This document discusses the importance of customer relationship management (CRM) systems for car dealerships. It notes that 69% of car buyers visit dealerships without calling or emailing first, so dealerships should focus their efforts on in-showroom sales. Effective CRM systems integrate customer data and follow-up processes to track sales opportunities and ensure accountability. When implementing a new CRM system, dealerships need buy-in from all employees by linking the system to clear benefits like increased sales.

Remi Hansen - Test Strategies Are 90% Waste - EuroSTAR 2013TEST Huddle
- The document discusses anti-patterns in test strategies that waste time, such as overly long documents following templates exactly and writing for the wrong audience.
- It recommends that test strategies be concise and focus on communicating the most important choices to management to gain support, rather than documenting all details.
- Key elements to include on just a few slides are the objectives, types of testing, roles, and resources needed; more details belong in test plans rather than strategies.

This document discusses using specification by example (SBE) to test rich client GUI applications. It describes using a tool called TextTest that allows writing tests using a domain language and automatically records the GUI interactions and assertions. Tests in TextTest have two parts - a use case section describing actions in domain language terms, and an automatically generated GUI log section capturing screen contents. This allows testing applications by their specifications before code is written and preserves requirements as living documentation through automated regression tests.

The document discusses how software testing is evolving and the need for evidence in highly regulated environments. It notes that testers' mindsets need to change from just passing tests to documentation and validation. Both informal and formal testing processes are discussed, and it is suggested to manage informal testing through sessions and add more variety like automation and collaboration. The challenges of transitioning to agile methodologies are also presented. Overall, it argues for a balanced, evidence-based approach to testing through various techniques and an emphasis on continuous learning.

Adrian Rapan - Questioning Acceptance Tests - EuroSTAR 2013TEST Huddle
Acceptance tests are commonly used to validate software but they can be improved. While acceptance tests provide value, solely relying on them has drawbacks such as being too late in the development process to detect architectural flaws. An alternative is to implement property-based testing which can validate software at different levels of abstraction earlier in development.

Venture Stream's Digital Director, Marty Hayes, presented on one of their favourite topics, Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) as part of Service Network's events series.
The document provides advice on how to effectively pitch a startup to venture capitalists (VCs). It recommends focusing the pitch on:
1) A concise elevator pitch that explains the problem, solution, and market opportunity in 2 sentences or less.
2) Demonstrating the size and growth of the target market with statistics.
3) Showcasing the startup's solution and any proprietary technology advantages over competitors through a demo, screenshots, or video.
4) Explaining the business model and how the startup plans to generate revenue and become profitable or break even.
Eric Reiss discusses three cases of poor customer service from British Airways, eBay, and Wine.com. He argues that customer service is about managing moments of truth and meeting customer expectations. Companies fail when they don't address customer pain points, overemphasize metrics, or don't encourage feedback. Good service helps, enhances, or fixes customer problems simply and without wasting their time.

Quantifying Customer Experience - Presented at Customer Experience Design 2013clarityrules
This document discusses the evolution of customer analytics from Eras 1.0 to 4.0. Era 1.0 focused on internal metrics by business unit. Era 2.0 adopted a customer point of view and used metrics like NPS. Era 3.0 linked metrics like NPS to business outcomes. Era 4.0 uses advanced analytics and topological data analysis to generate insights without predefined questions, allowing unexpected discoveries. The document advocates moving from basic reporting to exploring data interactively to generate insights that improve customer experience and business performance.

This document discusses optimizing websites for users rather than clicks. It emphasizes understanding users as people through techniques like feedback surveys, usability testing, and session recording. Google Analytics can provide some user insights but has limitations without custom data. The document recommends starting with a feedback survey to directly ask users about their experiences and goals.
Cyber Threats and Data Privacy in a Digital Worldqubanewmedia
The document discusses changes in website management and content management systems between 2010 and 2017. Specifically, it notes that (1) there is more technology and customer browsing online, requiring better integration and more innovative approaches; (2) content management systems now have more features but choices are harder with more options available; and (3) website managers must know more with higher consequences for failure and more pressure to create good ideas.
The document discusses setting up a website and optimizing it for search engine results. It emphasizes that keywords should match what people search for and that pages should contain text with relevant keywords. Long-tail, more specific keywords are generally better than generic terms as they have less competition. Properly optimized title tags, descriptions and on-page text are important for search engines to understand the topic of a page and potentially show it in results.
Why i want to work in a call center (and why i ultimately don't)Steve Talks
Recently I was called by a call center agent. I was surprised that companies still apply the same old marketing mistakes. Call center and customer service agents should be the heart of the company. They should be the core of what the brand stands for. Zappos is one of those companies which gets it right. It is no surprise that they understood the power of the customer satisfaction tool which took the business world by storm: the net promoter score (NPS).

Keys to continuous testing for faster delivery euro star webinar TEST Huddle
Your business needs to deliver faster. To accommodate, Development needs to introduce fewer changes but in a much more frequent cadence. This creates a challenge for test teams to keep up with the rapid pace of change without compromising on quality. Automation is paramount to the success or failure of Continuous Delivery, and Continuous Testing enables early and frequent quality feedback throughout the CI/CD pipeline.
In this webinar, Eran & Ayal will explore how to implement Continuous Testing to ensure high quality releases in a Continuous Delivery environment; including what to test and when to automate new functionality in order to optimize your efforts.
Why you Shouldnt Automated But You Will Anyway TEST Huddle
The document discusses automation in software testing. It begins by outlining common claims made about the benefits of automation, such as saving time and improving quality, but argues that these claims often don't hold true. Automation does not inherently save time, guarantee quality, or reduce resources needed. It also does not always save money when development, maintenance, and infrastructure costs are considered. The document provides a formula for determining when automation is worthwhile based on how many times a test case would need to be rerun manually. It concludes by acknowledging that, despite these drawbacks, organizations will still automate testing because it is exciting, managers demand it, and it benefits careers.
In this webinar Carsten will explore the role of the tester in a Scrum team. He will examine where the tester play an important role in Scrum and how you can contribute to a teams performance.

Big Data: The Magic to Attain New HeightsTEST Huddle
This document discusses how big data and data science can be used to attain new heights, likening it to magic. It provides an overview of Ken Johnston's background and experiences in data science. It then discusses six keys to a "big" magic show with big data: trying multiple times, addressing issues with over-counting, experimentation techniques like A/B testing, infrastructure for big data, tools and skills, and security, privacy and fraud protection. The document emphasizes the importance of an assistant to help the data scientist or data engineer with various tasks.
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.

The document discusses Test Driven Development (TDD) and Test Driven Design. It uses the analogy of building a lightsaber and later a Death Star to illustrate the TDD process and benefits. Some benefits mentioned are better test coverage, less debugging, and better design. The document provides tips for practicing TDD including planning ahead, defining boundaries, taking small steps to pass each test, and maintaining discipline. It emphasizes trying TDD in a team and considering Behavior Driven Development (BDD) as well.

Are Your Tests Well-Travelled? Thoughts About Test CoverageTEST Huddle
This document summarizes a presentation on test coverage given by Dorothy Graham. It uses an analogy of travel to different locations to explain what test coverage means and some caveats. Coverage refers to the relationship between tests and the parts of a system being tested, but achieving 100% coverage does not mean everything is tested. There are four caveats discussed: coverage only measures one aspect of testing, a single test can achieve coverage, coverage does not indicate quality, and it only applies to the existing system not missing pieces. The key recommendation is to ask "coverage of what?" when the term is used rather than assuming more coverage is always better.
Growing a Company Test Community: Roles and Paths for TestersTEST Huddle
Over the past three years, our company’s test team has grown from three lonesome testers to a community of nine – with more planned. Since we don’t see testers as “click monkeys”, but as valuable and integrated project members who bring a specific skill set to the table, it’s important for us to choose testers well and to train them in various areas so that they can contribute, grow and see their own career path within testing.
To structure to our internal tester training program, we have been developing role descriptions, education paths and career options for our testers, which I’d like to share with you in this webinar.

It’s the same argument again and again. One side says “team members should all be able to do everything, and the programmers should do their testing and all testers should be writing code”. The other side says “No, that can’t possibly work – programmers don’t know how to test, they don’t have the right mindset”. And on and on it goes.

Testers & Teams on the Agile Fluency™ Journey TEST Huddle
The document discusses the Agile Fluency model, which aims to help teams and testers improve their agile skills and practices over time. It describes a pathway with increasing levels of fluency that provide more benefits, including delivering value, optimizing value, and innovating. Reaching higher levels requires investments in training, coaching, and changing team structures and roles. The model can help organizations determine what level of fluency they need and what investments are required for testing teams to operate at that level.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

2. The US government shut down!
We testers are more excited about the website going down
3. That’s how we (testers) are!
We know why something sucks
We don’t know why people are okay with it
13. Tweets from users
• Are you aware of any problems with the website? Having troubles booking
flights for Thanksgiving.
• We have reports that your website is infected with a virus. We had 3
workstations infected.
• Hey, when your website offers a great fare, and I click to purchase it and
then web says "not available," that's NOT COOL.
• You website is going soooooo s.l.o.w.l.y. HELP! I 'm trying to book travel
• Website indicates flight arrived one hour back, but aircraft nowhere to be
seen at airport.
• Booking flight w/iPhone app and an error occurred.
• I need to cancel a ticket. Your website is not allowing it. 3 attempts, 20
minutes hold each time. I am sick and tired!
• This is really pissing me off now! The website won't let me reschedule and
no one picks up customer care. Wtf?
14. Let’s do a basic math!
• Over the last 24 hours, about 10 users have complained they
can’t book a ticket they want.
• Over an year this may be like 3650 (actually more) users who
can’t book a flight.
• Average of $300 per ticket = $1095000 loss of revenues per
year
• Plus losing them to your competitors!
