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.
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.

My presentation at German Testing Days online conference on May 3 2022, about how children learn software testing and what can we adults take away from that learning. I consider the Dragons Out book project, explain why software testing is needed, and why for children, too. Then I go on to explain how fantasy works as a way to teach testing, and share insights from how that works. The slides are an evolution of my presentations on the topic, this one broadest so far. In the end there's also a drawing exercise: imagine a defect and draw it as a dragon. In the conference I set out a competition with a book prize for the lucky winner! Amazing illustration by Adrienn Szell!
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.

Software Craftsmanship and Agile Code GamesMike Clement
Join us to talk about what it means to be a software craftsman, how the Software Craftsmanship Manifesto (http://manifesto.softwarecraftsmanship.org/) provides a framework for us to improve.
A large part of being a software craftsman is practice. Using different "code games" we can have a full toolbelt of activities that will help us (and those around us) become better at our craft.
Agile software development promises the ability to deliver value quickly. But this isn’t just a matter of process. Uncle Bob says "the only way to go fast is to go well." But how do we go well? As software developers, we can only deliver features as fast as the code base and our skills allow us. Unfortunately the quality of our code base is directly related to our skill in the past.
Musicians and athletes spend most of their time practicing, not performing. As software developers (aspiring craftsmen) we must have practice sessions that allow us to improve our skills and develop better “code sense”. We’ll look at some different “agile code games” that will help us improve our craft.
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
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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.

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!

35. 6 ways for children to learn testing -
takeaways
• Start with a Fantasy example, explain into ICT-world
• Be extremely clear and concise
• 5-minutes of theory, 20-minutes of exercise structure
• Use all the senses (listen, see, talk, draw dragons)
• Use common sharing of exercise results (e.g. Padlet)
• Try out your test ideas immediately to an app of your choice
36. 6 ways for adults to learn testing - takeaways
• Use examples and analogues from real-life
• Be extremely clear and concise
• Hands-on, mostly exercises in the learning
• Use all the senses (listen, see, talk, draw mindmaps)
• Use common workspace for real-time status of testing (e.g. Mural, Miro)
• Get your hands dirty and test some (buggy) software immediately &
explain how you test it
• These are extrapolated from the findings how children learn best.
37. Analogues, parallells
• Talk about day-to-day
life to drive your point
• Cars
• Hobbies
• Sports
• Pets
• Family

39. Hands-on, exercises
• Competencies can be
achieved by performing
hands-on exercises
• Exercises e.g. on
• Setting up and using test
environments.
• Testing applications on virtual
and physical devices.
• Using tools on desktops
and/or mobile devices to test
or assist in testing related
tasks such as installation,
querying, logging, monitoring,
taking screenshots etc.
• Basically, hands-on
learning is learning by doing
