I gave this presentation at the Software Test Professional Conference in Miami in October 2012. This purpose of this presentation was to explain software testing heuristics - what they are, how to use and apply them and how to develop your own heuristics and mnemonics.

ehaviour-driven development (BDD) started as an improved variation on test-driven development, but has evolved to become a formidable tool that helps teams communicate more effectively about requirements, using conversation and concrete examples to discover what features really matter to the business. BDD helps teams focus not only on building features that work, but on ensuring that the features they deliver are the ones the client actually needs.
• Learn what BDD is, and what it is not
• Understand that the core of BDD is around conversation and requirements discovery, not around tools.
• Understand the difference and similarities between BDD at the requirements level, and BDD at the coding level.
Learn what BDD tools exist for different platforms, and when to use them.

Intelliware’s Chief Technologist, BC Holmes, provides a pragmatic overview of Agile testing. Complete with many examples, this presentation is ideal for those looking for a practical take on software testing in an Agile environment.
The presentation covers:
- Why do we use Agile testing?
- What Agile testing isn’t
- What Agile testing is: unit testing and test-driven development (TDD)
- High-level properties of good tests
- Testing in different languages
- Test suites and code coverage
- Using mock objects to help isolate units
- Beyond unit testing
Let's explore what is agile testing, how agile testing is different than traditional testing. What practices team has to adopt to have parallel testing and how to create your own test automation framework. Test automation frameworks using cucumber, selenium, junit, nunit, rspec, coded UI etc.
This is the chapter 3 of ISTQB Agile Tester Extension certification. This presentation helps aspirants understand and prepare content of certification.
Agile Testing - presentation for Agile User Groupsuwalki24.pl
Agile testing was present on Agile User Group. Presentation covers all aspects of testing on agile process, highlight the role of automation and issues with managing it.
Agile Methodology is not new. Many organisations / teams have already adopted Agile way of Software Development or are in the enablement journey for the same. What does this mean for Testing? There is no doubt that the Testing approach and mindset also needs to change to be in tune with the Agile Development methodology.
Learn what does it mean to Test on Agile Projects and how Test Automation approach needs to change for the team to be successful! Also learn why is Test Automation important, and how do we implement a good, robust, scalable and maintainable Test Automation framework!

Although not an entirely new concept, Platform Engineering and Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) are all the rage due to their potential to increase development velocity and deployment frequency while boosting reliability and security.
Join Joe Dahlquist, VP of PMM and Mohamed Ahmed, VP of Developer Platforms at Weaveworks to learn the 6 tell-tale signs your company should implement a platform engineering approach. The webinar draws on hundreds of conversations with SRE’s, developers, and platform engineering teams to help you better understand what works, what doesn’t and what might be missing from your strategy. Attendees can apply these learnings to their first (or next) developer platform regardless of your build vs. buy journey.
You will learn:
* The difference between Internal Developer Platforms and Platform Engineering
* Why platform engineering now?
* How Dev and Ops benefit from an IDP
* 6 tell-tale signs to start platform engineering
* Drafting your platform engineering strategy - where to begin and what to avoid

Tips for Writing Better Charters for Exploratory Testing Sessions by Michael...TEST Huddle
We will look at some common pitfalls encountered when chartering your testing for session-based exploratory testing. After a brief overview of the session-based test management process we will jump into specific practices and techniques to help you and the rest of your team achieve better coverage and find better bugs. A presentation for the EuroSTAR Software Testing Community from September 2012.
I gave this keynote at the Software Test Professional Conference in Miami in October 2012. This purpose of this presentation was to discuss the difficulties of distraction, loss of focus and procrastination and how those obstacles impact our ability to be disciplined, focused and to get out work done. I kicked off the presentation with a showing of the Marshmellow Test which can be found on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX_oy9614HQ
Presented at CQAA in Chicago June 2014.
Many testing teams are outsourced, using people from other companies and other countries. In many cases, neither the test manager nor the testers ever meet in person. And in these situations, most often, the time differences and cultural differences between people add more obstacles to navigate. While CEOs and other executives extol the virtues of achieving work in another country while we are asleep here in the States, as the test manager or team lead, you have the practical concerns of getting the right work done without the advantage of having staff onsite or staff working the same hours. As a software test consultant, Karen N. Johnson has worked with several clients who have outsourced and offshored testing. She’s worked on waterfall and Agile projects with team members in different countries. Karen will share tips on how to get to know your offshore testers, how to communicate work tasks and how to request (and review) status reporting. Karen shares her thoughts on how to bridge the gaps in offshore testing.
storytelling
An older presentation (2008) on using storytelling at work - focused for software testers but could be helpful for other people and professionals.
As software testers, we need to learn a product thoroughly, we need to understand the user interface, the audience, the intended use of a product and we need to know how a product has been built so that we can test and investigate the robustness and readiness of a product. So we ask lots of questions. We ask designers, developers, product owners and many other people questions throughout our day and yet, rarely do we stop to recognize the skill of asking questions, let alone focus on how we might improve our approach to asking questions. Listen to the webinar as Karen Johnson talks about the art of asking questions. At the end of the session, you can ask her questions too.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
