Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
DevOps and Testing slides at DASA ConnectKari Kakkonen
My and Rik Marselis slides at 30.5.2024 DASA Connect conference. We discuss about what is testing, then what is agile testing and finally what is Testing in DevOps. Finally we had lovely workshop with the participants trying to find out different ways to think about quality and testing in different parts of the DevOps infinity loop.
Testing tools and AI - ideas what to try with some tool examplesKari Kakkonen
My slides at SAST conference in Stockholm 11.4.2024.
I cover a bit of background why AI is a big thing and also testers want to use it and can use it.
Then we discuss following use cases for AI help to testing tools
- anomaly detection8 (like sorting real defects out of lots of defect reports)
- prediction (where to focus testing, based on risks, previous code data, defect data...)2
- test automation tools made more change tolerant when Software Under Test changes
- test script creation more efficiently (e.g using LLM or AI assistants in scripting software to propose you test cases, test script content)
- test automation done almost autonomously (e.g. having general or default tests run first by AI, or having test automation bots running your test automation cases continuously
AI improves software testing to be more fault tolerant, focused and efficientKari Kakkonen
My slides as Finnish Testing Meetup 28.2.2024
AI supports testing in multiple ways: test automation becomes more autonomous and fault-tolerant, test selection is easier after AI analysis and recommendation, and manual and test automation productivity goes up with generative AI. Some background too on AI in general.
AI improves software testing through test automation, test creation and test ...Kari Kakkonen
The early 2024 version of my How AI improve testing presentation that I delivery since 5 years ago in different conference, webinars and customer events abroad and in Finland.
It gives some background on AI and talks about AI opportunities: in short test automation getting more fault tolerant, generative AI bringing efficiency to test creation, and advanced test selection with AI.
Kari Kakkonen Climate Impact of Software TestingKari Kakkonen
FiSTB Testing Assembly conference slides by me about software testing impact on climate. In other words sustainability of software testing. Or green testing. Whatever you call it, software testing also has an impact on climate (the carbon footprint), which you can minimize. But you can also have a handprint which is the positive impact of our actions to the climate.
Software testing has a climate impact, there's a carbon footprint also from testing. Of course there's a carbon handprint too, as in most ICT - we get to reduce carbon emission elsewhere by implementing and testing good ICT. But we also need to take care of our own backyard, meaning we need to understand how we can minimize the use of test environments, optimize test sets etc. to use less energy.
This slide deck is my keynote presentation from the software testing confererence SANAE.BEER.EX in Bratislava 8.11.2023.
Slides from DSTB conference talk at Copenhagen 31.10.2023. Recap of the Dragons Out book project. How children can learn software testing through a fantasy story approach. Why should they? To get them interested in software early on, some of them ending up as coders and some as testers later on. Some feedback about children learning, from teachers and from children themselves. An exploratory testing checklist inspired by children. Insights into how children test and how professional testers can utilize that knowledge.
Talk at Testwarez conference. I discussed the fact the climate impact of ICT and also software testing must be reduced. ICT also carries part of the carbon footprint, and even though we can help other industries minimize their carbon footprint, we can also minimize our own carbon footprint. It is there, and it can be significant if we don't optimize what we do.
I talk about test environments, using cloud, optimizing test suites, using automation for testing and for infrastructure and for continuous delivery. Throughout you can optimize.
Early quality means less cost, which luckily also means less climate impact, so it is easily argumented when making changes into how we create and test software.
Knights of Quality: Immersive talk about software testingKari Kakkonen
My talk at Findmore Academy in Portugal, online, on Oct 11, 2023. In the slides I discuss my own journey to be Knight of Quality but I also talk about other kinds of Knights, the knights the battle dragons, in the fantasy stories. The knights represent developers and testers, and the dragons represent defects. The talk also summarize how a fun way to learn testing (a fantasy story parallel) can give additional insights into everyday testing life.
My slides at SEETEST conference in Bucharest 20.9.2023 about climate impact of software testing, which is part of sustainability in software testing. I talk about Green ICT and Green Testing, and how Testing can measure also the Climate Impact of software in addition to other quality characteristics of testing. Also I discuss how test environments and other testing actions can include climate impact minimizing activities. Testing can both help coding become more green and also minimize the carbon footprint of itself.
I shared my views about how to become a multitalented tester in the Tester of the Year award event at Tieturi on 30.3.2023. The award is given annually by TestausOSY (FAST) and Tieturi. This event announced the 2022 winner and I presented as the 2021 winner.
The presentation discussed 5 aspects of Testing Roles, routes to testing, and adding new roles and skills to become even more multitalented. I also shared my journey to become a multitalented tester.
The slides are in English even though this time I talked in Finnish.
Becoming a Multitalented Tester - at KDSKari Kakkonen
My slides at Knowit Developer Summit on 3 Feb 2023 in Copenhagen. I talked about different skills and backgrounds that make a tester, then about adding roles to your profiles, learning those skills, having the alternative visions or futures for you so that you can take the opportunities when they arrive. At the end I shared my journey to be what I am today, and gave some practical tips into learning continuously. More info at https://www.dragonsout.com and at https://www.knowit.fi
The slides (in English, expect the title) of our "How to test an AI application?" webinar. Presenters in Finnish were Mark Sevalnev and Kari Kakkonen, using English slides. The webinar slides are partially from Knowit and partially (with permission) from Knowit's AI testing course material provider STA Consulting.
We gave a quick overview to AI/ML today, as such understanding is needed to be able to test software that has AI in it. Then we discussed how to test such an AI application with some examples.

My talk at JMTL conference in Casablanca, Morocco - 10 minute brief on why testing is an important thing to teach to children along with coding, how I set up a book project Dragons Out to author the book to teach software testing to children, how fantasy works as a great storytelling way to teach software testing to all ages (10-99), where the book is used in schools, exploratory testing checklist inspired by children.
Ohjelmistotestauksen opetuksen kokemuksia fantasiatarinan avullaKari Kakkonen
ITK-messujen esityksen 6.10.2022 jossa kerroin miksi testausta tarvitaan, miksi testausopetusta tarvitaan koodausopetuksen rinnalle, miten tein kirjaprojektin Dragons Out, jossa loin kirjan ohjelmistotestauksesta lapsille, miten fantasia toimii hyvänä tapana kertoa esimerkkien ja vertausten kautta ohjelmistotestauksesta, missä ja miten koulumaailma on hyödyntänyt tätä lähestymistapaa (ja kirjojani ja niiden ilmaisia oheismateriaaleja) - matematiikan ja koodauksen tunnit, 10-15 vuotiaat.
Becoming Multitalented Tester - Kari KakkonenKari Kakkonen
My slides at FiSTB Testing Assembly 2022 conference on 22.9.2022 https://testingassembly.fistb.fi/
I discussed the skills of testers, the background of testers, routes to be testing and finally how to become multitalented - meaning how you know many things, and can do many things. There's also an insight to my own career of adding up many roles within testing and around it, in Agile and DevOps.
Slides from Testit 2022 conference in Malmö, Sweden. I talked about my Dragons Out! book project to educate children about software testing, fantasy as a way to teach testing, experiences of how children learn testing, and also how adults can learn in a similar fashion.
How Children Learn Testing Kari Kakkonen Odin conference.pdfKari Kakkonen
My slides at Odin conference, Oslo, 25.11.2021 about How Children Learn Testing. I talked about the book project Dragons Out, things I've learned about how children learn testing, fantasy examples of how to tell about testing in a different way.
Insights from children about testing at NTD2022Kari Kakkonen
My slides from NTD2022 (Nordic Testing Days 2022) conference in Tallinn. I talked about "Insights from children about testing; how children who've read the Dragons Out book about software testing learn". The talk included a competition of drawing a knight (that represents a tester). The flow of the presentation: Dragons Out book project recap, why children should learn testing, how fantasy provides great analogies to explaining software testing, how children have learned through this fantasy approach, what are the six takeaways of how children learn and how can adults utilize those takeaways in their own learning, and testing.

27. Käytä tutkivaa testausta
• Skriptattu vs. Tutkiva testaus (Exploratory Testing (ET))
• ET on lähestymistapa, ei tekniikka
• Montaa testaustekniikkaa voi käyttää
• ET auttaa löytämään yllätyksiä, yhteistoiminnan vaikutuksia ja väärinymmärryksiä, joista ei ole ollut
mitään määrityksissä tai muissa testeissä
• Tehtävälomakkeet ja testaussessiot
• Sessiot tekevät ET:n mitattavaksi ja seurattavaksi
• Tehtävälomakkeet ja lokit tekevät ET:n dokumentoiduksi testaukseksi

“Tutkiva testaus on testauksen tyyli, jossa opit ohjelmistosta
samaan aikaan kuin suunnittelet ja ajat testejä, käyttäen
palautetta edellisestä testistä seuraavan testin päätöksiin”
