Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

"Social media is the use of web-based and mobile technologies to turn communication into interactive dialogue" (Wikipedia) Social Media is a way to connect and collaborate with friends, colleagues, and your surrounding community Can take many different forms microblogging social bookmarking social networking audio and video sharing Ultimate goal for educators is to build their Professional Learning Network through the use of Social Media What is Social Media?

Can post a link to a great website (use http://tinyurl.com to shorten links) Can be used for personal or professional Connect with (or "follow") other people with similar interests Most popular platform for microblogging is Twitter Educators can use microblogging as a way to stay up-to-date with current trends and research Follow me on Twitter at www.twitter.com/lilrachel27 Microblogging
- 5. Social bookmarking allows an individual to organize, store, and manage all their online resources You can access your bookmarks anywhere because it is in a central, web-based location “Tagging” your bookmarks allows you to sort, share, and categorize your resources You can also search other peoples bookmarks by the “tags” they have created Some platforms for social bookmarking include: Diigo Del.icio.us StumbleUpon Squido Educators can use Social Bookmarking for sharing favorite sites with students and parents, or with other educators See My social Bookmarking page at www.delicious.com/lilrachel27 Social Bookmarking

- 8. I really enjoyed becoming a connected learner I found Twitter and Delicious very easy to become familiar with and start using right away Building my PLN is going to take some time Finding time away from kids and husband to “surf” and “explore” these different platforms was a challenge Keeping up with all the different accounts and passwords that I used was also a challenge Successes and Challenges
- 9. Would highly recommend Online learning to other educators Can complete the course from the comfort of your own home (car, Starbucks, school, quiet corner at church waiting for your son to get done CCD) Instructor was very helpful and genuinely interested in our learning! I did not feel disconnected at all! Moodle and Online Learning
