The document summarizes the key principles of the "Lazy Person's Guide to a Better World" approach to usability testing and problem-solving. The approach recommends focusing ruthlessly on fixing the most serious usability problems observed, rather than getting distracted by less important issues or complete redesigns. It also advocates doing the least amount of work needed to solve problems. Specific techniques include instructing observers to note the top three problems, prioritizing problems during debriefing sessions, and tweaking interfaces rather than redesigning them from scratch. The overall goal is to improve usability while expending minimal resources.

ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
Usability testing can quickly uncover areas of an interface that frustrate users and hurt business goals but many teams put it off due to budget, time, or training concerns.
This workshops will take you through a do-it-yourself approach to usability testing. We'll cover the basics (benefits, recruiting, and how to plan a test), learn how to facilitate a test to get reliable results, and how to use the testing results to move usability improvements forward. You'll walk away with the tools to hold a complete usability testing right away.
TAKEAWAYS
Learn why and when to hold usability testing
Learn practical tools and methods to overcome time, budget or training concerns that block user testing from happening

10 Most Common Misconceptions About User Experience Design
Here's the presentation I gave at Pittsburgh Web Design Day (http://www.webdesignday.com) based on my article on Mashable (http://mashable.com/2009/01/09/user-experience-design/)
Usability vs. User Experience: What's the difference?
What's the difference between usability and user experience? Is there one? Check out Domain7's quick, handy guide—for designers, developers, and clients alike! Learn more: http://www.domain7.com/blog
10 Usability Heuristics explained
Jakob Nielsen developed the method of 'Heuristic Evaluation' to help identify problems with an interface. This presentation explains the 10 rules of thumb or heuristics with examples.
From Paths to Sandboxes
This presentation shares the journey I’ve been on, from trying to shape and influence a user’s path, to creating sandbox environments in which people can play and amaze us!
______
Designers are trained to guide users toward predetermined outcomes, but is there a better use of this persuasive psychology? What happens if we focus less on influencing desired behaviors and focus more on designing ‘sandboxes’: open-ended, generative systems? And how might we go about designing these spaces? It’s still “psychology applied to design”, but in a much more challenging and rewarding way!
In this talk, I’ll share the journey I’ve been on, from trying to shape and influence a user’s path, to creating these sandbox environments. You’ll learn why systems such as Twitter, Pinterest, and Minecraft are so maddeningly addictive, and what principles we can use to create similar experiences. We’ll look at education and the work of Maria Montessori, who wrote extensively about how to create learning environments that encourage exploration and discovery. And we’ll look at game design, considering all the varieties of games, especially those carefully designed to encourage play — a marked contrast with progression games designed to move you through a series of ever-increasing challenges, each converging upon the same solution. Finally, we’ll look at web applications, and I’ll share how this thinking might influence your work, from how you respond to new feature requests to how you design for behavior change in a more mature way.

ABSTRACT
Whilst the work we do is not meant to be hanged on a wall for people to admire, nor is meant to be put in a drawer and forgotten about. Just as we make the products and services we design easy to use, the UX of UX is about communicating your thinking in a way that ensures that what you've defined is easy to understand for the reader. It's about adapting the work you do to the project in question and finding the right balance of making people want to look through your work whilst not spending unnecessary time on making it pretty.
Who is it for?
This workshop is suitable for anyone starting out in UX, or who's worked with it for a while but is looking to improve the way they present their work.
What you'll learn
In this hands on workshop we'll walk through real life examples of why the UX of UX deliverables matter. We'll cover how who the reader is effects the way we should present our work, both on paper and verbally, and how to ensure that the work you do adds value. Coming out of the workshop you'll have practical examples and hands on experience with:
// How to adapt and sell your UX deliverable to the reader (from clients, your team, in house and outsourced developers)
// Guiding principles for creating good UX deliverables (both low and high fidelity)
// Best practice for presentations, personas, user journeys, flows, sitemaps, wireframes and other documents
// Simple, low effort but big impact tools for improving the visual presentation of your UX deliverables
Why UX #FAILS (with notes)

Don't Kill The Messenger: How To Deliver Successful Research Readouts?
Research readouts are a vital part of a UX designer's job. However, the findings presented during readout sessions sometimes carry a challenging message. In such situations, stakeholders can misunderstand your intention and feel offended by the presentation. But you are just delivering the facts, aren't you?
Well, if prepared in advance and done strategically, every designer can tell a compelling research story and transform skeptical stakeholders into UX advocates. Come and learn techniques of how to prepare in advance, anticipate pushback and deliver successful research readouts.
1) You will learn how to anticipate challenges before and during research readouts and will be able to address them skillfully.
2) You will discover how to transform UX challengers into UX advocates.
3) You will be equipped with the best practices that will help you to illustrate the benefits of UX research during the readout.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
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.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object Calisthenics
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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).
