Alan is a new tester working on a project with a new business, team, and challenges. He starts by planning test designs and tool selection, and choosing areas for manual and automated testing. Although he finds some bugs, the same tests are being repeated without finding new defects. To address this, Alan engages in user acceptance testing, having business users test the application to find bugs under real-life conditions. His goals are to reduce costs, prevent production defects, provide quality information, and gain confidence, while also building rapport with stakeholders to identify product value and support customer retention.

Death of Inspection : Reincarnation of Testing Community
The document discusses the transition from an inspection testing model to a more collaborative testing model between testers and developers.
Some key challenges with the inspection model included long regression cycles due to late defect detection, high manual testing workloads, and testers focusing only on defect detection. The new model emphasized automating checks, placing tests closer to their origin like unit tests, and collaborating between testers and developers from the start.
This led to improvements like reduced manual testing workloads, defects found earlier, tests maintained with code changes, and shorter regression periods. It created a more efficient testing process and quality approach owned by the entire team rather than just testers.
Agile testing
This document discusses agile testing methodology. It begins with general concepts of agile testing such as testing from the customer perspective as early as possible. It then discusses agile testing methodology, challenges, test levels from first to third view perspectives involving extreme testing, exploratory testing, and collaboration between development and testing. The document also covers benefits of being an agile tester such as working as one team towards a common goal. In conclusion, it states that agile testing is useful, less time consuming and effective from the customer's point of view when automated testing is performed and developers, testers and customers work together as a team.
From mini waterfall to scrum
This document summarizes the transition of a large software development team from a hybrid "Mini Waterfall-Scrum" approach to fully embracing Scrum practices. It outlines issues they encountered initially like accumulating technical debt and many bugs. They then prepared for changes, defined a "Definition of Done", formed cross-functional teams, increased testing, and reduced work-in-progress. This led to positive results like reduced bugs, the first bug-free user stories, stable bug fix times, decreased technical debt, and improved release cycles. The presentation concludes that taking risks to make incremental changes aligned with Agile principles can successfully improve outcomes.
Agile Testing - Not Just Tester’s Story _ Dang Thanh Long
This topic will focus on how testing should be understood/supported/changed for all levels including customer, executives and development team (Dev, QA…) during adopting Agile methodologies, especially testing mindset. Besides that, this topic could also cover some lessons learnt from some Agile testing practices.
Shift left
Shift left testing involves moving testing as far left or as early in the development process as possible to find and prevent defects early. This is opposed to traditional testing, which only occurred right before release. Shift left testing improves quality by identifying issues early when they are cheaper to fix. While shift left is often best, shift right testing post-production may also be useful in some cases to enhance customer experience and ensure proper test coverage and automation. To shift left, organizations can engage stakeholders early, do static testing of requirements and design, and see benefits like increased automation, delivery speed, and satisfaction.

AME Conference - Best Practice L-3 Wescam - Quick Hits An Engagement StrategyErin Swindall, PMP, LSSBB
The document discusses using "Quick Hits" to engage employees in continuous improvement efforts at a company. It summarizes the history of Quick Hits, which initially achieved 1.5 Quick Hits per employee but was improved through facilitated blitzes. Blitzes produced over $1.36 million in savings from 90 quality improvements. Next steps include expanding Quick Hits beyond operations areas and having employee teams conduct their own blitzes to solve problems.Testers, while you were sleeping: The DevOps Tsunami
The document discusses the history and principles of DevOps and continuous testing. It traces the concepts back to thinkers like Deming and his 14 points of quality management. Key figures like Ohno, Goldratt, the Poppendiecks, Ries and Sinek contributed lean principles like eliminating waste and continuous improvement. While DevOps aims to shift culture and testing left in the cycle, surveys find teams still struggle with test coverage, manual processes and measuring success metrics like customer satisfaction. Adopting DevOps and new tools does not guarantee quality or speed and many teams still face bugs and delays.

Product Experimentation Pitfalls & How to Avoid Them
This document discusses building a culture of experimentation to drive product innovation. It advocates embracing failure and validating decisions with data rather than following orders or claiming success. The document outlines approaches to experimentation like frequent small releases, feature flagging, and A/B testing. It also describes four common pitfalls to avoid: optimizing the wrong metrics, getting tricked by statistics, thinking too small with only A/B tests, and hoarding insights rather than sharing learnings. The overall message is that organizations should aim to conduct thousands of experiments annually to iteratively improve products and scale an experimentation mindset throughout the company.
Exploratory Testing and Automated Testing: Create a Healthy Relationship

Notes to Myself: Product Backlog
The document discusses notes on creating an effective product backlog, including breaking backlog items into small, testable pieces that are clearly defined and immediately actionable to developers, with estimates provided by the implementing team. It cautions that a poor product backlog can reduce team performance by at least 50% and result in more unused features and lower quality, citing a source that estimates overall performance may be only 17.5% of what it could be with an ineffective backlog.
Tackling software testing challenges in the agile era
This document provides an overview of testing challenges in the Agile development era and discusses different testing methodologies. It contains introductions to four chapters that will be included in the eBook. The chapters are written by Vu Lam, CEO of QASymphony, and Sellers Smith, Director of Quality Assurance and Agile Evangelist for Silverpop.
The first chapter discusses how testers need to be reimagined for the Agile age. Testers must adopt an Agile mindset and be involved earlier in the development process. They also need tools designed specifically for Agile testing. The second chapter explores different testing methods including automated, exploratory, and user acceptance testing. It advises using
Knowledge Management
This document discusses knowledge management and compares pre-Agile and Agile methodologies. It provides an overview of Scrum, Waterfall, and Agile approaches. Agile emphasizes incremental work in short iterations, while Waterfall is sequential. TCS applies Agile concepts to accelerate time to market and align products with customer expectations. The document also outlines challenges with Agile including active user involvement and frequent delivery. Finally, it discusses how TCS used an Agile approach to help a bank reduce process deployment time, review cycles, and status meeting time.
Deploying Fearlessly in a Continuous World
The document discusses techniques for continuously deploying software updates including automated testing, staged releases, blue-green deployments, and feature flags. It provides examples of how Optimizely uses these techniques including feature flags for A/B tests and staged rollouts. Best practices are outlined such as regularly reviewing flags to avoid technical debt, having a code ownership strategy, employing proper testing and QA, and embracing feature flag-driven development.
Shift Left Testing: Going Beyond Agile
The concept of “shifting testing left” in the software development lifecycle is not new. Shifting testing from manual to automated and then upstream into engineering is a driving factor in DevOps and agile software development. However, Michael Nauman wonders why test automation, DevOps, and agile software development still frequently fail to deliver on their promises? Aligning and hardening your DevOps and test automation—along with streamlining your agile processes—is critical to your project. Michael shares how AutoCAD’s shifting testing left enabled improvements within their engineering team. Learn how the team increased engineering reliability and velocity, and forced process changes upstream into design and research all the way through to product support. Leave knowing why the concept of separation of concerns with regards to quality is as fundamental as the separation of code quality from product quality. Learn how the AutoCAD web team used process dogma and ruthless prioritization to combat metric idolatry and the host of other evils that hold teams back from fully realizing their potential and going beyond agile.

Many testers are not clear about their roles in their Agile teams, especially if they have been familiar with the traditional waterfall testing model. This presentation aims to clarify typical tester’s roles and responsibilities on Agile projects. It suggests useful testers’ mindset in working in Agile teams. The presentation also shares ways to collaborate with key stakeholders including customers (or product owners), developers, and other members in Agile teams. Having proper understanding of their roles and responsibilities together with applying their skillsets, testers would do a better job in Agile projects.The agile way: the complete guide to understanding agile methodologies
The document provides an overview of Agile testing methodologies including Scrum, Kanban, Test Driven Development (TDD), Behavioral Driven Development (BDD), and Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD). It explains that as software development has increasingly adopted Agile methods, testing teams face both challenges and opportunities to work more collaboratively at a faster pace. It recommends that testers develop a comprehensive understanding of Agile practices and emerging methodologies in order to thrive in this new environment.
Solving Flaky Automated Tests Using Machine Learning
James Farrier founded Appsurify to address test automation challenges, particularly unreliable or "flaky" tests that fail unexpectedly. The document discusses various causes of flaky tests and strategies for handling them, including manually or automatically removing flaky tests from runs, fixing the tests, rerunning tests, using bots to quarantine flaky results, prioritizing relevant tests for changes, and employing classification algorithms to detect flaky tests. The key challenges are scaling the efforts while still allowing tests to run and find defects.
O'Reilly Webcast: How Nordstrom Prepares Its Site for Holidays and Major Events
This document discusses how to prepare a website for holidays and major events by focusing on performance. It recommends taking a continuous improvement approach of analyzing site usage data, testing for performance issues, and monitoring site performance during events. Key steps include studying past events to understand customer impacts, projecting future usage, contingency planning, and building a feedback loop between development, product management, and engineering. The goal is to adopt a culture where performance is a key feature and the site is always being prepared through continuous delivery, instrumentation, and addressing issues before they affect customers.
SOASTA Webinar: Process Compression For Mobile App Dev 120612
The webinar discusses continuous integration and automation for mobile development and testing. It presents tools from Atlassian, Zephyr, and SOASTA that can help automate the mobile development and testing process. Continuous integration with Bamboo can help developers integrate code changes more frequently and fail builds faster to catch bugs earlier. Zephyr provides test management to centralize test assets and provide visibility. SOASTA offers tools for test automation, real user monitoring, and performance/load testing to help achieve test completion with quality. Together these tools can help speed up the mobile development process through continuous integration, test automation, and visibility into the testing process.
Tablet tools and micro tasks
This document summarizes a study that used a micro-task tablet application to test operator performance with innovative versus conventional control room displays. Over 5 hours of simulator time with 20 operators, the study collected over 6,800 data points on response times and accuracy for identification and decision-making tasks. The results showed that operators were significantly faster with the innovative displays compared to conventional, with only slightly lower accuracy. The innovative displays were found to be as reliable as conventional displays but faster to read. Next steps discussed include comparing analog control room performance to a human-machine laboratory and obtaining reference data.

Leading with Quality
In the software industry you'll often hear the words Testing, Quality Assurance [QA] and Quality Control [QC] used interchangeably and very frequently. While it is usually enough to get your point across with a developer, it is certainly helpful to know more about how these apply to the world of software testing. So, what exactly the difference between QC and QA and how can you get from one destination to another? This presentation attempts to shed some light on this and will be taking you through various QA best practices and how we can collectively build and grow the next breed of intelligent QA Engineers
New Product Launch Failure Avoidance
A lecture for startup & established companies on the interferences and barriers (some real, some percieved) to executing the operational launch of their products (NPD, NPI, Phase Gates). How to work with contract manufactures, evaluate their cost model, where the biggest opportunities for risk reside in the entire process. This is a series done by an expert in the field, this removes the academic aspects of launching products and focuses on practical, relevant, innovative demonstrations. So of course the slide deck cannot possibly reveal what’s fully entailed in the short workshop. Feel free to contact dan@productrevolution.org for details.
Challenges with measuring quality for agile distributed research type project
The document discusses challenges with quality assurance for distributed agile teams. Initial challenges included building quality in from the start rather than adding it later, addressing the different nature of research projects, and missing a focus on addressing quality early. It then describes the product development organization structure and quality assurance team structure, emphasizing a sustainable test team structure and encouraging pair testing. The rest of the document provides solutions and best practices for quality assurance, including applying lean principles to prevent defects, using risk-based testing strategies, creating test plans with a big picture view, focusing on communication between testers and customers, and emphasizing automated testing, continuous integration, and continuous improvement.

7 steps to Software test automation success
Ten steps to test automation success are outlined. The key steps are to improve testing processes, define requirements, prove automation concepts, design products for testability, create sustainable test designs, plan deployments, and address challenges. Test automation can significantly reduce testing effort and increase coverage, but requires careful test selection, design, and addressing common problems like lack of goals, experience, and understanding of new technologies.
Fundamentals_of_Software_testing.pptx
The document provides an overview of software testing fundamentals including definitions of testing, why testing is necessary, quality versus testing, general testing vocabulary, testing objectives, and general testing principles. It defines software testing as verifying and validating that software meets requirements, works as expected, and discusses how testing is needed because humans make mistakes and software errors can have expensive and dangerous consequences. The document also provides definitions of quality, contrasts popular versus technical views of quality, and outlines key aspects of quality like functionality, reliability, and value.

Reaching for Your Quality Stretch Goals: Testing at Realtor.com
A/B Testing
If you are not familiar yet, an introduction to A/B testing and how you can leverage this approach to truly measure customer impact before and after a change. It's a practice highly leveraged in the e-commerce and cloud space to truly measure the impact of a change and be able to iterate through it till you see the desired outcome.
Where in your stack to invest in test automation
This short talk will explain in which layer to invest in test automation and the pros and cons. Too many teams still invest heavily in automated UI testing which then results in large test automation suites once the platform grows while still not being able to catch critical quality issues before they reach customers.
Testing for reliability, resilience and recovery
Your customer experience is also impacted by how reliable your application is. How do you test for reliability. But also how do you build and test for resilience, as guaranteed reliability is unachievable and the closer you get the costlier it becomes. Lastly how do you test for recovery, so once an outage or partial outage happened how to you recover, and how do you prepare for that recovery.
How to Select the Right ALT Approach
This document discusses different approaches to accelerated life testing (ALT). It introduces the thought process for selecting an ALT approach, discusses trade-off decisions, and enables selecting the right approach for a given situation. The key approaches discussed are: real-time testing with no constraints; time compression testing using increased usage cycles; applying an acceleration model relating stress to life; step stress testing; degradation testing; and Weibull success testing. Guiding principles are to respect constraints, use real usage conditions, minimize assumptions, and focus on failure mechanisms.
ISTQB agile tester exam - Conclusions about Certification
This document discusses the ISTQB Agile Tester certification. It provides an overview of agile software development practices like Scrum, Kanban, and user stories. It discusses the tester's role in agile projects, including automating tests, collaborating with developers, and responding quickly to changes. It recommends preparing for the certification by reading materials from ISTQB and other sources, and gaining experience with agile testing practices on the job. Earning the ISTQB Agile Tester certification validates knowledge of agile principles and how to effectively test in agile environments.
Tune Agile Test Strategies to Project and Product Maturity
For optimum results, you need to tune agile project's test strategies to fit the different stages of project and product maturity. Testing tasks and activities should be lean enough to avoid unnecessary bottlenecks and robust enough to meet your testing goals. Exploring what "quality" means for various stakeholder groups, Anna Royzman describes testing methods and styles that fit best along the maturity continuum. Anna shares her insights on strategic ways to use test automation, when and how to leverage exploratory testing as a team activity, ways to prepare for live pilots and demos of the real product, approaches to refine test coverage based on customer feedback, and techniques for designing a production "safety net" suite of automated tests. Leave with a better understanding of how to satisfy your stakeholders’ needs for quality-and a roadmap for tuning your agile test strategies.
Continuous testing in agile projects 2015
This document discusses continuous testing in an agile environment. It defines continuous testing as testing throughout the development process to identify bugs early. It explains that continuous testing helps control side effects, avoid defects, support multiple environments, get fast results, anticipate risks, and create reliable processes. The document provides an overview of how continuous testing works, including test environments, data management, automatic deployment, and test automation. It also discusses creating a continuous testing project, the agile test process, and how to implement effective continuous testing to improve quality and business value.
Quality Not Compromise; Best Practices for Automated Testing
Test automation can help your team deliver products faster with fewer bugs.
But test automation tools like Selenium scatter your testing data. You have to manually compile test reports for both manual and automated testing efforts.
How do you consolidate your testing without compromising delivery?
In this webinar, we cover:
-What automated testing tools (like Selenium) are good for.
-How to overcome automated testing challenges.
-When to integrate automated testing tools with Helix ALM.
