Learn what does it mean to Test on Agile Projects, techniques for non-Automated testing, what is Test Automation (Test Pyramid discussion) + CI
Delivered by Prasad Kalgutkar & Amit Gundiyal at vodQA - Agile Testing, at ThoughtWorks, Pune on Sat, 9th Jan 2016
Agile Methodology is not new. Many organisations / teams have already adopted Agile way of Software Development or are in the enablement journey for the same. What does this mean for Testing? There is no doubt that the Testing approach and mindset also needs to change to be in tune with the Agile Development methodology. Learn what does it mean to Test on Agile Projects.

Learn what does it mean to Test on Agile Projects and how Test Automation approach needs to change for the team to be successful! Also learn why is Test Automation important, and how do we implement a good, robust, scalable and maintainable Test Automation framework!
Build the "right" regression suite using Behavior Driven Testing (BDT)Anand Bagmar
Behavior Driven Testing (BDT) is an evolved way of thinking about Testing. It helps in identifying the 'correct' scenarios, in form of user journeys, to build a good and effective (manual & automation) regression suite that validates the Business Goals.
Integration Testing in Enterprises using TaaSAnand Bagmar
Typically in organizations, there are multiple projects / products. These products may be of implemented using tech-stacks over many years. Yet - they interact with each other in some way. To manage the complexity around Test Automation, many organizations prefer to have a common Test Automation solution across these products in an effort to build, standardize and maintain the framework.
However, this is not a good idea! With this approach one potentially ends up having to compromise on the quality of automation that can be done for each product, limited by the toolset.
The better approach would be to use the tools and technologies that are "right" for each product. This does have other disadvantages, but you would ensure each product is well tested! The only missing piece that remains is that these different products talk with each other. You need to test the integration between them in an automated way to verify all is well.
"TaaS" is an open-source product solution that allows you do achieve the "correct" way of doing integration testing across a variety of products via Test Automation.
Example:
For one set of products, Selenium-based toolset may be the right choice, where as for legacy reasons, QTP may be used for some other product. With TaaS - you will be able to automate the Integration Testing between these products, by re-using the tests already implemented in the individual product suites.

What does this mean for Testing? There is no doubt that the Testing approach and mindset also needs to change to be in tune with the Agile Development methodology.
Learn what does it mean to Test on Agile Projects. Also, learn how Test Automation approach needs to change for the team to be successful!
Also, see the skills and capabilities required to make anyone in the Quality / Testing role add tremendous value to the team!
Bhumika S, Anand Bagmar (Thoughtworks)
How many times do we test the same things at multiple layers, multiple levels, adding time to the build process and testing cycle, delaying the feedback?
We know what to test and how to test, but what is the right place to test it?
In this workshop, we will demonstrate how we, as QA’s, can identify which tests can be classified as unit tests, integration tests, and functional tests. Using a case study, we will see how each component can be tested as part of unit testing; the integration of different parts and the functioning of a software system as a whole, and how functional tests fit into this big picture. We will then bring all these tests together to understand and build the testing pyramid and how it enables us to build the right testing framework with fewer Selenium, i.e., functional tests.
Based on hands-on Agile experience acquired over multiple delivery projects and Agile coaching/consulting assignments, Vatsala and Aman share common Agile Testing dilemmas, and possible solutions, tying them to the principle of "moving testing upstream".

The Test Automation Pyramid is a useful model to help us understand and discuss automated testing efforts. Generally speaking it is a good practice to have lots of unit tests, fewer component integration tests, fewer API tests, and even fewer UI tests.

Feature toggling is a multi-purpose technique for easily turning features on and off. I will describe the concept, different types of feature toggles, some best practices, and give some examples of how Visma currently uses feature toggling.
Visual Validation - The Missing Tip of the Automation PyramidAnand Bagmar
The Test Automation Pyramid is not a new concept. The top of the pyramid is our UI / end-2-end functional tests - which should cover the breadth of the product.
What the functional tests cannot capture though, is the aspects of UX validations that can only be seen and in some cases, captured by the human eye. This is where the new buzzwords of AI & ML can truly help.
In this session, we will explore why Visual Validation is an important cog in the wheel of Test Automation and also different tools and techniques that can help achieve this. We will also see a demo of Applitools Eyes - and how it can be a good option to close this gap in automation!
Feature toggle widely used in industry to release incomplete features and do A/B testing on features. The presentation covers pros and cons of the approach and share some tips and tricks.
Roman iovlev battle - JDI vs Selenide - Selenium CampРоман Иовлев
The Battle on Selenium Camp conferece February 2017
http://seleniumcamp.com/talk/qa-livecoding-battle-typed-element-framework-jdi-vs-untyped-elements-framework-selenide/
Why typed elements (like Buttons, Images, Checkboxes, Links etc.) are bad practice in UI tests? Or are non-typed elements (like SelenideElement for ´em all!) more evil? Is it better to have predefined Element hierarchy or not?
Alexei and Roman have delivered a sound theoretical battle earlier at Heisenbug-2016 Conference in Moscow. But were everything said just words? The both QA wrestlers are still standing behind their concepts and are willing to prove their point at live coding sessions before the judging audience! In this QA Battle the parties will solve problems using a typed framework JDI and an non-typed one – Selenide, commenting their actions. The audience will decide with their votes which of the concept was better.
Slides were used for the session on 'Feature toggles' on ATAGG(2014)
Abstract - Is your code Toggled !?!
What is Agile?
According to Agile manifesto principles, Agile is
“Customer satisfaction by rapid delivery of useful software”, “Working software is delivered frequently (weeks rather than months)”. In most of agile teams, multiple features are worked upon by sub-teams in same sprint/iteration. Even though it enables rapid delivery, if not planned well teams may find it challenging to release work of one sub-team while withholding the others. Or worse, release gets delayed as part of work (any single team) is not production-deployable. Rapid delivery by multiple streams becomes unreality as delivery time grows from weeks to months.
Generally, most teams use multiple branches to manage this challenge to an extent. This strategy, consumes lot of time in integration & regression testing cycles every sprint. Could there be better solution? What if we could save the time we spend on these regression cycles? Think of solution where there is single branch to commit to, and everything is released to staging/production, but features are ”Toggled” depending on their usability/need. This talk explores a concept called “Feature Toggles” and how it could help us make test cycles short.
Talk emphasizes on effectively managing multiple streams, without delaying the delivery of software. It mainly focuses on various useful techniques (Branching, Feature Toggles etc.) which can help agile teams with multiple sub-teams to efficiently manage their codebase & releases to achieve faster delivery.
End-to-End Test Automation for Both Horizontal and Vertical ScaleErdem YILDIRIM
Slides from my talk at Selenium Camp Test Automation Conference - 2017
https://seleniumcamp.com/talk/end-to-end-test-automation-for-both-horizontal-and-vertical-scale/
Test automation (TA) activity has become a key critical work to guarantee the quality of system under test (SUT) by driving test and also development effort effectively. To bring this efficiency to projects, companies are investing on TA projects in a more motivated way. The question here is how we should design the automation strategy to handle complex TA projects together effectively. It can be done by automating test scenarios as E2E (end to end). Vertical E2E TA consists of; automating Test Data Preparation Phase and Unit, Integration and UI tests. For horizontal E2E TA; UI and Integration test cases, which are automated, designed as integrated real user scenarios. I will tell about the prerequisites, principles and key factors to have E2E automated tests. And also I will share hands on experienced E2E test automation projects that Selenium was the key tool.

Advanced Appium Workshop is a hands on session, which will help people to write cross platform tests with gestures and locator-chaining using PageFactory. Workshop would also focus on iOS 10 using XCUITest backend with the latest appium java-client.Participants need to have knowledge of Appium architecture, ability to write basic test for android/iOS and knowledge of OOPS concepts.
Effective Strategies for Distributed TestingAnand Bagmar
Thoughts, experiences and case studies on how to convert Testing principles into practices. We focus on the practices of making testing effective on distributed teams by keeping things simple, yet effective.
http://testing.thoughtworks.com/events/effective-strategies-distributed-testing
In a team which is developing mobile apps for multiple platforms, it becomes extremely difficult to maintain multiple Automation codebases and frameworks to test the app. This becomes a bigger problem when the same team is churning out multiple flavours of the same app.
What this showcases is how we have built an automation framework that tests 2 different flavours of an app along with using the same framework to test these apps across 3 different platforms.
The session will also include the challenges we faced while moving from a purely Functional approach to writing code to an Object-oriented approach to structure our automation code.
This will help other testing practitioners attending this session in building a robust automation framework with a very reliable and scalable codebase that can be extended beyond just one application/platform.
Software teams mostly find themselves working with three broad categories of tests - unit, integration and functional (excluding technology verification test categories like performance, load, stress etc.). Unit tests indicate whether the code is doing things right. Functional tests are complementary to - but quite different from unit tests. Functional tests tell whether the completed application is working correctly and providing the proper functionality. Simply put, unit tests are written from the code developer's perspective, while functional tests are written from the end user's perspective. When they work reliably, functional tests give users, stakeholders and developers confidence that the software meets agreed upon requirements.
In reality, a lot of teams find themselves grappling with perennially failing, hard to understand, slow running tests, which take herculean efforts to maintain while inspiring low confidence in the reliability of the end product.
This article examines recipes on how to create and maintain a smoothly running suite of functional/acceptance tests that can be reliably used to verify that the software is ready for release.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?
Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.
Code reviews are vital for ensuring good code quality. They serve as one of our last lines of defense against bugs and subpar code reaching production.
Yet, they often turn into annoying tasks riddled with frustration, hostility, unclear feedback and lack of standards. How can we improve this crucial process?
In this session we will cover:
- The Art of Effective Code Reviews
- Streamlining the Review Process
- Elevating Reviews with Automated Tools
By the end of this presentation, you'll have the knowledge on how to organize and improve your code review proces
Enhancing Project Management Efficiency_ Leveraging AI Tools like ChatGPT.pdfJay Das
With the advent of artificial intelligence or AI tools, project management processes are undergoing a transformative shift. By using tools like ChatGPT, and Bard organizations can empower their leaders and managers to plan, execute, and monitor projects more effectively.
In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.

Exploring Innovations in Data Repository Solutions - Insights from the U.S. G...Globus
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has made substantial investments in meeting evolving scientific, technical, and policy driven demands on storing, managing, and delivering data. As these demands continue to grow in complexity and scale, the USGS must continue to explore innovative solutions to improve its management, curation, sharing, delivering, and preservation approaches for large-scale research data. Supporting these needs, the USGS has partnered with the University of Chicago-Globus to research and develop advanced repository components and workflows leveraging its current investment in Globus. The primary outcome of this partnership includes the development of a prototype enterprise repository, driven by USGS Data Release requirements, through exploration and implementation of the entire suite of the Globus platform offerings, including Globus Flow, Globus Auth, Globus Transfer, and Globus Search. This presentation will provide insights into this research partnership, introduce the unique requirements and challenges being addressed and provide relevant project progress.
