Exploratory testing and Dev Ops - best friends?Sven Schirmer
Exploratory testing and DevOps practices like test automation can work well together when used appropriately. Exploratory testing involves testing software from the perspective of end users to understand real-world usage, which can then be used to improve automated test coverage. Session-based testing pairs business and development teams to jointly test software. Logging user journeys in production and using that data to plan exploratory test sessions helps test automation better reflect actual usage. Exploratory testing brings end users and different perspectives into the testing process early, discovers new issues, and improves customer relationships with minimal time investment when run regularly.

Vincent Spena - Agile and Lean Methods for Hardware Product DevelopmentVincent Spena
The document discusses applying Kanban and iterative incremental development (IID) approaches to hardware product development. It proposes using prototypes as stages to incrementally develop the product. Requirements to be met at each prototype stage should be defined upfront. Kanban can then track each team's progress on requirements for each prototype stage. Metrics like the number of passed/failed requirements compared to plan can identify risks. This allows measuring development progress to control the process, similar to measuring production flow in Kanban.

The Definitive Guide to Implementing Shift Left Testing in QARapidValue
In today's digital world, even though most of the projects are following the Agile methodology, often testers might not get enough time to quantify the problem scope and test the product effectively. Even if a sprint lasts for two weeks, the QA team would get the complete functionality for testing, only two or three days before the sprint completion. Eventually, the QA team would have to rush the testing, struggle for test completion and even end up with improper test coverage and bugs being leaked into production. So the testing phase is often considered as a bottleneck for the release by the management.
Studies done by analysts suggest that the maximum number of defects occur during the requirement
and design phase of the software development life cycle. More than half of the defects occur during the
requirement and design phase of the SDLC, i.e 56% of the total defects. Out of this 56%, 23% occurs during the design phase, 7% in the development phase and 10% defects emerge during the other phases. 2019 witnessed test automation going mainstream with 44% of IT organizations automating more than 50% of
all testing and these figures are expected to go up in the upcoming years. Thus it becomes highly necessary to step up the testing game and ensure that it is done quite efficiently and this is where Shift Left Testing comes into play. Detecting defects early in the software development cycle can prove to be very crucial in regards to cost and efficiency.
This whitepaper discusses how shift left testing could help you reimagine the entire QA testing process.

Agile testing principles and practices - Anil KaradeIndicThreads
Traditional test processes are not adaptive to extensive changes in software. Agile process emphasizes on ability to adapt to changing business needs, customer collaboration, integrated teams and frequent delivery of business values. Agile is an umbrella term that describes a variety of methods including XP and Scrum.
The talk will discuss pitfalls of the traditional testing process. Traditional testing process happens very late in the SDLC Where as Agile process focuses on test-first approach. The talk will explain benefits of going agile. Principles and practices of agile process will be discussed and agile methodologies Scrum and Extreme Programming will be discussed in detail. Purpose of Scrum, its effectiveness, timings and managing the scrum will be discussed. Some of the practices for XP like Pair Programming, Test Driven Development will be discussed. The Talk will also cover the QA role in agile world. The talk will cover the implementation issues while shifting from traditional to agile process. Talk will also include an interactive game for illustration of concepts.
In this session, we would discuss what "Agile Testing" is, what are the well known methods and models of Agile Testing and what to expect on the future of Agile Testing.
We are moving towards the Agile and DevOps dominated world which brings Quality Engineering into the picture. Quality is theoretically optimized throughout the process as it becomes responsibility of everyone involved in the software development lifecycle. QE brings more speed in testing ensuring high-quality output.

ESEconf2011 - Guckenheimer Sam: "Agile in the Very Large"Aberla
This document summarizes experiences from Microsoft's Developer Division in moving to more agile practices for their very large Visual Studio product. Some key points:
1) They shifted from 3-4 year release cycles to focusing on continuous delivery of high quality customer previews every 4 weeks, with the goal of getting work fully tested and "done" instead of deferring bugs.
2) Practices included establishing a product backlog prioritized by customer value, using feature teams to deliver one feature per iteration, and integrating features regularly into a main branch to catch issues early.
3) Metrics showed a 10x reduction in deferred debt/bugs between VS 2005 and 2008, with 2x faster schedules and much higher
Testers should focus on quality criteria beyond just functionality, write clear bug reports with details and attachments, and respect programmers and their skills. Testers and programmers should collaborate through techniques like heuristics and limitations discussions, asking about code purpose, and finding similar code examples. Building a strong relationship involves serving programmers needs, understanding their schedules, and working together as mentors.

The views included are:
1. An activity RASIC showing who leads and is involved in each activity.
2. A work product RACI that shows who owns and works on each work product
3. A work product evolution table that shows when the work products are worked on during the project.
