Common mistakes by beginners in Programming
Beginners in programming often make mistakes by thinking they know too much and skipping important steps like naming conventions, testing, and planning, or they know too little and are afraid to ask questions or use professional tools. Major mistakes include not scheduling time for learning and practice and not using the right tools. Minor mistakes are learning without practicing and solely following popular questions instead of practicing.
How to deliver the right software (Specification by example)
Talk about Specification by Example. What's the problems it tries to tackle and how to solve them.
I gave this talk at Thoughtworks on a "lunch and learn" meeting for the company.
This is a new version of my previous presentation about "Specification by example"

Test driven development_and_puppet-cfgmgmtcamp_eu-20140402
The slides of the talk i did on cfgmgmtcamp.eu, frebruary 4th 2014, looking at test driven development. This part is focused on the development of a custom puppet type
How To Do A Project
The document provides guidance on how to plan and execute a project. It recommends first picking a title and defining the project scope. It then discusses performing requirements analysis, designing the development environment and overall system architecture, coding and testing the project, and managing the project schedule and resources. Finally, it provides some example project ideas and tools to support the development process.
Unit testing JS = SQLSat 324
The document is an agenda for a presentation on JavaScript testing. The summary includes:
1) The presentation covers JavaScript testing fundamentals including the importance of testing, different testing frameworks, unit vs integration testing, and tools to assist with testing.
2) Testing JavaScript applications is important because JavaScript is widely used but many developers do not fully understand it. Writing tests encourages writing code in a testable way and prevents bugs.
3) The presentation concludes by thanking the audience and providing contact details for the presenter.

Review June2015 Dec2015
Took some time to see what went good and what did not work for the past 6 months, and then set some goals for the next 3 months.
Assorted TDD tips
This document discusses various tips and perspectives on test-driven development (TDD). It addresses TDD as a tool that depends on context and constraints. It should be considered a skill that requires practice. TDD can serve as documentation when tests are written clearly and follow good practices like SOLID principles. The document emphasizes focusing TDD on goals and being aware that tests can increase coupling, requiring trade-offs. It recommends practicing TDD through katas to improve skills.

The document discusses using test-driven development (TDD) with functional React. It recommends starting simply by showing Dan Abramov's Twitter feed in an app. Testing advice includes focusing on desired behavior over implementation, ensuring refactoring doesn't break tests, and using names the product owner understands. References are provided for more examples of TDD with React.
BugDay 2012 : The variety of Unit Testing #1
The document discusses unit testing and provides questions to prompt discussion. It introduces the topic of unit testing, shows a test pyramid diagram, and asks attendees to share about their own unit testing practices. It then poses five questions about unit testing, such as whether tests can be run over time and by any team member. Finally, it provides brief definitions of unit testing and good unit testing practices, such as being automated, repeatable, easy to implement and run quickly.
Code Reviews Inside Out
Code review as a technique for improving code quality exists for a very long time, but still it is not something that everybody embraces. Management might consider it time consuming. Developers might have had bad experience or they struggle with reviews.
Correctly done code reviews bring many benefits to everyone included in process: developers individually, teams, companies, clients and end users.
This presentation explains what code reviews are, what benefits they bring and, most importantly, how to do them right.

Open Source Software Contribution
To contribute to open source projects:
1. Pick an existing project that is missing a feature you can add or find ways to improve documentation, tests, or code quality.
2. Follow the project's contribution guidelines which include reading documentation, code of conduct, and opening issues before submitting pull requests.
3. Maintain your own open source projects by regularly checking and merging pull requests and issues, adding tests, and using tools like CI/CD pipelines.
4. Find issues labeled "Good first issue" to get involved in other projects and ask maintainers before starting significant new features.
Test-Driven Development with Plone
This document discusses test-driven development (TDD) with Plone. TDD involves writing tests before code so that code is only written to pass existing tests. This ensures code works as intended and defects are minimized. The document outlines benefits of TDD like shorter development cycles, faster processes, cleaner code, and satisfaction. It also discusses different types of tests like unit tests, integration tests, functional tests, and acceptance tests using Robot Framework. Recommended books on TDD are also mentioned.

In this talk, Tatiana will take you on a journey from IC to Tech Lead. She had a lot of struggles and unknowns along the way for years, but she decided to share those experiences as well as the efficient way to go about the role. She will give actionable ideas and provide a reference point on how Tech Leading could look like in practice.
Intro TDD Portuguese developers meetup London 16/04/2014
Test Driven Development (TDD) follows three main laws: only write production code to pass a failing test, only write enough test code to fail, and only write enough production code to pass the test. TDD brings benefits like improved debugging, courage to refactor, documentation, and design. Good unit tests are atomic, isolated, repeatable, revealing, and fast. The structure of a test is to arrange inputs, act on the system under test, and assert the expected outcomes. Strategies for TDD include using obvious implementations, faking dependencies, and triangulating tests. Practicing TDD involves code katas, communities, and conferences.
Viva faq
This document lists frequently asked questions for a viva voce exam on a student project. It includes questions about describing the project, its advantages and scope, software used, database design including normalization and connectivity, modules and forms, testing approach, limitations, and enhancements. It notes the student should honestly admit if they are unsure of an answer or received help. Additional questions may test the student's confidence by asking if they purchased their report, how much it cost, and details about meetings with their guide.

Version control systems like Git allow developers to work collaboratively by tracking changes to source code over time. Automated testing is important and comes in many forms like unit, integration, and acceptance testing. Code quality tools enforce standards, measure test coverage, and help find bugs. Developers should try various programming languages and integrated development environments to expand their skills and perspectives. Cloud hosting, containers using Docker, and continuous integration/deployment pipelines are important architectures and concepts in today's IT industry. Personal projects allow experimenting with new technologies outside of work.
Question 4
This document discusses the various media technologies used at different stages of a project. It describes using Prezi and Microsoft Word for presentations, Photoshop to improve work quality and experimentation, Nikon cameras to take high quality photos, and Premiere for video editing. Both strengths and limitations are provided for each technology. The conclusion states that using these various media technologies helped create a professional final project, despite some challenges along the way.
Biases in Testing
Testing is a performance and people are at its center. Biases are part of human nature and thus, they will influence our work as testers.
In this session, I will talk about a series of biases that are present in our day to day work. My aim is to challenge the ways we do what we do, analyze the reasons behind our actions and attempt to come up with a few suggestions on how we can manage our biases.
Puppet on Windows: Now You're Getting Chocolatey PuppetConf2013
Rob Reynolds presented on using the Chocolatey package manager with Puppet on Windows. Chocolatey is like apt-get or yum but for Windows, allowing installation of programs and their versions to be managed. The Chocolatey module enables its use as a package provider in Puppet. While the built-in Windows package provider requires no setup, Chocolatey provides benefits like simple packaging and allowing version upgrades. Reynolds demonstrated using Chocolatey and Vagrant to configure a Windows system with Puppet.

Hypothesis Engineering for Innovative Projects
In an increasingly turbulent business environment represented by the Internet era, software development has to be more flexible and agile, both in large companies and startups. Continuous experimentation becomes an important alternative paradigm of software development. It is an alternative to execution-oriented approach where software development is only fulfilling a list of defined requirements.
To be effectively experimentation-driven, a very first step is for all stakeholders involved in software development to move from a requirement, feature-driven mindset to hypothesis thinking. This new way of thinking is focused on taking product assumptions as hypotheses that should be tested and developing experiments to test these assumptions, before creating the final software product.
In this talk, we will introduce the concept of hypothesis engineering, and present a set of industry practices and techniques to foster hypothesis thinking and handle hypotheses.Pablo Rojas

How To Grow Your Testing Team Members
Leading a testing team of individual people with different skills and mindsets is a challenging task. Modern leaders should support, help, guide, and coach the direct reports to grow their skill set to become a better tester. In this talk, Daniel will introduce the testing wheel to you and what it's all about.
The content of the testing wheel will help leaders to shape their testing team and to support, help, guide, and coach each person in the team on an individual level.
The testing wheel is an instrument to bring potential problems or missing skills to the top and is a basis for discussion. It will further help the direct report to grow their own skills set. On the other side it will help the leader to guide and coach the team member.
Join my talk to learn all about the testing wheel.
Key Takeaways
1. What is the testing wheel and how a leader and the direct reports can benefit from it.
2. How to configure the testing wheel for the individual needs.
3. How to use the results from the testing wheel to shape the testing team and how to guide and coach team members.

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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
