Last year, three leading software doctors pronounced testing dead. As we mourn the alegded demise of our craft - questions raise as what to do next? This talk analyses the meaning and impact of death of testing. The talk then deliberates on potential next steps and challenges ahead of us.
Typical software testers focus on learning ‘Hard’ skills associated with the responsibilities of their role. However, these skills allow them to become a "Dependable" or "Knowledgeable" tester, rather than a "Great" tester. What are the skills necessary to take you to the next level within your ladder of testing career, to become someone known as "Great" tester? This presentation will identify some of the key skills that can take you to the next level and provides an easy-to-follow roadmap on mastering those skills.
These slides provide an introduction to usability testing. This well-known method in user-centred design is used to improve products, by having participants interact with these products and by measuring their performances and responses.
I presented this topic as a guest lecturer to first-year Psychology students at the University of Twente at February 6th, 2017. Providing examples and best practices from Dutch digital design agency Mirabeau, I explained to them the required steps for the preparation, the moderation, and the analysis of usability tests. Moreover, I highlighted the importance of psychologists’ knowledge, (research) methods and skills for design, which I believe to be invaluable.

Challenges to Effective Performance Testing in CIFederico Toledo
https://agiletestingdays.us/session/challenges-to-effective-performance-testing-in-ci/
Performance testing in CI is a must. If you are looking to invest effort and money in it, you’ll better take certain things into account from day one.
How do you manage to run a performance test against each service of your system? And what about running almost every day, all the tests? It's essential to take into consideration important aspects from the beginning to get the most out of it. Yes, it's a big effort, but it’s worth it. We want to share our experience and lessons learned from working with different teams in charge of maintaining tests and the infrastructure for continuous integration focused on the performance testing tasks.

About Joseph Ours' Presentation – “Bad Metric – Bad!”
Metrics have always been used in corporate sectors, primarily as a way to gain insight into what is an otherwise invisible world. Organizations blindly adopt a set of metrics as a way of satisfying some process transparency requirement, rarely applying any statistical or scientific thought behind the measures and metrics they establish and interpret. Many metrics do not represent what people believe they do and as a result can lead to erroneous decisions. Joseph looks at some of the common and some of the humorous testing metrics and determines why they are failures. He further discusses the real purpose of metrics, metrics programs and finishes with pitfalls into which you fall.

Software Testing in the Agile World
Website: www.hcmc-stc.org
Author: Lee Copeland
The IEEE 829 Test Documentation standard is thirty years old this year. Boris Beizer’s first book on software testing also turned thirty. Testing Computer Software, the best selling book on software testing, is twenty-five. During the last three decades, hardware platforms have evolved from mainframes to minis to desktops to laptops to tablets to smartphones. Development paradigms have shifted from waterfall to agile. Consumers expect more functionality, demand higher quality, and are less loyal to brands. The world has changed dramatically and testing must change to match it. Testing processes that helped us succeed in the past may prevent our success in the future. Lee Copeland shares his insights into the future of testing, sharing his Do’s and Don’ts in the areas of technology, organization, test processes, test plans, and automation. Join Lee for a thought provoking look at creating a better testing future.
This talk suggests how we might make sense of the tools landscape of the near future, where the pressure to modernise processes and automate is greatest, and what a new test process supported by tools might look like.
Takeaways:
- We need to take machine learning in testing seriously, but it won’t be taking our jobs just yet
- We don’t need more test automation tools; today we need tools that capture tester knowledge
- Tools that that learn and think can’t work for testers until we solve the knowledge capture challenge.

You want to integrate skilled testing and development work. But how do you accomplish this without developers accidentally subverting the testing process or testers becoming an obstruction? Efficient, deep testing requires “critical distance” from the development process, commitment and planning to build a testable product, dedication to uncovering the truth, responsiveness among team members, and often a skill set that developers alone—or testers alone—do not ordinarily possess. James Bach presents a model—a redesign of the famous Agile Testing Quadrants that distinguished between business vs. technical facing tests and supporting vs. critiquing―that frames these dynamics and helps teams think through the nature of development and testing roles and how they might blend, conflict, or support each other on an Agile project. James includes a brief discussion of the original Agile Testing Quadrants model, which the presenters believe has created much confusion about the role of testing in Agile.

Software Testing in the Agile World
Website: www.hcmc-stc.org
Author: Lee Copeland
Over the years writers have defined testing as a process of finding, a process of evaluating, a process of measuring, a process of improving. For a quarter of a century we as testers have been focused on the internal process of testing, while generally disregarding its real purpose. The real purpose of testing is to create information. James Bach nailed it when he wrote, “The ultimate reason testers exist is to provide information that others on the project use to create things of value.” That is why testing exists — to provide information of value. So, when managers complain that testing “costs too much” perhaps they are really trying to say, “I’m not getting enough valuable information to justify the cost of testing.” When testers say “my management doesn’t see the value in our work” perhaps they are really trying to say, “My management doesn’t value the information I’m providing to them.” To prove our worth, to increase the value of testing, we must first focus on testing’s purpose — providing valuable information — not its process. Join Lee as he discusses why quantifying the value of testing is difficult work — perhaps that’s why we concentrate so much on testing process—that’s much easier. But until we do this difficult work, until we prove our worth through quantifying our contribution, we should expect the bombardments to continue.

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.
