BizDevOps – Delivering Business Value Quickly at ScaleQASymphony
BIZDEVOPS – DELIVERING BUSINESS VALUE QUICKLY AT SCALE
65+% of surveyed organizations are currently on the path to switch to DevOps or have already implemented the process, and the benefits of a properly implemented DevOps program are clear – quicker time to customer value, better alignment between businesses and customers, and a better ability to respond to customer input. However, when it comes to DevOps adoption, many teams rush to focus on one specific issue within one area when they would actually benefit more from aligning business, development, testing, and operations up front. The five major problems in DevOps adoption include:
Lack of Test Automation Coverage
Lack of Visibility into Testing
Maintaining Various Test Versions and Aligning Tests with Versions of Source Code
Maintaining a Single Source of Truth in the Testing Process
Understanding Where Business Value Currently is in the “BizDevOps” Pipeline
After helping hundreds of customers in their DevOps journeys, these three industry experts will cover these major problems, as well as innovative strategies to overcome them:
Bobby Smith – Director of R&D, QAS Labs
Brandon Cipe – VP DevOps, cPrime
Kevin Dunne – VP Business Development, QASymphony

Many companies are currently going through Agile Transformation or thinking about making the transition to agile. While moving to agile can create great opportunity for organizations, the journey to get there can be highly challenging. If you don’t have the right people, process and tools in place, the true benefits of agile may not be recognized. In this webinar, Andrew Stickland, Head of Client Services, for Clearvision and Kevin Dunne, VP of Business Development and Strategy for QASymphony will discuss the best practices for making the agile transformation. In this webinar, we will try to answer the following questions:
- Who are the people I need in place?
- What are the core processes that I need to change?
- What tools do I need?

The concept of “shifting testing left” in the software development lifecycle is not new. Shifting testing from manual to automated and then upstream into engineering is a driving factor in DevOps and agile software development. However, Michael Nauman wonders why test automation, DevOps, and agile software development still frequently fail to deliver on their promises? Aligning and hardening your DevOps and test automation—along with streamlining your agile processes—is critical to your project. Michael shares how AutoCAD’s shifting testing left enabled improvements within their engineering team. Learn how the team increased engineering reliability and velocity, and forced process changes upstream into design and research all the way through to product support. Leave knowing why the concept of separation of concerns with regards to quality is as fundamental as the separation of code quality from product quality. Learn how the AutoCAD web team used process dogma and ruthless prioritization to combat metric idolatry and the host of other evils that hold teams back from fully realizing their potential and going beyond agile.
It can be confusing for everyone in an agile team to understand when or what to test, when there isn't a test phase or any formal documented requirements. Whatever your agile methodology, projects require a change in the way QA and development work together. The use of technology and automation are much more difficult and finding a practical approach to testing is critical for successful agile projects.
In the Webinar presentation, George Wilson explored how testing in agile is different and revealed pragmatic advice to ensure that application quality, within an agile environment, isn't compromised. Listen to the archive Webinar discussion on the techniques for quickly getting control of manual testing and progressing to automated testing in agile, which will leave you with fresh thinking to resolve or prevent any testing dysfunctions in your agile teams.

HCLT Whitepaper: Landmines of Software Testing MetricsHCL Technologies
http://www.hcltech.com/enterprise-transformation-services/overview~ More on ETS
It is not only desirable but also necessary to assess the quality of testing being delivered by a vendor. Specific to software testing, there are some discerning metrics that one an look at, however it must be kept in mind that there are multiple factors that affect these metrics which are not necessarily under the control of testing team. The SLAs for testing initiatives can, and should, only be committed after a detailed understanding of the customer’s IT organization in terms of culture and process maturity and after analyzing the various trends among these metrics. This white paper lists some of the popular testing metrics and the factors one must keep in mind while reading in to their values.
Excerpts from the Paper
The estimates and planning for testing is based on certain assumptions and available historical data. However if there are higher number of disruptions (than anticipated) to testing in terms of environment unavailability or higher number of defects being found and fixed, the quality time available for testing the system would be less and hence higher number of defects slip through the testing stage. We must ensure that the data on defects on all subsequent stages are also available and are accurate. Production defects are usually handled by a separate Production support team and testing team is at times not given much insight in to this data. Also, since multiple projects and/or Programs would be going live, one after another, there are usually challenges in identifying which defects in Production can be attributed to which Project or Program. Inaccuracies in assignment would lead to inaccurate measure of test stage effectiveness.

Making the Transition from Tester to LeaderQASymphony
Keith Klain is one of my favorite thought leaders in the software testing space and it was inspirational to hear him share his secrets on how to transition from tester to test leader. He shared how to increase the value of yourself and your testing organization at your company.
Keith's Presentation was Split into Two Sections
- Why arn't there more people in testing with leadership positions
-Three takeaways to improve your value at your organization
QA and test departments often are composed of employees with business backgrounds who have little training when it comes to software testing. Though they are engaged, these team members can get overwhelmed by the thousands of test cases they have to execute over and over, and they don’t see a future career path in testing. What can be done to address these challenges? Join Sophie Benjamin as she presents her personal step-by-step recipe to transform QA and test teams and position them for success within IT. She talks about the essential roles in QA and test teams, their skills and contributions within the software delivery cycle, and tips and tricks to keep employees motivated and willing to invest in their careers. Attendees will leave with practical advice on what leaders and managers can do to ensure that their QA and test teams deliver results and add value to their organizations, today and in the future.
Testing at Startup Companies: What, When, Where, and HowJosiah Renaudin
Startups are becoming increasingly prolific—technology startups even more so. CEOs are recognizing the need for quality. Their users are their growth, and if they can't retain users, their growth slows or stops. So quality matters. How do you convince the rest of the company that test brings value? How do you convince developers and product owners that spending time on quality is important, particularly if they have never worked with testers before? Should startups even have testers? Alice Till-Carty shares her experience finding a role for testing and QA within the ever changing and fast growing landscape of a fashion startup. Join Alice to explore the major challenges and hurdles that testers can face in startups—how to improve relations with developers, how to introduce process (even when “process” is a dirty word in your company), how to become more involved with the development process, and ways to improve communication as teams start to grow quickly.

The quality assurance checklist for progressive testingMaitrikpaida
Quality assurance (QA) is a strategic way of preventing mistakes and defects in developed products and avoiding problems when delivering products or services to customers. This defect prevention in quality assurance differs subtly from defect detection and rejection in quality control and has been referred to as a shift left since it focuses on quality earlier in the process

Manual Testing is Dead. Long Live Manual TestingQASymphony
‘Manual testing’ as a term used to describe testing is extremely confusing. What exactly are they attempting to describe? What do people believe is happening? I believe ‘Manual testing’ displays a lack of consideration of the work, thinking, and effort that goes into testing. However, this depends on who is using the term and why. If testing consists of point and click, then ‘Manual testing’ may be apt. If testing consists of test ideas, prep and experimentation, I don’t believe the term ‘Manual testing’ suits. We need to address this and clarify there is no automation testing or manual testing. There is testing. This talk will be about testing and the need to be able to discuss it more clearly.
How do you address an organisations’ “quality problem”? Mark will be talking about his role as Head of Quality at Cambridge Assessment and exploring how he is approaching getting the answers to that very question.
Moving QA from Reactive to Proactive with qTestQASymphony
An overview of QASymphony's qTest product suite and product roadmap, including how qTest continues to push forward in the areas of agile testing, exploratory testing, BDD, automation integration, quality metrics and applied AI for testing, and how QASymphony is working to help test teams transition from reactive to proactive QA.
Over the course of my career I’ve reviewed the performance of countless software testing organizations, test teams, and testers looking for ways we can improve. Typically, the first suggestion when asked "how can we improve the state of testing here", usually relates to something that OTHER people should do. Very few people or teams take an introspective approach to improvement based on their own values and principles. Through this talk, I’ll share the review model and heuristics I use to identify things that are working and areas for improvement including efficiency, process improvement, and aligning your test approach for relevance to your business.
You’re an introvert. You do your best work when you can think a problem through alone in a quiet space. You express yourself better in writing or when you have a heads up before a meeting. But your company is cool! So your office resembles a sweatshop: large rows of desks squished into a concrete room with minimal sound deadening. And you company culture encourages team work! So anyone can call you or stop by your desk with immediate requests of varying levels of emergency. You’re always being put on the spot, only later to think of who would be best qualified to answer the question, what a better solution might be, or where an inefficiency could be eliminated. In my talk, I’ll frame my learnings from Quiet by Susan Cain and Introvert Power by Laurie Helgoe with personal experiences about how to function effectively in offices unfriendly to introverts. I’ll explore how American culture rewards those who speak the most over those who have something to say.
Learn how TUI UK&I selected qTest as their preferred replacement Test Tool to meet their current and future Enterprise Testing challenges. How they successfully implemented qTest and where they hope to be in 12 months’ time.

Quality Jam 2017: Paul Merrill "Machine Learning & How it Affects Testers"QASymphony
Machine Learning is all the rage. Companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are investing extreme sums of money into their ML budgets. But what is it, and more importantly, how will it affect me, as a tester? Last year, Paul was at a testing conference where a group of 5 executives decreed adamantly that ML would replace testers within the next few years. Anytime 5 executives agree on anything he questions it. So he wanted to learn if they were right. Over the last few months, Paul has researched and learned about ML. He's talked with industry experts in the field and testers with expertise in ML. He wanted to know what they had to say about this decree. He wanted to know, "is testing in danger of being automated by ML?"
Paul Merrill talks about what he's found in his research, provides an introduction to ML, and give info to decide for yourself if the future of testing will be in the hands of ML algorithms.
