Testing and test construction part i mirnamirquint
Testing is used to measure what learners know or can do. There are two main types of tests - formal tests which are instruments to formally measure learning, and informal tests which are used by teachers to quickly check understanding. Tests are used for several purposes like guiding teaching, motivating learning, and determining if learning objectives were achieved. Tests vary depending on their purpose, characteristics, and the aspect of language or skills they measure.

Testing Missions in Context From Checking to AssessmentScott Barber
Sometimes we test to find bugs.
Sometimes we test to comply with regulations.
Sometimes we test to answer a question for someone.
Sometimes we test because its what was done before.
Sometimes we’re not even sure what we are testing for, only that someone is paying us to “just test it”.
Whether or not someone has told us why we are testing, or what we are testing for, if we are being paid (or otherwise compensated) for testing, there is a reason that someone is willing to pay for that testing to be done. That reason is (or should be) our testing mission.
During this keynote, Scott Barber explores some of the most commonly assigned or assumed testing missions, shares his thoughts on contexts in which these missions may or many not be particularly valuable and, publicly for the first time, discusses a software product assessment model that he believes has the potential to dramatically improve the alignment of our assigned or assumed testing missions with the wants and needs of the businesses paying us to conduct that testing.

Performance Testing in Context; From Simple to Rocket ScienceScott Barber
When most people think of performance testing, they think about the hard parts – the very hard parts. They think about the expensive and complicated tools that are required to simulate the activity of thousands of end-users all at the same time, while collecting tens or hundreds of thousands of measurements.
In reality, many performance issues can be detected and diagnosed with exactly the tools and knowledge you already have at your disposal using information obtained from quick, easy and cheap performance tests. In fact, much of the performance related information that stakeholders need to make good decisions and development teams need to dramatically improve system performance is easily obtainable by the performance-testing layman. The trick is knowing what performance tests to apply when, and how much time/effort is worth investing based on the business importance of performance — in other words, context!
In this hands-on tutorial (bring your laptop or risk reduced value and intermittent boredom), Scott Barber will introduce you to several techniques that the performance testing layperson can use to speed up and simplify the collection of valuable performance-related information; many of which you can use during the tutorial to test your current website if it’s accessible from the classroom. You’ll also receive an introduction to the ‘rocket science’ side of performance testing along with some things that you can do to make life easier for your resident ‘performance testing rocket scientist’.
The document discusses performance testing for managers. It outlines that performance testing is often misunderstood by managers and executives.

The document was presented at a conference on quality assurance and testing for embedded systems.
Introducing the Captain of your Special Teams... The Performance Test LeadScott Barber
The document discusses using the concept of "special teams" from American football to improve software development teams. It suggests designating specialists like performance testers as the captain of the special teams to encourage collaboration. As special teams captain, specialists could make big impacts and not be micro-managed by development or test managers. This would help minimize conflicts and demonstrate trust that improves specialist effectiveness.
This document discusses improving software testing practices. It notes that testing is often seen as undervalued but does not provide as much value as it could. The document suggests that testing should focus on delivering business value and reducing risk. It also recommends that testers gain a better understanding of business goals and risks. Effective risk management requires managing knowledge, and testing practices should aim to reduce uncertainty about new technologies' future impacts through a continuous learning process.
Performance Testing on Agile Development TeamsScott Barber
The document discusses integrating performance testing into agile development lifecycles. It notes that performance testing and agile development both involve repeating cycles of planning, testing, and improving. However, bringing the two together can be complicated due to unknowns and variable notions of acceptance. The document provides keys to success, including involving management and developers, making performance part of user story acceptance, and involving performance testers throughout the development cycle.
