This document summarizes a webinar about conducting think-out-loud user studies using UserZoom. It defines think-out-loud as asking test participants to verbalize their thoughts as they use an interface. Think-out-loud provides insights into how users make sense of designs and their opinions. The webinar recommends when to collect think-out-loud feedback, such as to build empathy, understand misinterpretations, and learn how to improve designs. It provides tips for effective think-out-loud studies like identifying goals, organizing study scripts, including warmups, following a logical sequence, minimizing bias, and encouraging errors. The webinar then demonstrates how to prepare a think-
Continuous Quality - Moving Beyond Bug Reports
In 2015, I ran a workshop at TestBash Brighton entitled "Supercharging Your Bug Reports" (also available in webinar format on the Ministry of Testing Dojo). In that class, I outlined some of the key components of an effective bug report, with the goal of helping testers to become better advocates for problems in their workplace. Fast-forward to 2017, and my world (and beliefs) have changed. I've been working in some fast-paced environments with highly-productive teams, where life moves at a pace which is largely incompatible with "traditional" bug reporting processes.
How do you effectively act as a champion for quality when one of your most visible forms of communication is taken away? In this talk, I'll share stories of my transition: how I had to adapt, the approaches that I chose to take, and evaluate how my 2017 outlook on bug reporting compares to my previous vision.

This document discusses using lecture capture and two-way technologies to promote active and engaged learning. It suggests that research shows breaking lectures into shorter interactive activities, rather than single long lectures, leads to better learning outcomes. Different tools are mentioned for lecture capture, video creation, and online discussion forums that can facilitate this approach.
Think Fast! Improv Skills to Accelerate Productivity
The corporate world is more volatile than ever. Leaders aren’t meeting with their team members in placid weekly meetings—they’re wrangling a conference call during a half-hour layover while responding to three panic-stricken emails. Never fear The Second City is here! That's right - THAT Second City.
In this interactive webinar, The Second City's very own lead creatives will shed light on how honing the core skills of an improviser can help mold so-so leaders in top level all stars. Highlighted in this 60 minute session, attendees will learn first hand how becoming a better improviser can help:
Fostering a “yes, and” approach to work
Embracing failure to accelerate high performance
Innovating by making something out of nothing

“Thou Shalt Write Things Down. And Other Rules for Managing Projects”
Juliette Melton at BayCHI: Real World Remote Research
Remote research can raise the quality and lower the costs of your user research efforts; using a combination of surveys, video, screensharing, and phone, you can connect with a much broader range of users than you could using traditional lab-based usability tests, while using resources more efficiently than you would doing contextual research. In this workshop-style talk, Juliette Melton will cover recruiting sources, technology tools, and caveats you might not have thought of, including managing time zones and participant distraction. We will also address pros and cons of increasingly popular non-scripted research services.
Coding In Public

ACMP 2015: Learn, Lead, Support Change at a Distance.
Presentation by James Chisholm, Principal at ExperiencePoint
Ask a group of change professionals what's the best way to communicate and the response is likely to be a unanimous in-person and face-to-face. The reality of our global work today is that face-to-face is often the precious exception, and not the rule. The challenge for many of us is how to better use technology to strengthen our remote working relationships and improve how we learn, lead and support change at a distance.
New and innovative approaches continue to be pioneered by many ACMP’ers. Through a series of stories and group discussions, you will have an opportunity to learn and share what has worked, what hasn’t and consider the implications for your work. This session will focus on interaction methods, technology supports and other design considerations critical for success in learning, leading and supporting change with geographically-dispersed colleagues.
ACMP2015 Presentation - Learn, Lead & Support Change at a Distance
The document discusses learning, leading, and supporting change at a distance. It describes a story of training 40 people across 8 teams and 3 sites over 2 days, with most of the training being team-based learning by doing activities. It also shares insights into retention rates from different learning methods and implies that online training can teach models and tools but not mindsets and reflexes. The document prompts discussion on tips for learning change at a distance. Responses emphasize using interactive communication techniques, regional engagement groups, coaching, real-life examples, and virtual communities of practice.

Interface Design for Elearning - Tips and Tricks
The document provides tips and guidelines for designing effective user interfaces for learning environments. It discusses principles of user interface design such as reducing extraneous cognitive load on users. Specific tips include using an F-shaped reading pattern to structure content, embedding instructions in the interface context, and testing designs with users. The key recommendation is that interface design should make tasks easy to complete while keeping users engaged in the learning process.
The Human Side of Working from Home
The future of work is remote — meaning a continuation of digital meetings. Collaboration tools may be user-friendly but learning to effectively lead a meeting in a digital environment requires a new way of thinking and preparing.
Insight virtual training experts Michele Snead and Jill Blasey-Ciociola prepared this presentation to help employees, teachers and coaches conduct more effective virtual meetings.
The 360 Developer
The document discusses the idea of a "360° developer" and the speaker's journey to becoming a well-rounded developer. Some key points:
- The speaker struggled when changing jobs from C# to Ruby, lacking context for agile practices and dealing with personality conflicts.
- They realized they needed to develop knowledge, personal, and functional skills to effectively solve business problems. This led to the idea of a "360° developer" with a diverse set of skills.
- The talk outlines developing skills in SOLID principles, design patterns, conflict resolution, mentoring, and cross-domain problem solving to become a well-rounded developer.
Hybrid teaching: Hidden skills and knowledge gaps
This document discusses the hidden skills and knowledge gaps related to hybrid teaching. It defines key terms like skills, knowledge, and gaps. It explores different levels of mental models that people have when it comes to technology. It presents different hybrid teaching scenarios and the equipment needed to effectively conduct hybrid classes. The document emphasizes that while factual knowledge is important, developing fluency through deliberate practice is also necessary to develop skills. Mental models, metaphors, and chunking information can help manage complex hybrid teaching situations.

In his talk Stratis discusses techniques for designing for voice interfaces, as well as the future of this medium
Dancing for a product release
This document discusses best practices for managing product releases and software engineering teams. It provides the following recommendations:
1) Establish clear processes for releases, including regular intervals, versioning, distribution, and metrics to measure success. Ensure everyone understands their role in the release cycle.
2) Use the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition to balance team skills and experience levels. Recruit for "smart and get things done" attitudes. Apply practices according to where the team stands.
3) Automate aspects like releases, reporting, and testing when possible, but also retain some manual processes to aid understanding of what to automate. Team learning takes time.

How To (Not) Open Source - Javazone, Oslo 2014
Releasing an open source project while maintaining a shipping product is hard! Different behaviors, attitudes and actions can help or hinder your cause; and they are not always obvious.
The Blueflood distributed metrics engine was released as open source software by Rackspace in August 2012. In the succeeding months the team had to strike a manageable balance between the challenges of growing a community, being good open source stewards, and maintaining a shipping product for Rackspace. Find out what worked, what did not work, and the lessons that can be applied as you endeavor to take your project out into the open.
In this presentation you will learn about strategies for releasing open source products, pitfalls to avoid, and the potential benefits of moving more of your development out in the open.
We have also made a few realizations about the community growing up around metrics. It is still young, and there are problems that come with that youth. I'll talk about some things we can do to make a better software ecosystem.
It's XP Stupid (2019)
We’re all doing Agile nowadays, aren’t we? We’ll all delivering software in an Agile way. But what does that mean? Does it mean sprints and stand-ups? Kanban even? But what about Extreme Programming? If as a development team we’re not using pair programming, test driven development, continuous integration, and other XP practices, then we’re not really doing Agile software development and we may be on a march to frustration, or even failure.
I’m going to look at why the current trend of companies and projects adopting Scrum, calling themselves Agile, but not transitioning their development to XP, is a recipe for disaster. I’d like to cover the main practices of XP as well as other good practices that can really help a team deliver quality software, whether they’re doing two-week sprints, Kanban, or even Waterfall.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
