Quality engineering in DevOps... Why? How? (TestBusters Day&Night))Rik Marselis
Ā
The business people want IT to delivery Business Value, with quality at speed. To achieve this DevOps can be implemented. And the cross-functional team needs to perform Quality Engineering to reach their goals. In this presentation you will learn why quality engineering (which includes testing) is important and how it can be implemented.
This presentation was given to the audience of the TestBusters Day&Night on 9 September 2021
We are moving towards the Agile and DevOps dominated world which brings Quality Engineering into the picture. Quality is theoretically optimized throughout the process as it becomes responsibility of everyone involved in the software development lifecycle. QE brings more speed in testing ensuring high-quality output.

The world has changed. We feel it in the work environment. We see it in the numbers. We smell it in the questions. Much that once was, is lost, for few remember it, even less still use it. In the name of agility and lean processes, we have turned a blind eye to quality, favouring quick execution over customer delight. And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost.
Join Jay Rao and Vishal Anand to explore the new world of āagile deliveryā. Understand the myths vs the real picture, the anti-patterns to watch out for and how you can look forward to understanding new measurements for delivery, and various functions within ā from architecture to deployment ā and where each of us has opportunities that align with common sense and outcomes

Regulated Software Testing - Griffin Jones - TISQA 2014Griffin Jones
Ā
Regulated software is consequential software, subject to authoritative outside review. Even experienced software testers can have an Alice-In-Wonderland feeling the first time they test a regulated product. Many aspects of software testing are surprisingly exactly the same as testing unregulated software, while others are surprisingly completely different. Why is that? What parts are surprisingly similar or different? Griffin shares experiences of testing FDA regulated systems, and similar software (e.g., financial systems, aircraft controls, insurance, and online gaming) ā drawing examples from the participants of the Workshop on Regulated Software Testing (WREST), and himself. We examine the what, why, and how certain software is regulated - and the duties imposed on companies and individuals. We highlight some of the surprising aspects, such as: test design and execution; tools and automation; accuracy and rigor; traceability and authorization; evidence and record keeping; the halting problem; process standardization and predictability; human variability and adaptability; technology choices; morality and ethics; and business pressures. Leave with more insight into and less surprise about the challenges of testing regulated software.

This webinar was co-hosted by Infuse Consulting and Curiosity Software on 27th September 2022. Watch the on demand recording here: https://opentestingplatform.curiositysoftware.ie/generate-rigorous-automated-tests-webinar
Your test automation rates are too low to match the speed of CI/CD, while suboptimal coverage is constantly letting bugs slip through. What do you do?
Many organisations treat this as a resourcing problem, often approaching services providers to navigate an automation skills shortage. Yet, hiring more people to perform the same processes is unsustainable, as the demand for automation persists sprint-over-sprint. In-house testing further risks growing dependent on a scripted framework that they canāt easily access or target for coverage. They risk throwing money constantly at external engineers to write repetitive scripts, fix brittle tests, and source test data. These suboptimal processes must be fixed first ā people alone cannot fix test automation ROI.
This webinar will explore approaches to sustainable test automation that grows more efficient sprint-over-sprint, while targeting testing to de-risk the latest system changes. Nalin Parbhu, CEO of Infuse, and Curiosityās George Blundell will draw on automation project experience from a range of different organisations. They will discuss collaborative approaches that automate processes surrounding test execution, while maximising reusability and optimising in-sprint test coverage. You will see solutions to perennial test automation barriers, including:
1. Collaborative test modelling, future proofing automation frameworks by maintaining intuitive living documentation.
2. In-sprint test and data generation, rapidly creating scripts from reusable flowchart models.
3. Automated test maintenance, targeting in-sprint coverage as requirements and systems change.
This webinar was held live on March 4th, 2021. Watch the on demand recording here: https://curiositysoftware.ie/resources/democratisation-testing-webinar/
Learn how Infuse, Kumoco and Curiosity enabled rigorous in-sprint test automation at a large telecommunications company. BAs, Testers and Developers at the telco now collaborate to build visual flows of the system logic in-sprint. The easy-to-maintain diagrams generate complete SIT and E2E tests for the latest business processes, rigorously testing before every rapid release.
To overcome siloes and overly-manual processes, Infuse, Kumoco and Curiosity built a ātelecommunications-company-in-a-boxā, a digital twin of the system under test. Artifacts created by BAās were imported to build complete business flows, providing a single source of truth for the systems in scope. The flows were then used to generate rigorous tests in seconds, and were further used by developers and testers to build CI/CD assets. This generated a complete set of artifacts across the SDLC, while allowing every stakeholder to use their favourite tools.
Join Infuse, Kumoco and Curiosity live to see this cutting-edge approach to in-sprint design, development and testing in action. You will discover how:
1. Slow and siloed system design and test creation were replaced by test generation for useMango, with matching test cases generated in Jira.
2. Risk-based test generation identified exactly what to test in short sprints, overcoming the challenge of having more in a system than you could ever test in-sprint.
3. The rigorous automation is now maintained in-sprint, updating tests across tools as the business customize processes in BPMN-style diagrams.
4. The business know that their changes will be validated rigorously before each release, optimizing test generation for time and risk and defining reliably when testing is ādoneā.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
Ā
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.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Ā
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

PEOPLE ā TESTING OR QUALITY
It is a mistake to think of test automation as automating what you otherwise would do
manually. You are finding ways to assess the quality of your product in automated ways and
you will execute it way more often than you would do manual testing.
You are not automating testing, you automate the quality assessment.

ā¢ Underestimating the impact on infrastructure and the ecosystem
ā¢ Underestimating the data hunger
ā¢ Not thinking about the system
ā¢ Not integrating it into the Software Development Life Cycle
ā¢ Test automation is always an afterthought and not baked in as part of the original estimates
ā and is hence quite often seen as a additional cost
ā¢ Good automation requires good skills ā consider the āpondā model
