how you can benefit from CI/CD and what needs to be done to make it work. Finally we will see what test strategy we would advise if our company would decide to move towards CI/CD and this cover we consider much more than just automate our tests…

Agile Business Day 2020 - Refinement- Unlock the full potential of your refi...

Derk-Jan de Grood

Good refinement makes development more predictable, leads to better solutions and enables the Product Owner to set the right priorities. Still many teams fail to unlock the full potential of refinement. Join this session to get practical tips to get more out of your refinement sessions.I have guided many teams during their transition toward Agile. Initially most attention went to the ceremonies and understanding the agile values. Experience taught me that when the team gets up to speed refinement becomes a bottleneck. Crucial because good refinement makes development more predictable, leads to better solutions and enables the Product Owner to set the right priorities.Unfortunately, I see many teams that do not unlock the full potential of refinement. Not only is the time spent on refinement often limited, many of the refinement meetings I join are inefficient. I meet teams that spent half the meeting watching the Product Owner entering the new backlog items in the workflow system. Although they poker the user stories afterwards, little time is left to discussions the best solution and risks that need to be avoided.In this talk I will focus on the following topics• Advantages of good refinement and what I see in daily practise• How we can boost the potential of Refinement by organising it as a process rather than a meeting• Introduction of challenging questions that can be used to prepare your refinement• And last but not least, how you can involve the off-site team members of distributed teamsJoin this session if you are an Agile Coach of SM and want to help your team(s) to get more out of refinement. If you are a PO and feel a need to boost quality and predictability, or if you are a member of a distributed team and want to involve your fellow team members making better solutions.

Getting a grip on your test maturity using the ambition chart

Derk-Jan de Grood

Agile test teams access their effectiveness every sprint. The power of retrospectives is that they, when done well, focus on improving in small achievable steps. This ensures that progress is being made and is more than just a far away dream. Despite the above, I experienced that in and around teams the proposed improvements are measured and valued against the maturity of the agile adoption. I noticed that in several situations people were judging the performance of the team and the proposed improvements against an implicit blueprint; small improvements were fine “for just now” and regarded as a “good first step”. The implication of the above struck me! We all had our own plan and expectations, but these were implicit and not transparent. In reaction I developed the ambition chart. It is a graphical one-pager that gives insight in the current state, the collective ambition and describes the next step to be taken. The ambition chart can be used to: Discus and align expectations and ambition that individual team members have and create a team goal. To break big goals into smaller steps To prioritize improvement suggestions made in the retrospective To manage dependencies between different area’s of improvement To focus on the next step that needs to be taken, without being distracted by the end goal Manage expectations that management and stakeholders have, e.g. by clarifying that the team does a lot of things very well, but address that it has identified some improvements that are not yet on the agenda. To visualize progress and tell success stories to the rest of the organization In this presentation I will explain how to make and use an ambition chart. I will explain situations in which it can be beneficial and share some examples of focus areas.

Agile Testing Days -Trends and future in testing 2017

Derk-Jan de Grood

Today I gave a presentation at the Agile Testing Days. The room was packed and we talked about the way the testing profession in evolving. 5 years ago the Dutch Test Association published a book that described the changes in the testing profession. I was one of the 7 authors and we organized a few workshops on the theme. Last may we hosted a retrospective workshop during which the participants evaluated the 2012 predictions. Key question during this workshop was: What is the status of the profession and what skills and role should a tester take in order to add value and a job. In my 2017 ATD presentation I shared the results that of this workshop. I shared the highlights of the book, told what predictions were correct and which were incorrect. But most of all I will shared the opinion of or fellow testers: What do roles do they have now, and what roles do they expect to have in 5 years from now. Join this session if you are sometimes worried about the sustainability of your role, if you want to specialize yourself but wonder what specialisms are a safe bet, if you want to stay ahead of the game and be prepared for the future.

Test Management in Agile - Agile testing Days 2018

Derk-Jan de Grood

Yesterday Jan Jaap Cannegieter and I gave an amazing tutorial at the Agile testing days. In our full day tutorial we discussed the role of the test manager and how to add value in an agile environment. We discovered that a test manager is operation at two interfaces. One is being that of a quality ambassador that shows the business and stakeholders how testing is done and how its progressing . On the other interface the test manager is enabling the team(s) to build quality into their deliverables. During this full day tutorial we deep dived on both aspects. We discussed the agile test strategy and investigated what activities we test managers undertake, what activities we find important and what is valued most by our stakeholder. You wouldn’t be surprised if we told you that there is a gap between both. Next we practiced with defining agile test plans at MVP and sprint level. And assessed other roles that test managers can adopt. We closed the full circle by concluding that extra activities might be added to our initial brainstorm results. The topic is truly alive. Not only did we have a full rum (we had an all-time conference record with the amount of attendees), during the day we had a lot of lively discussions and answered a lot of questions from the participants. We loved the participation of all in the room and believe we all had a good day.

Agile Testing Days -the Challenges Ahead

Derk-Jan de Grood

The world of testers has been changing a lot in the last 10 years. And the change continue in an ever increasing speed! In this pre-conference keynote Derk-Jan de Grood and Jan Jaap Cannegieter will highlight changes and trends that will influence the way we do our work. This will introduce challenges for testers, today and in the next few years. The challenges are related to for instance test automation, Continues Integration and Deployment, technical and functional knowledge, how to deal with (senior) management, working in multi-disciplinary teams and organisations that change their business model. During this pre-conference keynote you will be informed and challenged. Which knowledge do you need to develop yourself and prepare for the future. Derk-Jan and Jan Jaap will discuss how you can prepare for these challenges and will provide a guide into the ATD2019 program. Get the most out of this conference and attend the sessions that are most helpful to prepare for these challenges.

Keeping the customer satisfied as an agile coach

Derk-Jan de Grood

These are the slides of the presentation I gave at the agile testing days 2021. In this presentation I will explain how as agile coaches can keep our stakeholders satisfied In my latest book I describe the things that customers want. In order to deliver solutions that create happy customers they should have insight in wat they purchase, they want to have control and be able to adapt their product or subscription, it should be safe and reliable, delivered fast and cheap. While writing the book it occurred to me that agile coaches have customers also. In this presentation I will explain how these items apply to agile coaching as well and how as agile coaches can keep our stakeholders satisfied. We’ll discuss coaching agreements, transformational roadmaps as means to provide insight. How we can allow adaptivity in our coaching, What Agile coaches can do provide safety and how e.g., self service can be applied to reduce costs and speed up delivery. How does this apply in distributed teams and what self-service coaching can we define? But, most of all I will share practices and explain how they can be used to make an impact, deliver value and keep our customer satisfied. Attend this talk when you want to learn some effective practices and gain understanding how they relate to each other. When you want work on the satisfaction of your internal customers.

Far too often agile adoptions focus just on the development teams, agile frameworks, or technical practices as a part of their adoption strategies. And then there’s the near perpetual focus on tooling or developing test automation without striking a balanced approach. Often the testing activity and the testing teams are “left behind” in agile strategy development or worse yet, they’re simply “along for the ride”. That is not an effective transformation strategy. Join experienced agile coaches Bob Galen and Mary Thorn as they share the Three Pillars framework for establishing a balanced strategic plan for effective quality and testing. The Three Pillars focus on development and test automation, testing practices, and collaboration activities that will ensure you have a balanced approach to agile testing. Specifically, risk-based testing, exploratory testing, paired collaboration around agile requirements, agile test design, and TDD-BDD-Functional testing automation will be explored as tactic within a balanced Three Pillars framework. You will leave with the tools to immediately initiate or re-tool a much more effective and balanced agile testing strategy. ortion pills to be shipped to house

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

Attaining Agile Fluency: Coaching Techniques - Focus on Goals Over Process

Ravi Kumar

What is coaching? “It is helping to identify the skills and capabilities that are within the person, and enabling them to use them to the best of their ability” — wikipedia Individuals and Interactions over Process and Tools. The above is one of the 4 values espoused in the manifesto but yet it is common to see many agile coaches engage with teams and organisations advocating more and more processes. This is a common sight with new teams and also with teams on the path of agile transition from few months to few years irrespective of the competency, skills and maturity of the teams. Agile Fluency model created by Diana Larse and James Shore highlights the focus on value over compliance and practices at any given level “ Team fluency depends on more than just the capability of the individuals on the team. It also depends on management structures, relationships, organizational culture, and more. Don’t make the mistake of blaming individuals for low team fluency, or assuming that one highly-skilled individual will guarantee high team fluency ” An agile coach responsible for building high performing teams will need right set of powerful tools and techniques to leverage while working with teams and also to set the right expectations to both management and teams. This talk will draw from experience using few such powerful tools mentioned below while coaching teams attain fluency. 1) Using Agile Fluency @ High Level to Set Expectations 2) Setting Team Norms & Working Agreements 3) Deliberate Practice 4) Creating Enablers for a Learning Organisation 5) Simple Measures

Pairing: The Secret Sauce of Agile Testing

TechWell

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.

Learning Solutions and Your Product Launch: How a Curriculum Drives Success (...

Bottom-Line Performance

Is your company ready to launch a new product? Your sales and support reps might not be. If the product is complex, your customers might not know how to use it, either. This session shows how a curriculum of learning solutions can be used as part of a product launch to solve common business problems. It then connects the big picture goals of a product launch to practical curriculum design techniques that engage learners before, during and after a launch event. You’ll learn how to develop product launch training that drives learner retention… while avoiding common mistakes along the way. Learning Objectives: Understand how a blend of learning solutions can work together to reinforce product knowledge, selling skills and proficient usage of a product. Identify what a curriculum can do to help learners build skills and knowledge around what they sell and support… and what a curriculum cannot do, like fix a bad message or a bad product. Discover how to design a curriculum using a repeatable three-part framework that drives knowledge and skills retention.

Aginext 2021: Built-in Quality - How agile coaches can contribute

Derk-Jan de Grood

Built-in Quality is key when you want to achieve Business Agility. Yesterday I spoke at the AgiNext Conference in London. In my presentation I explained the importance of Built-in Quality, what is actually is and introduced an approach to implement it. The presentation explains how we can take a validated learning approach to eliminate waste and learn how to improve our development life cycle. I share the suggestions that SAFe makes and give a prioritised overview of quality measures. Throughout the presentation I share my thought on how Agile Coaches can contribute to built quality in.

I am a agile tester, because...(Agile testing put to practice)

Derk-Jan de Grood

On 12 September Andreas Prins and I gave two presentation on the TestNet session night. The theme of the event was: Transforming testing to fit modern development. Andreas identified various rhythms (or wavelengths) in the SDLC and explained the automation that can be done in order to have short lead times and frequent feedback on code quality and delivered value. My presentation was called “I am an agile tester, because…”. During my talk I discussed what it takes to be an agile tester and I introduced 12 statements that can be used as manifesto for the agile tester. During the presentation 40+ participants filled in the survey and we got a nice impression of how agile our testing is. You can find the results below, and in the slide deck. Using a recent project I was involved in I put these statements to the test. I explain the test strategy I applied and shared my successes and failures. One of the participants tweeted about the presentation: “A nice war story. The 12 statements trigger me to think about my own role and the role of testing within my project and organization”. I think I succeeded my mission.

Practitest webinar - When a test manager makes a difference

Derk-Jan de Grood

Due to the adoption of Agile, the role of test manager seems redundant. Teams and individual professionals are self-managing and coordinating their own work. Nevertheless, in some organizations and projects, there is a need for a quality ambassador that understand the agile quality strategy and can help, monitor and ensure that working solutions are delivered. In this webinar we will explore situations in which you as a test manager can make a difference. For example: How do we e.g. deal with compliance, integration and final acceptance in a contractor’s context? How does a test manager coordinate the work over teams and ensures the quality of the testing itself? Thanks Joel Montvelisky, PractiTest Chief Solution Architect, for hosting my webinar.

EuroSTAR webinar: creating Agile Test Strategies for larger Enterprises

Derk-Jan de Grood

Many organisations are reducing their test managers and Test Competence Centres. Quality is embedded in development. Testing is responsibility of the team. Still testing is on the rebound. In bigger projects and in enterprises an effective test strategy is vital to ensure that the team does the right testing, we focus on integration and we have insight in inter- team dependencies. In this webinar, Derk-Jan will share his experiences as an overall test manager in various projects and define some key ingredients of an Agile Test Strategy.

Getting a grip on your agile maturity using the ambition chart

Derk-Jan de Grood

Main Statement: Improvements planned in the retrospective do not stand on their own. What is the ambition of your team and how do you share these? Agile teams access their effectiveness every sprint. The power of retrospectives is that they, when done well, focus on improving in small achievable steps. This ensures that progress is being made and is more than just a far away dream. Despite the above, I experienced that in and around teams the proposed improvements are measured and valued against the maturity of the agile adoption.

The implication of the above struck me! We all had our own plan and expectations, but these were implicit and not transparent. In reaction I developed the ambition chart. It is a graphical one-pager that gives insight in the current state, the collective ambition and describes the next step to be taken. The ambition chart can be used to: -Discus and align expectations and ambition that individual team members have and create a team goal. -Break big goals into smaller steps -Prioritize improvement suggestions made in the retrospective -Manage dependencies between different area’s of improvement -Focus on the next step that needs to be taken, without being distracted by the end goal In this presentation I will explain how to make and use an ambition chart. I will explain situations in which it can be beneficial and share some examples of focus areas. Key Learnings -Hands-on technique: the ambition chart -How to plan for small improvements and manage expectations -stakeholders have about agile maturity -To plan improvements in in one or more teams and keep track of dependencies. -To plan improvements in in one or more teams and keep track of dependencies.

Testing fundamentals in a changing world (annotated slides)

Derk-Jan de Grood

Slides of my September SIGIST Keynote. Description: With the fast adoption of agile the definition of testing and our test approach changes. When deploying daily, there is no room for manual testing and a test report. It’s time to get back to our fundamentals. Why do we work the way we do, and what needs do organisations have? In this Keynote, Derk-Jan de Grood will explore the fundamental assets of the test profession, so we can reshape or test approach and make it work in an Agile context. Although the daily focus shifts from working in silo’s to collaboration, from execution to coaching, from preparing to doing, the test fundamentals remain in place. In our search we will distinguish unchanged artefacts that we’ll create for a different reason and goals that remain unchanged but will only be achieved if we take a different route. But bear in mind, not every project is done by using agile methods. Therefore we’ll also explore what concepts of agile testing can we use to improve our traditional projects. By understanding what is changed and what not we can adopt our approach, guide our stakeholders and colleagues in order to align testing with the company goals. Three key points:  Both agile and traditional projects are changing – testing needs to align  We still need some of the same test fundamentals – but perhaps for a different reason  We still have some of the same test goals – but we’ need to achieve them in different ways.

Survival techniques for Testers-BEYOND THE T-SHAPED TESTER

Derk-Jan de Grood

he T-shaped tester (Rob Lambert, Lisa Crispin and Janet Gregory) combines need for general knowledge with advanced test skills to be successful. But testing is a versatile profession and demands are growing. Time to go beyond the T-shape and introduce the π-shaped tester. Extend your global knowledge (development, project management, agile etc) and test skills with yet another specialism to stay in demand, e.g. security, test automation, requirements. In this webinar, Derk-Jan and Jan Jaap report the results of their search for future needs. They explain how we can survive as a tester and what skills and knowledge we need to develop. In their story they include the responses they got from the 100 participants that joined the workshops they gave on this topic. Key Takeaways: Become aware of the need to continuously develop yourself What specialism’s should I adapt to become a better tester Insights in how to brand your knowledge and let the world know about your specialism Derk Jan de Grood WebinarDerk-Jan de Grood works for Valori as senior test manager and Agile Transition Coach. His drive is to improve the visibility of testing in both agile and traditional organizations, by sharing his knowledge and experience by means of training, presentations, workshops and publications. He is a regular speaker at conferences like EuroSTAR, wrote several successful books on software testing and publishes articles for the major testing magazines. In 2014 he won the EuroSTAR Testing Excellence Award. Jan Jaap Cannegieter webinarJan Jaap Cannegieter is a well-known consultant, author, (keynote) speaker and requirements and test specialist form the Netherlands. He has 20 years of experience in ICT and did assignment s in testing, quality assurance, TMMi, CMMI, SPI, Agile and requirements. In testing he was a tester, test manager, test consultant and workshop leader. At this moment Jan Jaap is test/QA-manager and delivery manager at DinamiQs and vice president of SYSQA B.V., a company of 180 employees specialized in requirements, software testing, quality assurance and IT-governance.

Integration testing in Scaled agile projects

Derk-Jan de Grood

On 25 May the Software-Centric Systems Conference [SC]2 conference was held on the High-tech campus in Eindhoven. During this event I hosted an interactive session where we investigated the relationship between the lever of integration and the time to market. Most organizations aim for Continues Integration and deployment, since they want to deliver their products fast. It takes a lot from organizations to get there (slide 4). To give an example, CI/CD assumes that you integrate frequently. But at what level do organizations integrate, and how do they test it. The graph on slide 9 shows that increasing the system (e.g. from Units tot Systems) results in less frequent integration, because it becomes harder to test the integration. Making this clear to management enables to manage expectations or helps to target your next improvements.

Survival techniques for testers, beyond the T-shape tester

Derk-Jan de Grood

The T-shaped tester (Rob Lambert, Lisa Crispin and Janet Gregory) combines need for general knowledge with advanced test skills to be successful. But testing is a versatile profession and demands are growing. Time to go beyond the T-shape and introduce the π-shaped tester. Extend your global knowledge (development, project management, agile etc) and test skills with yet another specialism to stay in demand, e.g. security, test automation, requirements. In this presentation we’ll search for and define our future. How do we survive as a tester and what skills and knowledge de we need to develop.

Seoul Test Conference - Agile in Europe, The way its done.

Derk-Jan de Grood

• Last week I visited South Korea and gave a presentation on the SSTC. I was asked to give a overview of the way that we do Agile in Europe. Since Agile is not an out of the box approach, it is hard to explain how we do Agile in Europe. There is not such as one way. But In this presentation I combine my experience, the information I gather whilst visiting various European Conference with Benchmark research. I believe the presentation gives a nice overview of the things we are struggling with and the agile test challenge.

DevOps is Scaling Agile too

Derk-Jan de Grood

A customer of us asked to give a presentation on DevOps and Agile. Having a mixed audience, Agile experienced Developers, testers but people from the Business and Ops to, I decided to link Agile and DevOps in a logical story. In this presentation I explain the step from SCRUM to DevOps. Starting with why we want to do SCRUM, the challenges I see we are struggling with in daily live, and make the step to Scaling Agile (e.g. Less, DaD, SAFe). Scaling Agile scales its defects too. So we should fix your problems before scaling them. What will happen if you enter the world of Continues Integration and Deployment. Isn't that Scaling Agile too? What does this mean for the defects in you dev - process?

Continuous Cycles in Test Automation

Derk-Jan de Grood

Test automation is still about testing. Join Ard and Derk-Jan in their quest to understand the continues life cycles in Test Automation. In 2012 Derk-Jan talked about requisites and organisational maturity for successful test automation, in 2013 he took the story further and added business case to the spectrum. Last year Ard en Derk-Jan presented their experience with implementing automation for Delta Lloyd. This presentation was all about the implementation strategy and how they used automation to drive test improvements. This year they expand their story: What if you have a test automation framework implemented in your organisation, but the tests just ain’t no good? Does that mean you are back to square one? We’ll explore the marriage between testing and automation. The benefit from each other when you want to make transitions from manual to automated testing, from waterfall to agile, from immature to full grown test department, from technical- towards business driven. Finely will close the circle stating that the true success of test AUTOMATION actually lies in automating TESTS. Lessons to be learned • Understanding the continues life cycles in test automation: You will get back to your starting point • How test maturity, business case and implementation strategy are related • How to set up a automation service team with SLA and Product service catalogue • The historical shift from “not having to automate” to “how to get the requisites for TA in place”

Grood ntc2015- progres reporting in agile context usign subway mapping v03

Derk-Jan de Grood

Test progress reporting can be cumbersome. There is a complex story to be told, but it needs to be done in such a way that the business and project stakeholders get the message. Sequential planning techniques such as critical path analysis won’t work in agile, but stakeholders keep asking for an indication of the progress so far, the work that remains, the bottlenecks and dependencies. Within my current project we solved this problem by introducing a visual progress report, the subway map. Subway map reports are derived from the London tube map and contain the following elements: 1) Stations: Activities are represented as a station; they have a description of the benefit for the stakeholder upon completion. 3) Date lines provide status information (the train is expected on time, or not) 3) Bridges: Where two or more lines merge, you can define have a quality gate. They provide extra control on the progress (and of course to celebrate success) In this session I will provide examples, and a step plan to do subway mapping in Powerpoint. But as a participant you will make your own and gain understanding on you can use it for your project, program, etc. Within my organization it has been adopted quickly by various projects, due to its simplicity and clearness. Business finally understood testing. Key takeaways Benefits for clear reporting Progress reporting in agile: advantages and problems to overcome The power of visual for getting your message across How subway map can help to tell your test story and provide intelligence about the project How to use subway maps for larger projects and programs

Scaling Agile with Subwaymapping

Derk-Jan de Grood

n 30 April I gave a workshop with Anko and Cesario on the Testnet event. The workshop was about Scaling Agile. We discussed the axis along which we can scale agile, the reasons to scale and some of the pitfalls. We stated that it is important not lose sight of the agile principles and values, and offered a nice solution: subway mapping. Subway mapping enables alignment between teams, creates transparency and insight in dependencies. It triggers collaboration and discussion between the team members. During the workshop particpant made their own subwaymap. If you want to try it yourself: Download the Quick Reference Card or the powerpoint template. Dutch description: Naar aanleiding van de workshop “test progress reporting in agile context” die op het TestNet najaarsevenement gegeven is hebben Cesario Ramos, Anko Tijman en Derk-Jan de Grood de handen in elkaar geslagen voor deze unieke Scaling Agile workshop. Bij het opschalen van Agile is onderlinge afstemming en integratie een uitdaging. Frameworks als SAFe bieden een oplossing, maar leggen een accent op processen. Subway mapping helpt om het werk en de ambities van de verschillende teams op elkaar af te stemmen en stimuleert communicatie en samenwerking. Belangrijke agile uitgangspunten. De uitdaging voor IT organisaties is: hoe gaan we Agile in de breedte uitrollen zodat we de voordelen van individuele agile teams ook krijgen op programma’s met meerdere teams. Binnen de agile community bieden frameworks as SAFe handvatten voor het inrichten van de rest van de organisatie. Door de sterk procesmatige invulling van SAFe ontstaat het risico dat de organisatie verstart. De Subway map geeft visueel de afhankelijkheden en voortgang aan van verschillende teams , geeft transparantie over de volwassenheid van de teams en bovenal: het stimuleert communicatie en samenwerking. Het is daarom erg geschikt om het testwerk binnen verschillende team op elkaar af te stemmen met behoud van de agile waarden en principes. Wil je testen een plaats geven in het agile proces, wil je het succes van je agile team opschalen naar de organisatie. Deze sessie geeft je de noodzakelijke praktische tips en inzichten.

Walking in narrow shoes, when Agile doesn't fit

Derk-Jan de Grood

Slides of my experience story for the Software Quality Conference held in Utrecht on 23 April 2015. Description: Implementing agile seems a lot like learning to drive. At First, all effort goes into controlling the car. But soon you discover that anticipating the traffic is the real game. During the agile implementations that I did last year, I had a similar insight. It is not so hard to teach the team to follow the agile processes; the true challenge is dealing with the organisation around the team. In this presentation I will share our insights and learning points on how culture, the project and organisational structures can threaten the success of your agile implementation. We learned that if you neglect those and focus on the agile process only, doing agile is much like walking in narrow shoes. Each step hurts. We will share some real cases from our experience in various organisations. I will hold them against the agile theory, show where it does not fit. I will explain how we dealt with these issues.

Trondheim Test Conference: Increase your effectiveness with the right test te...

Derk-Jan de Grood

Your challenge: Testers all experience the strong urge to reduce costs and to increase the speed of testing. We testers need to improve the efficiency and quality of our work. But how? My Experience: Testers can improve efficiency and quality by using and knowing new tools and techniques. I will share techniques that go beyond the familiar test design techniques, and that help us to do a better job in e.g. agile context. Many tools are available in other disciplines that can easily be adopted. I will share examples of techniques, tools and methods that are already available in other disciplines and explain how they can be useful for us. One of the sources I’ll use is the agile extension of the BABOK® guide, it contains a rich source of valuable techniques. I’ll distinguish between techniques that we need to actually design and perform our tests, create error situations and detect errors. And will introduce supporting techniques that help us to determine scope, improve our process and moderate efficient sessions with our team. Examples I’ll give include: How to provoke and recognize errors, Story deomposition, Story mapping, Value stream mapping, using persona’s, Business Capacity Model, Subway mapping, Process simulation and Gaming. The presentation will suggest techniques, tools and methods that can be used by the participants straight away. The presentation will make them aware that valuable techniques are already available in various sources. I’ll introduce a classification model helps them to seek and recognize additional techniques.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSage

Globus

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?

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good Practices

Globus

Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User Endpoints

Globus

In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...

Globus

The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.

Beyond Event Sourcing - Embracing CRUD for Wix Platform - Java.IL

Natan Silnitsky

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.

Editor's Notes

This story starts with a story…. “ I called my collegue with the question “ what is agile testing” He started laughing, “ you are a CAT trainer, you should know” What is in the CAT training? Does that define the Agile testing…? Does not the whole spectrum Does tell how to what agile is, how to do SBET, but is a little weak on e..g purpose, role of the tester, test automation, techniques and cross discipline skills…CI/CD skills..
