Consistently delivering and maintaining well performing applications doesn't just happen, it requires a solid architecture, sound development, continual attention, diligence and expertise. It also requires appropriate testing, not simply of release-candidate builds, but of designs, units, integrations, and physical components... both during development and in production. The question is, how can a team accomplish all of that under all of today's pressure to deliver quickly and cheaply? Join Scott Barber for this Keynote Address to hear about what successful organizations are doing to consistently deliver well performing applications, to learn the underlying principles and practices that enable those organizations to create, test, and maintain those well performing applications without breaking either the budget or the schedule, and what the key items are that virtually every team can implement right away, to dramatically improve the consistency and overall performance of their applications.

Review & Questions
Did we learn anything?

Throughout the Life-Cycle © 2012 PerfTestPlus, Inc. All rights reserved.

Sometimes we test to find bugs. Sometimes we test to comply with regulations. Sometimes we test to answer a question for someone. Sometimes we test because its what was done before. Sometimes we’re not even sure what we are testing for, only that someone is paying us to “just test it”. Whether or not someone has told us why we are testing, or what we are testing for, if we are being paid (or otherwise compensated) for testing, there is a reason that someone is willing to pay for that testing to be done. That reason is (or should be) our testing mission. During this keynote, Scott Barber explores some of the most commonly assigned or assumed testing missions, shares his thoughts on contexts in which these missions may or many not be particularly valuable and, publicly for the first time, discusses a software product assessment model that he believes has the potential to dramatically improve the alignment of our assigned or assumed testing missions with the wants and needs of the businesses paying us to conduct that testing.

Introducing the Captain of your Special Teams... The Performance Test Lead

Scott Barber

Performance Testing in Context; From Simple to Rocket Science

Scott Barber

When most people think of performance testing, they think about the hard parts – the very hard parts. They think about the expensive and complicated tools that are required to simulate the activity of thousands of end-users all at the same time, while collecting tens or hundreds of thousands of measurements. In reality, many performance issues can be detected and diagnosed with exactly the tools and knowledge you already have at your disposal using information obtained from quick, easy and cheap performance tests. In fact, much of the performance related information that stakeholders need to make good decisions and development teams need to dramatically improve system performance is easily obtainable by the performance-testing layman. The trick is knowing what performance tests to apply when, and how much time/effort is worth investing based on the business importance of performance — in other words, context! In this hands-on tutorial (bring your laptop or risk reduced value and intermittent boredom), Scott Barber will introduce you to several techniques that the performance testing layperson can use to speed up and simplify the collection of valuable performance-related information; many of which you can use during the tutorial to test your current website if it’s accessible from the classroom. You’ll also receive an introduction to the ‘rocket science’ side of performance testing along with some things that you can do to make life easier for your resident ‘performance testing rocket scientist’.

Add Security Testing Tools to Your Delivery Pipeline

TechWell

Developing a delivery pipeline means more than just adding automated deploys to the development cycle. To be successful, quality testing of all types must be incorporated throughout the process to ensure that problems aren’t slipping through. Those checks must include security, or you risk developing insecure software. Fortunately, the delivery pipeline opens up opportunities to add more security testing to the delivery process. Continuous integration builds can add static analysis tools to test for simple security errors and check if components with known vulnerabilities are being used. Gene Gotimer introduces several types of open-source and free security testing tools, that can be quickly added to a delivery pipeline. Security tools reduce the initial investment of both time and money, and help eliminate some barriers to adding security testing to the process.

With fingers wagging and eyes squinting, they query Why didn’t you find this problem during testing? How many times have you tried to defend yourself with things like We can’t test everything or It’s a corner case? Everyone knows you can’t improve quality with testing alone, so what can you do? Marianne Hollier shares practices and tools that help improve your test effectiveness and overall software quality. Learn how early collaboration across your whole team can remove bottlenecks and surprises. See how capturing and agreeing on interfaces between dependent systems can eliminate common issues that occur when systems are finally integrated for testing and nothing works. Understand how service virtualization and test automation go hand-in-hand to get your testing effort started earlier to achieve higher coverage more quickly. Join Marianne to learn how continuous integration and continuous deployment can get your test environments ready to test immediately after a new build is made—with no wasted time.

Managing Application Performance: A Simplified Universal Approach

TechWell

In response to increasing market demand for well-performing applications, many organizations implement performance testing programs, often at great expense. Sadly, these solutions alone are often insufficient to keep pace with emerging expectations and competitive pressures. Scott Barber shares the fundamentals of implementing T4APM™ including specific examples from recent client implementations. T4APM™ is a simple and universal approach that is valuable independently or as an extension of existing performance testing programs. The approach hinges on applying a simple and unobtrusive "Target, Test, Trend, Tune” cycle to tasks in your application lifecycle—from a single unit test through entire system production monitoring. Leveraging T4APM™ on a particular task may require knowledge specific to the task, but learning how to leverage the approach does not. Scott provides everything you need to become the T4APM™ coach and champion, and to help your team keep up with increasing demand for better performance, regardless of your current title or role.

Hybrid Development Methodology in a Regulated World

Perforce

In a regulated industry, collaboration can be vital to building quality products that meet compliance. But when an Agile team and a Waterfall team need to work together, it can feel like mixing oil with water. If you're used to Agile methods, Waterfall can feel slow and unresponsive. From a Waterfall perspective, pure Agile may lack accountability and direction. Misaligned teams can slow progress, and expose your development to mistakes that undermine compliance. It's possible to create the best of both worlds so your teams can operate together harmoniously. This is how to develop products quickly, and still make regulators happy. Join ALM Solutions Engineer Tom Totenberg in this webinar to learn how teams can: - Operate efficiently with differing methodologies. - Glean best practices for their tailored hybrid. - Work together in a single environment. Watch the webinar, and when you're ready for a tool to help you with the hybrid, know that you can try Helix ALM for free.

Integrating Automated Testing into DevOps

TechWell

In many organizations, agile development processes are driving the pursuit of faster software releases, which has spawned a set of new practices called DevOps. DevOps stresses communications and integration between development and operations, including continuous integration, continuous delivery, and rapid deployments. Because DevOps practices require confidence that changes made to the code base will function as expected. automated testing is an essential ingredient Join Jeff Payne as he discusses the unique challenges associated with integrating automated testing into continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) environments. Learn the internals of how CI/CD works, appropriate tooling, and test integration points. Find out howpto integrate your existing test automation frameworks into a DevOps environment and leave with roadmap for integrating test automation with continuous integration and delivery.

Agile Testing at Scale

TechWell

Over the past twenty years, Mary Thorn has had the opportunity to work at many startups, creating several QA/test departments from scratch. For the past ten years, she has done this in agile software companies. Recently Mary moved from leading small agile test organizations to leading a large agile test organization. She has learned how to lead agile testers and agile testing in large contexts. Mary takes you through what she has learned, identifies the keys to transitioning your test organization as it grows, and discusses the techniques required to lead it through the changes. Agile testing is difficult, and training your testers to be consistent and interchangeable across large scale agile teams is even more difficult. And still more difficult is test automation at scale. Mary shares her experience in creating an automation strategy that works in a large scale context. Join Mary as she discusses her learnings from leading large agile test organizations.

Will The Test Leaders Stand Up?

Paul Gerrard

This talk was given at Eurostar 2013 in Gothenburg, Sweden. “Significant forces in the IT industry that mean testing in most organisations is under extreme pressure. Bosses wonder why they need people ‘over here’ to make sure people ‘over there’ do their job properly. Users, analysts, developers and testers may have to redistribute responsibility for testing and checking and by collaborating more effectively. Testers won’t drive this transition, and they may be caught out if they ignore the winds of change. There's complacency, self-delusion and over capacity in the testing business; there is too little agreement about what testing is, what it’s for or how it should be done. In this talk, Paul will suggest what leadership is required in our industry, the market and our organisations. Of course, some responsibility will fall on your shoulders. Whether you are a manager or technical specialist, there will be an opportunity for you to lead the change.”

Best Practices for Shifting Left Performance and Accessibility Testing

Perfecto by Perforce

Web and mobile test cycles typically leverage automation frameworks like Selenium and Appium that are mostly focused on functional testing with end-to-end scenarios. But what about nonfunctional testing — including performance, accessibility, security, and UX? Unfortunately, nonfunctional testing is either left to the end of the cycle or done only partially. Or, it’s outsourced externally, where it is performed manually due to a lack of time and automation abilities. When nonfunctional testing is overlooked or left until the end of cycle, performance, accessibility, and UX defects can cause brand damage and are more expensive to fix after the fact. Specifically, accessibility defects can also result in expensive complaints or lawsuits. Learn how you can avoid damaging defects. Join our panel webinar led by Perfecto’s VP of Products Tzvika Shahaf and Chief Evangelist and author Eran Kinsbruner, together with Dylan Barrel, CTO at Deque, and Henrik Rexed, Performance Testing Advocate from Neotys, to learn how you can expand your coverage within the build cycle by shifting automated nonfunctional testing left. During the webinar, you will learn: - The key benefits of shifting performance and accessibility testing left. - Best practices and recommendations on how to succeed in shifting such tests into the build process. - How to get started with mobile and web performance and accessibility testing.

Load and Performance Testing in Production, featuring Scott Barber

Neotys

Test environments these days are rarely built out to the same level as production environments, so they can never achieve the full scale and realism that you’d see in “real life.” Plus, testing environments can easily get stale and out-of-date. Additionally, with the faster pace of modern application development and the rise of DevOps automation, the use of large-scale testing environments has been minimized. As a result, Testing in Production has grown in popularity. But what’s the right way to load and performance test an application in production to get the results you need without impacting your live users?

Continuous Testing: A Key to DevOps Success

TechWell

As IT organizations adopt a DevOps strategy, continuous testing (CT) becomes a key ingredient of the DevOps ecosystem. CT enables faster release cycles, more changes per release, upfront isolation of risks, and reduced operations costs. The approach to scale the traditional automation testing infrastructure, test environments, and test data management requires a culture shift using new tools and techniques. Sujay Honnamane discusses a CT strategy for aspiring and already implemented DevOps organizations. Sujay shares examples of tools, techniques, and practical solutions that include continuous integration using the Jenkins CI server, service virtualization through CA Lisa tools, automated code coverage analysis to create impact-based tests, automated test script load balancing for effective use of test environments, and faster test cycles, providing a holistic approach/workflow for CT. Sujay and his teams have successfully implemented CT for several clients in their DevOps journey to achieve a repeatable and highly predictable software delivery process.

Holistic Product Development

Gary Pedretti

In the world of agile, there is theory and then there is practice. We like to talk about self-organizing teams, asynchronous execution, BDD, TDD, and emergent architecture. We also talk about cross-functional teams: how analysts, testers, architects, technical writers, and UX designers belong on the same team, right next to programmers. It all sounds nice in theory, but how does this work in reality? What do these people actually do? How do they interact? What does it look like? Is there really a pragmatic way to make this work? In this simulation, a cross-functional team will actually build a piece of software. Every specialist will have a hand in the process. Every specialist will also act as a generalist. Everyone will add value. And as a team, we’ll get something DONE. This is your opportunity to see agile development in practice, and to bridge the gap between what agilists say and what teams do. And it’s not as new or as difficult as you think – affinity between testers, BA’s, coders, and other team members has really been at the root of effective development practices all along. Let’s just finally acknowledge that it works, demonstrate its capabilities, and encourage it going forward. This IS agile development.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical Futures

Bhaskar Mitra

The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support

Alan 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.
