[Mush Honda] Software Testers From Good to Great
Typical software testers focus on learning ‘Hard’ skills associated with the responsibilities of their role. However, these skills allow them to become a "Dependable" or "Knowledgeable" tester, rather than a "Great" tester. What are the skills necessary to take you to the next level within your ladder of testing career, to become someone known as "Great" tester? This presentation will identify some of the key skills that can take you to the next level and provides an easy-to-follow roadmap on mastering those skills.

The document discusses product ownership as a team effort requiring diverse skills. It outlines that the product owner role alone is flawed and product ownership benefits from a team with varied viewpoints. Additionally, the summary should note that the document provides an overview of different project types, tools to help product owners focus on value, and techniques for effective product backlogs and vision setting.
Will Robots Replace Testers?
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.

Quality is a Mindset
Quality is not the responsibility of testers alone, but of the whole agile team. It should be a shared mindset and definition agreed upon by the team. Several techniques can help build quality in, including defining acceptance criteria through conversations between product owners, developers and testers; practicing test-driven development; and ensuring story kick-offs and "shoulder taps" between team members to facilitate collaboration and catch issues early. The document discusses the importance of collaboration, automation, and not trading off quality to deliver features quickly.

Mike Walls (Revera)
This document summarizes a New Zealand cloud infrastructure company's transformation journey from an infrastructure provider to a cloud services provider focused on continuous innovation. The company experienced high growth but also challenges maintaining innovation. It created a small team to focus on strategy, customer problems and value-driven solutions. The team pivoted the company to software-define its infrastructure for more efficient, automated operations and a better digital user experience. The journey included developing a new interface for all services, continuously iterating based on feedback. Challenges included maintaining vision and velocity. Learnings highlighted that people and culture are key to digital transformation, and an agile approach helps focus on continuous improvement.
Testing in a Continuous World
Workshop given at Agile Testing Days 2017 together with Lisa Crispin: "Testing in a Continuous World - How to Continuously Learn for Successful Continuous Delivery"
Abstract:
Nowadays users are quite used to getting product updates every other day. Many teams want to release updates to production more frequently, but they’re struggling to complete testing activities and fear that they might deliver big bugs instead of valuable features. Continuous delivery of reliable software is a huge challenge.
Many teams already develop their products in small chunks, but how does testing and quality fit into this fast-paced scenario? How can we not only continuously deliver, but continuously provide value to our users?
Elisabeth and Lisa have worked in teams who struggled to have testing fully integrated, being able to only release once every few weeks. They’ve also experienced highly collaborative teams who could easily deliver multiple times a day to quickly validate if they added value. What's your situation, can you keep up with testing and release frequently?
In this hands-on workshop, participants will have a chance to practice techniques that can help teams feel confident releasing more frequently. We will facilitate activities in which participants will come up with new experiments to help shorten feedback cycles, make sure all essential types of testing are done continually, and fit testing into the continuous world. Let's share experiences and develop custom solutions for your specific scenarios together!

Isabel Evans - A Statement for the Future
This document outlines an agenda for a workshop aimed at drafting statements for a future software testing manifesto. The workshop will have delegates discuss and edit manifesto statements in small groups. They will choose topics and draft statements for two sessions. The output of the workshop will be conclusions, manifesto statements for a final conference presentation, and documentation of the workshop to be published online along with the statements.
Anthony Marter (Orion Health)
The document discusses the role of the product owner at different scales of product development. It addresses that the product owner acts as a peer role to define value, prioritize work, and facilitate engagement between the business and development teams. At larger scales, the responsibilities may be split between product managers, product owners, and business analysts. The key skills of a product owner are communicating value to both business and technical stakeholders and facilitating prioritization of work. Effective product ownership requires transparency, flexibility, and ensuring the work delivers business value.
Shane Hastie (SoftEd/Agile Alliance of Auckland) replacing Evan Leybourne (IBM)
The document discusses an alternative to traditional project management called "#noprojects". It argues that projects focus on the wrong metrics, are temporary by nature, and often fail. Instead, it promotes continuous delivery of value through outcomes-focused teams. Key aspects of the #noprojects approach include aligning activities to measurable outcomes, using guiding principles to constrain work, and leveraging technologies like automated testing for continuous delivery.

Situational retrospectives
This document discusses situational retrospectives in Agile development. It provides an overview of different retrospective techniques that can be used depending on the situation, including pluses/deltas, silent writing, dot voting, starfish, Niko-niko calendar, team radar, 5 whys, draw me a picture, and future-spective. The document emphasizes that the right retrospective approach depends on factors like team performance and issues. It also outlines best practices for running effective retrospectives.

Agile Implementation Challenges – Testing and more…
This document discusses the challenges of implementing agile methodologies like Scrum, particularly as they relate to testing. It notes that companies are increasingly adopting agile approaches, which require teams to work differently compared to traditional methods. Some challenges mentioned include adapting to new roles, processes, and culture; ensuring discipline and quality with fast iterations; learning new skills like programming; and managing high expectations from executives. The summary at the end emphasizes that overcoming these challenges requires teams to adopt, learn, and adapt to change.
Resource Pools - How is This Still a Thing? at LAST Conf 2016 in Sydney, Aust...
from http://www.xpdays.de/2017/sessions/keynote-freitag-bernd-schiffer.html
A surprising amount of companies is still using antiquated techniques like resource pools. Not only are they costly, but also hinder productivity and effectiveness. Business people wait for weeks and months to get a 20-minute job done? Not uncommon with resource pools.
Feature teams, on the other hand, do have certain characteristics providing the organisation to get things done big time: supported by product owner and team facilitator, self-organised and cross-functional, stable, dedicated, and proactive.
This session shows a path from resource pools to feature teams via self-selection of teams, including common fears and doubts during this culture-changing journey.
Establishing an Agile Testing Culture
Many resources describe how to accelerate performance of your development organization through adoption of agile methodologies, but very few cover testing in a practical manner. And those that do generally focus on technical details, leaving out how to build an agile testing culture while facing numerous adoption challenges. Leigh Ishikawa describes how an organization needs to rethink testing in the agile world. He begins by taking a holistic look at how different groups combine in an agile testing culture. Then Leigh dives into key components including messaging, concepts, metrics, and tools that can be implemented across different groups; how they are integral to one another; how various data from metrics across different teams should be interpreted; and what actions should be taken. Through real world examples from various companies, Leigh takes you through lessons he learned—from both success and failure.
Rikard Edgren - Testing is an Island - A Software Testing Dystopia
This document summarizes trends in software testing that could diminish its effectiveness and enjoyment. It notes an increasing focus on verification over validation, precise measurement over subjective judgement, and short-term metrics over long-term quality. This narrowing scope risks making testers isolated and limiting their creativity, motivation and ability to consider the full context of a project. The document advocates a holistic and subjective approach that considers people and intangible factors, not just short-term quantifiable results. Subjectivity and considering the whole system, not just parts, are presented as useful for testing.
Dipesh Pala (IBM)
The document discusses 7 things that agile leaders and executives do differently compared to traditional managers. These include: 1) focusing on finishing work rather than starting new work, 2) slowing down workflows to increase overall speed, 3) fostering a unified team culture and shared goals, 4) developing fully capable self-organizing teams, 5) encouraging early failures to catch problems quickly, 6) prioritizing business value over project outputs, and 7) leading as servants who enable their teams rather than manage results. The document also discusses common barriers to agile adoption and how changing organizational culture takes time.
Root Cause Analysis in Testing "Dealing with Problems, Not Symptoms! "
The document discusses root cause analysis (RCA) techniques for analyzing critical problems. It introduces the 5 whys technique and cause-effect diagramming for performing RCA. A case study example is presented of an RCA meeting with a high-tech company that was experiencing a high return rate of products from customers. The initial belief was that partial test planning and coverage was the root cause, but upon further analysis using the RCA techniques, it was revealed that issues higher up in the development process, such as unclear requirements and incomplete specifications, were likely the underlying root causes.
MHA2018 - Quality Advocacy: The next progression for Agile Testers - Don Peters
"As we strive as an industry to deliver value more quickly, we need to adapt our testing practices to keep up.
As Quality Advocates, we can’t sit back and wait for work to show up in our queue. We can provide the most value if we bring our testing skills and mindset to all of the activities our team performs. I’ll discuss the attributes of a Quality Advocate and how we can influence culture, planning, and test automation strategy to help our teams deliver value and delight customers."
Kasper Hanselman - Imagination is More Important Than Knowledge
The document discusses the need for software testing to adapt to today's complex, networked world. It argues that most testing still focuses on structured functional testing as if for standalone software, rather than integrated systems. It recommends that testers specialize in areas like usability, security, and gain domain expertise. Testers need to be flexible and creative in their approaches. The testing process also needs to align more with project management methods and tools to effectively deliver results.

Andy Glover - Visual Texting - EuroSTAR 2013
The document discusses visual testing and provides guidance on using different visual formats to explain concepts. It recommends using portraits to represent people or things, charts to illustrate quantitative data, maps to show relationships and locations, timelines to depict sequences over time, flowcharts for processes, and graphs to analyze multiple variables. Examples are given for each format. The document concludes by encouraging the use of visuals and applying a framework of who, how much, where, when, how, and why.
'Automated Reliability Testing via Hardware Interfaces' by Bryan Bakker
The case study described in this presentation has taken place at a medical equipment manufacturer. The product developed was a medical x-ray device used during surgery operations. The system generates x-rays (called exposure) and a detector creates images of the patient based on the detected x-ray beams (called image acquisition). The image pipeline is real-time with several images per second, so the surgeon can e.g. see exactly where he is cutting the patient.
The presentation describes the approach that has been taken to develop an automatic testing framework in order to execute reliability test cases and identify reliability issues. To achieve the control of the system under test, the existing hardware interfaces (physical buttons of the different keyboards, handswitches and footswitches) were used to inject the system with actions (with the use of LabVIEW). This has been done to minimize the so-called probe effect.
The expected results of the test cases have been automatically retrieved from the log files generated by the system. This way the test framework could react on system failures immediately, without wasting valuable test time on scarce test systems. The log files were used to extract information about the performed actions and failures in order to measure the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of different critical system functions (like start-up of the system, and image acquisition). The Crow-AMSAA model for reliability measurements has been chosen to report reliability metrics to the organization. A Return-On-Investment calculation has been performed to get buy-in from senior management who provided additional funding to further develop the testing framework, and to apply the same ideas to different products and projects.
The presentation explains the points which were crucial for the success of this approach to automated reliability testing and briefly explains future plans and extensions (e.g. operational profiles).

You Cant Be Agile If Your Code Sucks (with 9 Tips For Dev Teams)
Our industry has a problem: We are not lacking software methodologies, programming languages, tools or frameworks but we need great software engineers.
Great software engineering teams build quality-in and deliver great software on a regular basis. The technical excellence of those engineers will help you escape the "Waterfall sandwich" and make your organization a little more agile, from the inception of an idea till they go live.
I will talk about my experiences from the last 15 years, including small software delivery teams until big financial institutions.
* Why would a company like to be "agile"?
* How can a company achieve that?
* How can you achieve Technical Excellence in your software teams?
* What developer skills are more important than languages, methods or frameworks?

Good agile / Bad agile: Proving the value of Agile to a skeptical organization
Is Agile worth it?
What value can being Agile bring to your organization?
Done right, Agile software development methodologies can help your organization deliver greater value to customers and other stakeholders more efficiently and with reduced risk.
Done wrong, Agile methodologies become an endlessly iterating feature factory, facing an ever-growing backlog.
In this interactive session, attendees discussed:
- How to identify what’s most valuable to build next
- How to ensure that the features you build are not just functional, but used and valued
- How to measure and effectively communicate the value that you create
Led by Alan Albert of MarketFit, this session at Agile Vancouver explored theory, examples, and exercises showing how to unlock the power of discovering, creating, and communicating value.
Agile Outside Software: Does Agile work outside of sofware? #AOSW
- Agile practices originated from lean manufacturing and were adapted for software development, becoming known as Agile software development. Some practices like stand-up meetings, retrospectives, and work-in-progress limits have been adopted outside of software as well.
- Case studies show that elements of Agile have been successfully applied in various non-software domains like legal teams, education, marketing, and strategy development. However, not all Agile practices directly translate and new practices may need to be developed for different fields.
- While there are still relatively few case studies of Agile outside of software, the principles of Agile can work for other domains if adapted appropriately for the context. Organizations should consider which Agile practices
Presented at Ford's 2017 Global IT Learning Summit (GLITS)
Presentation Details: The best way to think about product discovery is to think about it in relation to product delivery. It's not possible to build a product without doing both discovery and delivery. Discovery encompasses all the activities that we do to decide what to build. It includes all the decisions we make to decide what to build next, whereas delivery is all the activities we do to write code, package releases, ship products. It's how we deliver value to our customers.
Key takeaway for the participants will be to help them understand the difference between Product Discovery and Product Delivery and how to apply techniques in doing both.

Adapt, Innovate, Expand: How to Stay Relevant (or Why I Have a Whiteboard in ...Information Development World
This document discusses how to stay relevant in one's career by adapting, innovating and expanding one's skills and responsibilities. It recommends changing one's mindset from focusing only on traditional documentation roles to thinking more broadly about creating innovative information solutions. Specific suggestions include rewriting job descriptions, creating new types of deliverables, engaging with other departments, and taking on responsibilities like training, social media and video production to expand one's impact beyond traditional boundaries. The goal is to grow one's career contributions and avoid being pigeonholed into narrow roles over time.If agile is so great, why do we constrain it to software projects
This document discusses applying Agile principles and practices beyond software projects. It provides a timeline of Agile's development and defines key Agile concepts. The document advocates targeting business areas wanting change, training them in Agile techniques, and coaching them to define and measure success through iterations. Visual boards and simple messages are recommended. Adopting Agile ensures continuous optimization of investments. Key points include modeling Agile in PMOs, focusing on willing teams, and coaching the incremental learn-apply process.
Build the Right Thing with a Formalized Discovery Process
Do your products have features that are rarely or never used?
Does it takes your organization the full investment of building and launching a product to validate an idea?
Is your organization challenged with striking the right balance between the demands of a scalable, high quality product and innovating on the most compelling problems and opportunities for your customers?
Learn how a formal discovery process may be the answer you are looking for
Learning Objectives
Relate to how a formal Discovery Framework helps solve some commonly expressed organizational challenges
Learn how Design Thinking principles, tools and techniques can be applied to discovery efforts in an Agile environment
Determine when and how to engage customers in building the right thing
Getting to the Heart of Agile
The document discusses issues with traditional development approaches and how adopting Agile practices helped address them. It introduces Agile concepts like Scrum, user stories, and ceremonies. While some have concerns that Agile has become diluted, the document argues the heart of Agile is experimentation - observing, forming hypotheses, running experiments, and analyzing results. This allows teams to solve their own problems through individual interactions over processes, focus on working software through experimentation rather than documentation, collaborate with customers through experiments instead of contracts, and constantly adapt through change by embracing experimentation.
Government PO What to expect when they are expecting
The document discusses the product owner role in an agile context, particularly for government organizations. It describes the traditional product owner responsibilities of managing the product backlog. However, it notes that the role may need to evolve for government settings, where a "value team" approach with multiple stakeholders facilitating decision making could be more effective than a single product owner. The document explores how organizational structures and value team configurations may need to adapt for government agencies.

Do you have a nagging feeling that you may not be investing in building the right thing?
Do your products have features that are rarely or never used? Does it takes your organization the full investment of building and launching a product to validate an idea? Is your organization challenged with striking the right balance between the demands of a scalable, high-quality product and innovating on the most compelling problems and opportunities for your customers?
At Pearson Online & Blended Learning, we met these challenges head-on by creating and implementing a framework that includes early collaboration within a multi-disciplinary team and a light-weight process. Based on Design Thinking principles and practices, the framework effectively balances discovery and delivery efforts. It ensures that, across the portfolio, our investments are focused on the right things, and the efforts of our delivery teams are aligned to solving the most important problems for our customers and addressing the most valuable opportunities for our business.
In this interactive session, learn about this discovery framework, our implementation approach, and our triumphs and challenges. Each participant will have the opportunity to reflect on how a similar approach may help them address challenges within their own organizations.
Breaking Through with Agile Change Management
The document discusses overcoming barriers to adopting Agile change management practices outside of IT. It proposes three solutions: 1) Translating Agile concepts into business terms that non-technical managers and teams understand. 2) Showing how Agile has been successfully applied in other disciplines like manufacturing, legal, and marketing. 3) Demonstrating how cultural transformations to Agile values and ways of working can be measured and have led to benefits at organizations. The document provides examples and explanations for each solution to help organizations expand their Agile approaches.

Lean Part 1.
The document discusses lean manufacturing compared to mass manufacturing. It notes that while the processing, equipment, and people may be the same, lean focuses on engaging all employees in constant process improvement. Only about 25% of workers feel fully enabled and aligned with organizational goals. It questions how effective and efficient the reader is with their lean implementation based on metrics like vision, planning, and results. It stresses the importance of developing a lean mentality and capable people trained in lean tools and philosophies. The document warns that lean will fail without top management vision, understanding lean principles, or hiring consultants without knowledge of the organization's lean vision. It offers to help the reader identify opportunities, select resources, and embed sustainable change without creating dependency.

Keys to continuous testing for faster delivery euro star webinar
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.
Why you Shouldnt Automated But You Will Anyway
The document discusses automation in software testing. It begins by outlining common claims made about the benefits of automation, such as saving time and improving quality, but argues that these claims often don't hold true. Automation does not inherently save time, guarantee quality, or reduce resources needed. It also does not always save money when development, maintenance, and infrastructure costs are considered. The document provides a formula for determining when automation is worthwhile based on how many times a test case would need to be rerun manually. It concludes by acknowledging that, despite these drawbacks, organizations will still automate testing because it is exciting, managers demand it, and it benefits careers.

This document discusses how big data and data science can be used to attain new heights, likening it to magic. It provides an overview of Ken Johnston's background and experiences in data science. It then discusses six keys to a "big" magic show with big data: trying multiple times, addressing issues with over-counting, experimentation techniques like A/B testing, infrastructure for big data, tools and skills, and security, privacy and fraud protection. The document emphasizes the importance of an assistant to help the data scientist or data engineer with various tasks.
TDD For The Rest Of Us
The document discusses Test Driven Development (TDD) and Test Driven Design. It uses the analogy of building a lightsaber and later a Death Star to illustrate the TDD process and benefits. Some benefits mentioned are better test coverage, less debugging, and better design. The document provides tips for practicing TDD including planning ahead, defining boundaries, taking small steps to pass each test, and maintaining discipline. It emphasizes trying TDD in a team and considering Behavior Driven Development (BDD) as well.

Are Your Tests Well-Travelled? Thoughts About Test Coverage
This document summarizes a presentation on test coverage given by Dorothy Graham. It uses an analogy of travel to different locations to explain what test coverage means and some caveats. Coverage refers to the relationship between tests and the parts of a system being tested, but achieving 100% coverage does not mean everything is tested. There are four caveats discussed: coverage only measures one aspect of testing, a single test can achieve coverage, coverage does not indicate quality, and it only applies to the existing system not missing pieces. The key recommendation is to ask "coverage of what?" when the term is used rather than assuming more coverage is always better.
Growing a Company Test Community: Roles and Paths for Testers
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.

Do we need testers on agile teams?
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.

Measures in SQL (SIGMOD 2024, Santiago, Chile)
SQL has attained widespread adoption, but Business Intelligence tools still use their own higher level languages based upon a multidimensional paradigm. Composable calculations are what is missing from SQL, and we propose a new kind of column, called a measure, that attaches a calculation to a table. Like regular tables, tables with measures are composable and closed when used in queries.
SQL-with-measures has the power, conciseness and reusability of multidimensional languages but retains SQL semantics. Measure invocations can be expanded in place to simple, clear SQL.
To define the evaluation semantics for measures, we introduce context-sensitive expressions (a way to evaluate multidimensional expressions that is consistent with existing SQL semantics), a concept called evaluation context, and several operations for setting and modifying the evaluation context.

Odoo ERP Vs. Traditional ERP Systems – A Comparative Analysis
When it is all about ERP solutions, companies typically meet their needs with common ERP solutions like SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics. These big players have demonstrated that ERP systems can be either simple or highly comprehensive. This remains true today, but there are new factors to consider, including a promising new contender in the market that’s Odoo. This blog compares Odoo ERP with traditional ERP systems and explains why many companies now see Odoo ERP as the best choice.
What are ERP Systems?
An ERP, or Enterprise Resource Planning, system provides your company with valuable information to help you make better decisions and boost your ROI. You should choose an ERP system based on your company’s specific needs. For instance, if you run a manufacturing or retail business, you will need an ERP system that efficiently manages inventory. A consulting firm, on the other hand, would benefit from an ERP system that enhances daily operations. Similarly, eCommerce stores would select an ERP system tailored to their needs.
Because different businesses have different requirements, ERP system functionalities can vary. Among the various ERP systems available, Odoo ERP is considered one of the best in the ERp market with more than 12 million global users today.
Odoo is an open-source ERP system initially designed for small to medium-sized businesses but now suitable for a wide range of companies. Odoo offers a scalable and configurable point-of-sale management solution and allows you to create customised modules for specific industries. Odoo is gaining more popularity because it is built in a way that allows easy customisation, has a user-friendly interface, and is affordable. Here, you will cover the main differences and get to know why Odoo is gaining attention despite the many other ERP systems available in the market.

UI5con 2024 - Bring Your Own Design System
How do you combine the OpenUI5/SAPUI5 programming model with a design system that makes its controls available as Web Components? Since OpenUI5/SAPUI5 1.120, the framework supports the integration of any Web Components. This makes it possible, for example, to natively embed own Web Components of your design system which are created with Stencil. The integration embeds the Web Components in a way that they can be used naturally in XMLViews, like with standard UI5 controls, and can be bound with data binding. Learn how you can also make use of the Web Components base class in OpenUI5/SAPUI5 to also integrate your Web Components and get inspired by the solution to generate a custom UI5 library providing the Web Components control wrappers for the native ones.

Editor's Notes
- Outline: The term “Agile” has become meaningless Agile can distract from your message Agile can distract from product delivery Agile can distract from skill development Agile is useless without value Agile is popular because it appeals to our emotions. It’s how technical people imagine they would gather in the wild. But, with so many Agile ideas, consultants, flavors, and people calling whatever they do Agile, it’s confusing.
