Agile is an iterative approach to software development that builds software incrementally by splitting work into small pieces, prioritizing tasks, and delivering working software frequently for continuous feedback. It focuses on individuals, working software, customer collaboration, and response to change rather than rigid processes, documentation, contracts, and plans. Agile testing emphasizes continuous collaboration with developers, targeted automation, defect prevention, exploratory testing, and adding value rather than detached objectivity, widespread automation, defect detection, scripting, and persistent criticism.
Agile Testing Methodology- Principles of Agile Testing Methodolgy Mobcoder
The agile testing methodology has been a requirement in the software development lifecycle. It must be supported by more customer engagement and test code once it is viable in the system. The code must be clean and efficient enough to pass system review. Many companies have implemented agile testing. Names like Cisco, IBM, and JP Morgan Chase are just a few. Agile testing is a great way to increase your competitive advantage, even if it has not been implemented yet.
Agile QA: Redefining Quality in the Wild WestFord Prior
Agile has flipped the traditional software development lifecycle on its head. For the QA specialist, the waterfall-driven "testing stage"—where testers execute a pre-defined set of tests within a pre-defined timeline—has been redistributed and re-framed within Agile. I would even say it's been reborn.
Topics: Is Agile changing the quality game? How are QA thought leaders attempting to redefine our space? What are some tips/tricks/mindmaps I can use to do QA right on an agile team?

New to Agile? Having challenges implementing an agile process in your organization? Have you been using Scrum, but need to bend the rules to make it work in your organization? Can’t get the business to “buy-in”? Come and learn about implementing an agile process in your organization. You'll look at the “buffet table” of agile processes and procedures and learn how to properly decide “what to eat.” We’ll start by defining XP, Scrum, Kanban and some other popular methodologies and then learn how to mix and match each process for various scenarios, including the enterprise, ISVs, consulting, and remote teams. Then take a look at agile tools and how they will aid in implementing your development process. You’ll see how Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010 provides process templates for Agile that facilitate better planning and metrics. Learn how Microsoft’s application lifecycle management (ALM) tools can support your development process. Lastly, we will talk about how to “sell” agile to your business partners and customers. The speakers have a very interactive style so participation is encouraged and there will be plenty of time for Q&A.
What is the best way to measure DevOps performance? There are many ways that people have tried to measure productivity in software delivery in the past -- what works and what doesn’t? In this webinar, Dr. Nicole Forsgren and Robert Reeves will present some lessons learned about measuring software delivery and why it’s important. The webinar will also highlight the key factors driving DevOps performance and offer a preview to some of the challenges on the horizon.
Tune into this webinar to learn about:
Flaws in previous attempts to measure performance
What really matters (hint: focus on outcomes)
The four measures that are key to delivery performance
The *big* difference between high performers and the rest
Why maturity models don’t work
What high performers can do for their organizations
What challenges are up next in technology transformations… things like data, serverless, and security.
Every cross functional Agile Team has a set of specialists who pitch in at various time to ensure a backlog is ready to be customer shippable sprint by sprint. These could be development specialists, test specialists, documentation specialists, operations specialists, business analysts and other specializations. As in mathematics the ratio of each of these is critical to the success of any sprint as their skills lend expertise and learning to others. In this session we explore if the number of devlopment specialist to test specialist within a cross functional agile team has a golden ratio? In this experience report what will be covered is learnings from scenarios where there is no test specialist in the team to a ratio where number of test specialists are more than development specialists. What will be covered are examples of sample ratios and the good and the bad of these ratios to an actual scenario. The implications of getting this ratio are discussed not just from product development but from a financial, people and type of company (startup, enterprise, service, product). In the end the session should help product owners, scrum masters and scrum team members get a insight into this crucial element of any agile project
Software Development Methodologies By E2LogyE2LOGY

Shift left - find defects earlier through automated test and deploymentClaudia Ring
Do you know how much time it takes or how that translates into dollars lost every time you fix a defect in development, QA, or Production? The cost of application failures or errors increases exponentially the further into the delivery pipeline they are when found. If application defects are discovered by end users in Production, or errors cause a Production outage, the cost can be thousands per second, in addition to the intangible loss of reputation.
So how do you begin to identify defects earlier in software development and prevent them from becoming major, costly errors later on? Join Al Wagner, IBM Technical Evangelist, as he discusses how to "shift left" and;
Incorporate service virtualization and automated testing into development for a more thorough and accurate representation of application quality
Integrate deployment automation with continuous testing to remove wait times on application promotion
Adopt best practices that have proven successful for IBM customers who are currently shifting left

Unlike the Waterfall method, Agile Testing can begin at the start of the project with continuous integration between development and testing.
Agile Testing methodology is not sequential (in the sense it’s executed only after coding phase) but continuous.
Agile is an iterative development methodology, where requirements evolve through collaboration between the customer and self-organizing teams and agile aligns development with customer needs.
The word Agile signifies something that can be performed quickly and immediately ,in the area o f software development
Key takeaways
- Continuous “everything” is at the heart of agile and devops
- Continuous activities result in faster delivery and higher quality
- Rapid feedback and practice are essential for confidence in your delivery process

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
2. What is Agile?
• Iterative approach to software delivery
• Builds software incrementally from the start of the
project, instead of trying to deliver it all at once
near the end
3. How is it Achieved
• Split your work into a list of small, independent
pieces of work
• Estimate the relative effort of each item
• Sort the list by priority
• Develop, Test and get continuous feedback
• Deliver the product incrementally and continuously
in a short time
4. Agile Principles
• Individuals and interactions over processes and
tools
• Working software over comprehensive
documentation
• Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
• Responding to change over following a plan
6. Agile Testing
• Continuous interaction with the team
• Collaborative ownership over Detached Objectivity
• Targeted automation over Widespread anti-regression
• Defect prevention over Defect Detection
• Exploratory Testing over Predetermined scripting
• Value Addition over Persistent critic
