A successful startup/product company needs to master the art of validating early product ideas quickly and effectively. Whether you are building a product, service or a new feature, the two most important questions to find out early are:
* are we solving the right problem?
* if yes, how do we pitch the idea to the target customer to generate a favourable action?
During this session, we'll focus on various safe-fail experimentation techniques used by Lean Startups for quickly identifying and validating the customer's value hypothesis, without having to build the real product. You will leave this session equipped with various MVP design techniques, that will allow you to rapidly discover a viable product/service that delights your customers, without spending a lot of time and effort.
Traditionally, entrepreneurs believed that the only way to test their product/service hypothesis was to build the best-in-class product/service in that category, launch it, and then pray. Most often, products/services fail, not because they cannot be built or delivered. But because, they lack the market-fitment and customer appeal.
To avoid these risks, these days startups are focusing on building a "Minimum Viable Product" (MVP), a product that includes just enough core features to allow useful feedback from early adopters. This reduces the time to market and allows the company to build subsequent customer-driven versions of the product. Hence mitigating the likelihood of wasting time on features that nobody wants. MVPs are typically deployed to a subset of customers, such as early adopters that are more forgiving, more likely to give valuable feedback.
However the problem with MVPs is that companies still spend too much time building stuff and very little time learning. Don't forget the purpose of MVP is validated learning NOT building. This session will give you ideas on how to quickly formulate and test your value and growth hypothesis in a scientific framework using extremely cheap MVP techniques collectively referred to as MVP Design Hacks.

Engineering leaders from eBay and Walmart discuss how they tackle test automation, testing data, accessibility and other areas within their departments.
Everybody knows all about lean startup, MVP, customer development and product/market fit (or at least, we hope everybody does). The key tenets make total sense: MVP as the smallest possible thing you can build to complete a build-measure-learn cycle; the need for speed; charge from day one if you can and so on. A software startup can easily go through two or three build-measure-learn cycle in a couple of months.
But what if your startup is creating a hardware product, where it takes 6 months or more to manufacture the smallest possible thing you can test with?
In this talk we will explore creative ways to apply key tenets of lean startup and customer development to hardware startups (ranging from consumer electronics to industrial products), where each product development and manufacturing cycle can run 6 months or longer. With minor tweaks, the same principles that help build great software startups quickly can be used to avoid capital expenditure mistakes in hardware startups. Join the conversation.

Amp Up Your Testing by Harnessing Test DataTechWell
The data tsunami is coming—or maybe it’s already here. Data science, big data, and machine learning are the buzzwords of the day. Data is changing our products and the way we build them, so we should also change the way we verify our products. In a world of increasing connectivity and accelerated deadlines, data can provide an edge. But what role should data play in assessing the quality of software? Where does it make sense to use data, and where is it inappropriate? Steve Rowe covers the history of how data fits into testing, explains why data is an important tool to have in your quality toolkit, and presents strategies for adding data to your testing plans and using it more effectively in your testing.

UXPA 2013: Effectively Communicating User Research FindingsJim Ross
Communicating user research findings effectively so that people can understand them, believe them, and know how to act on the recommendations can be challenging. You may feel that you’ve delivered a successful presentation, but later you find that the recommendations aren’t acted upon. Ideally, our clients are as interested in our user research findings and recommendations as we are and find them valuable, but without the proper understanding, clients can express a variety of negative reactions. This presentation will discuss best practices in communicating user research findings to avoid these problems and to lead to better outcomes.

What does it mean to be a test engineer?Andrii Dzynia
Test engineering is hard, even harder than software development. Being test engineer puts you in a wider context, with no clear boundaries. You have to find those by yourself. This requires courage. Courage to take action, courage to make mistakes. As a test engineer, you do mistakes every day. You do them so often that sometimes you feel you can predict the future. Scientific explanation to this phenomena is patterns recognition. It is an ability of our brain to match the information from a stimulus with information retrieved from memory. Defect prevention is hard. Together with technical skills one have to develop high social awareness. Working on safety nets never was so important, different types of checks on different levels to make sure software is reliable and serves its purpose to the variety of everyday use-cases. We know that life is so complex and sometimes complicated which makes it impossible to predict all possible outcomes and scenarios. But striving for excellence never was so important as nowadays in such an open, transparent and competitive environment.
Goal of my talk will be to show you my everyday job as a test engineer. Not only how to look for defects, but how to prevent them from happening. Not only how to automate tests(noun), but how to build safety nets to minimize end-user impact. Not only how to inform testing status but how to influence quality on company level.

Following Kurt, Headspring's EVP of Operations, Glenn Burnside, walks through practical application best practices.
Continuous Testing through Service VirtualizationTechWell
The demand to accelerate software delivery and for teams to continuously test and release high quality software sooner has never been greater. However, whether your release strategy is based on schedule or quality, the entire delivery process hits the wall when agility stops at testing. When software or services that are part of the delivered system, or required environments are unavailable for testing, the entire team suffers. Al Wagner explains how to remove these testing interruptions, decrease project risk, and release higher quality software sooner. Using a real-life example, learn how service virtualization can be applied across the lifecycle to shift integration, functional, and performance testing to the left. Gain an understanding of how service virtualization can be incorporated into your automated build and deployment process, making continuous testing a reality for your organization. Learn what service virtualization can do for you and your stakeholders. The ROI is worth it!
The Leaders Guide to Getting Started with Automated TestingJames Briers
Conventional testing is yesterday’s news, is required but needs the same overhaul that has happened in development. It needs to be a slicker operation that really identifies the risk associated with release and protects the business from serious system failure. The only way to achieve this is to remove the humans, they are prone to error, take a long time, cost a lot of money and don’t always do what they are told.
Automation needs to be adopted as a total process, not a bit part player. Historically automation has focussed on the User Interface, which can be a start, but is often woefully lacking. Implementing an Automation Eco-System, sees automation drive through to the interface or service layer, enabling far higher reuse of automated scripts, encompasses the environment and the test data within it’s strategy, providing a robust, repeatable and reusable asset.
Don’t just automate the obvious. Automation is not a black box testing technique. Rather it is mirroring the development and building an exercise schedule for the code. Take your testing to the next level and realise the real benefits of a modern Automation Eco-system.
Learn how to use prototyping and usability testing as a means to validate proposed functionality and designs before you invest in development. SOMETIMES there is a huge disconnect between the people who make a product and the people who use it. Usability testing is vital to uncovering the areas where these disconnects happen. In this symposium you will learn the steps to conduct a successful usability test. This includes tips and real life examples on how to plan the tests, recruit users, facilitate the sessions, analyze the data, and communicate the results.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
