Classification Labels in a Fast Moving Environment: Classification problems are very common in ecommerce. Collecting and storing labels from different sources is key to train and evaluate such models. Labels are expensive to obtain, thus selecting which products to get labels for is key to optimally use any available labeling budget, both when training and evaluating a model. At the same time, if available labels are not correctly used, incorrect or suboptimal results can be produced. In this talk I will discuss some of the challenges and potential pitfalls of acquiring and using labels for classification in a quickly evolving environment. I will present a system that store labels, provides a way to select labels to optimize budget while providing accurate and unbias evaluations of the classification models.

Bad metric, bad!

Centric Consulting

About Joseph Ours' Presentation – “Bad Metric – Bad!” Metrics have always been used in corporate sectors, primarily as a way to gain insight into what is an otherwise invisible world. Organizations blindly adopt a set of metrics as a way of satisfying some process transparency requirement, rarely applying any statistical or scientific thought behind the measures and metrics they establish and interpret. Many metrics do not represent what people believe they do and as a result can lead to erroneous decisions. Joseph looks at some of the common and some of the humorous testing metrics and determines why they are failures. He further discusses the real purpose of metrics, metrics programs and finishes with pitfalls into which you fall.

Trends in Software Testing: There has been a slow realization among the top executives that simply outsourcing testing to the lowest bidder is not resulting in a sufficient level of quality in their software products. In this session, Paul Holland will discuss how American companies are starting to reconsider “factory school” testing and are no longer satisfied with the current situation of simply outsourcing their “checking”. As the development side of software continues its dramatic shift toward Agile development – what role can testers have and how can testers still add value?

Why unvalidated assumption is the enemy of good product

Seb Agertoft

Design research for a quality product

Carmen Brion

It is possible for a product to pass quality assurance tests and acceptance testing without being user-friendly. It is also too easy for those of us who build digital products to make assumptions about what our users need. As a design thinker, I strive to bring the authentic voices of complex audiences into the product lifecycle through pragmatic research. A sound design research process not only shapes digital products to be more usable, it also adds value to drive engagement.

Agile Metrics That Matter

ThoughtWorks Studios

Patricia Carlin, General Manager ThoughtWorks talks about Metrics versus Diagnostics, Reporting Progress and Providing Visibility. And also the necessity of producing metrics that add value and eliminating metrics that are now deemed irrelevant. The discussion also comprises guidelines on effectively using metrics on an Agile Project as well as different types of metrics used on ThoughtWorks projects.

Rapid Software Testing: Strategy

TechWell

A test strategy is the set of ideas that guides your test design. It's what explains why you test this instead of that, and why you test this way instead of that way. Strategic thinking matters because testers must make quick decisions about what needs testing right now and what can be left alone. You must be able to work through major threads without being overwhelmed by tiny details. James Bach describes how test strategy is organized around risk but is not defined before testing begins. Rather, it evolves alongside testing as we learn more about the product. We start with a vague idea of our strategy, organize it quickly, and document as needed in a concise way. In the end, the strategy can be as formal and detailed as you want it to be. In the beginning, though, we start small. If you want to focus on testing and not paperwork, this approach is for you.

Secure Continuous Delivery

Equal Experts

When organisations begin to adopt Continuous Delivery, engineering teams begin to deliver at a pace that can create a strain on other parts of the business. Security teams often struggle to adapt to this faster delivery model, but that doesn’t need to be the case. In this talk, Stuart will discuss a few ways you can take advantage of continuous delivery to make security a first class citizen of software engineering. Grounding the theory with real world experience, he’ll share a few stories of how other organisations have used these ideas to transform their delivery. SPEAKER: Stuart Gunter Stuart is the Security Practice Lead at Equal Experts. He has over 20 years experience in software engineering, architecture and security. He has worked with a variety of public and private sector organisations across a range of industries, helping them effectively embed security within agile delivery.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support

Alan Dix

Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024 https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/ As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
