Develop a Defect Prevention Strategy—or Else!TechWell
Defects occurring throughout the development of a software project penalize the project. The effort spent remediating these defects robs the project team of valuable time, resources, and money that could otherwise be used for further innovation and delivering the highest possible quality product to wow the customer. The occurrence of a large percentage of these defects can be avoided with preventive defect removal strategies. Scott Aziz describes various methods for removing defects during the early design and development phases―long before testing. Methods include requirements-based testing that eliminates 95 percent of requirements defects prior to the coding phase, code reviews and inspections, and establishing model-based test design practices that allow for testing business requirements before any code is developed. Take back and adopt in your environment some of the most effective early defect prevention practices known and practiced in the industry today.

'Mixing Open And Commercial Tools' by Mauro GarofaloTEST Huddle
Mixing open source and commercial software is a challenge we face today. The right combined solution offers advantages in flexibility, functionality, performance, and management that aren't available when either open source or commercial technologies are used alone. But one of the major issues is that they don’t always play well together. Some of them can’t be loaded together or they fail to integrate properly.
In this presentation we will provide a case study of successful blending open source and commercial software for testing Java applications. The testing environment consisted of using Subversion as versioned repository for tests, JIRA for issue management and in mixing IBM Rational Functional Tester with an open framework for automated functional, regression and GUI testing. These tools provide a rich set of high-level Java API useful for integrating with each other, by minimizing the integration costs. During the presentation, we will explore the costs (open tools used have no fees, integration and training costs …), the advantage (innovation, products that are best-of-breed …), the risks (dedicated support, community feedbacks, ability to add extensions …) and the product’s quality achieved by our solution compared to a full open source or commercial approach. By our experience, we will provide some hints and tips to guide testers and managers to choose a good mix between open and commercial tools based on: budget, technology, know-how and requested quality.

Passion: What Software Teams and Executives Can Learn from Eco-PiratesTechWell
On the Animal Planet TV series Whale Wars, a fleet of boats off the coast of Japan ambush migrating dolphins at sea and drive them into a cove, where they’re captured for the theme park industry or killed for food. Their story is featured in the Oscar-winning documentary, The Cove. Having traveled with Sea Shepherd, a marine wildlife conservation organization fighting against this practice, Michael Mah says that agile teams can learn a lot from the passion and self-organizing attributes of environmental activists/eco-pirates. He explores how wildlife conservation teams channel a powerful sense of purpose, practice leadership, use social media, create transparency, build trust, and use metrics and data to command the world’s attention. Hear Michael’s take on what passionate teams muster to move the needle toward a tipping point, and lessons that your software teams can learn from activist teams in the global environmental conservation movement.
Agile Redefines Global Economics: What Recent Data RevealsTechWell
Kent Beck, inventor of eXtreme Programming, defined agile success as delivering more useful functionality with fewer defects. Against that definition, early research revealed mixed success. Many organizations did not know how to measure and thus could not have “fact-based” conversations about productivity and cost. Some teams achieved faster delivery, but quality did not improve. Others found both. What factors made the difference? New benchmark analysis by QSM Associates reveals the latest productivity, time-to-market, quality, and cost patterns. As a result, we may be seeing a major shift in software economics made possible by the promises of agile. Michael Mah shares this latest research in the QSM SLIM industry database, which contains more than 10,000 completed projects—waterfall, agile, offshore, onshore—collected worldwide. Michael offers consulting tricks to accelerate your success. Learn how to derive your own measurements to inform your executive teams, quantify your successes, or spotlight areas that need help.

Agile Metrics to Boost Software Quality improvementXBOSoft
Why don't metrics apply to Agile development methodologies? Wrong! They Do, but you have to know how and when.
Find out in this webinar (recording) in special collaboration with the Chicago Quality Assurance Association (CQAA).
Agile, a development methodology, designed to allow team members to work iteratively during the development process instead of delivering a final product all at once, is now 20 years old. And when it comes to testing within an Agile process, there are those that use pyramids, and rectangles as mental models for where you should put your effort, or not.
Sometimes, software quality in Agile is mistranslated as the idea that everyone is responsible for software testing. But within Agile software development, ensuring quality is much more than testing and must include activities at different levels, including estimates for the workload for each iteration. Otherwise, testing happens last minute—or sometimes not at all, depending on time constraints. To have a successful Agile team, most software developers know that velocity is an essential component.
But it’s not just about measuring velocity, as velocity is only one factor or measurement for success. There are many other factors to measure when you want to assess the success of your Agile team in delivering a quality product. In this webinar, we specifically look at some key metrics for us the measure the success and progress of our quality in Agile.
Tune in with Philip Lew as he goes through ways you can gather insights in slicing, dicing, and analyzing (and interpreting) data. We’ll use Jira as an example, but you can do this with practically any issue tracking collaboration tool to help your team improve software quality.
Agile Test Management Using Jira and ZephyrXBOSoft
Do you have traceability where you can efficiently determine the cause of defects if there was an unclear requirement? Are you sure your test cases cover your requirements? Can you easily execute targeted regression when you’ve updated your software’s functionality? Now with software development teams mostly working from home or in dispersed geographies, supporting effective collaboration between remote workers is critical. In this XBOSoft quarterly webinar, our CEO, Philip Lew, teams up with BDQ’s CEO Chris Bland, to discuss the problems with working remotely, integrating the phases of testing in development in an Agile, and how this can be done using Zephyr, one of the predominant plugins in the Atlassian marketplace for test management. In this webinar, you will learn how to:
--Link tests with user stories and group tests within test cycles.
--Tie your results (defects) all the way back to user stories for effective defect root cause analysis.
--Classify defects to analyze and prioritize your test efforts.
--Use the traceability matrix with Zephr for deep visibility into your Agile process.
Is this possible? Artificial Intelligence Based Test Automation but with no AI? Well, according to Jeremias Roessler, it is! Find out how in this quarterly webinar slidedeck with XBOSoft's special guest speaker, Jeremy Rößler. What good are 400 additional AI-generated UI tests, if we don’t want to maintain our existing human-created ones? This question lies at the heart of AI-based test generation. Recheck-web addresses this issue elegantly and without any “AI-magic” … using a whole different approach to test automation. This refreshingly unusual approach to test automation (difference testing) has many advantages over conventional test automation and he shows how to overcome the oracle problem. This approach makes tests easy to create and maintain, robust and more complete. You can use this approach today in your existing UI testing setup for websites (currently available for Selenium/Java, more to come).
What Aircrews Can Teach Software Testing Teams - XBOSoft Webinar w/Peter VarholXBOSoft
Aircrew resource management principles enable any team member to question decisions and directions that seem to be wrong. Testing teams, whose members have diverse experience and expertise that give them different perspectives, need to embrace these principles to make the right decisions.
United Flight 232 should have crashed with 296 lives lost. In contrast, Asiana Flight 214 should not have crashed at all. The critical difference between the two was the interactions of their respective aircrews. Aircrew resource management refers to how cockpit crew members work together to make flights as safe and efficient as possible. These principles have been applied to other professional fields, and should be a central practice of every testing team.
Testing teams require expertise in all aspects of software design, development, test, delivery, and operations. There can be no “command pilot” whose expertise over all aspects of testing is greater than the combined expertise and experience of others. And while the leader of the team is the final authority, he or she must listen to and consider team members whose knowledge and experience can make the difference between success and failure.
This presentation discusses how aircrew resource management has evolved to focus on expertise, collaboration, and decision-making in the cockpit. It applies these lessons to testing teams, where complementary expertise is necessary to deliver high quality and working applications, updated continuously. It highlights the characteristics of successful aircrew teams and how those characteristics apply to building and delivering great software.
Attendees will learn:
1. What testing teams can learn from successful teams in other fields.
2. How testing teams must work collaboratively, especially in crises and under pressure.
3. How blind deference to authority and automation can be detrimental to a testing team.
Agile User Acceptance Testing - Incorporating UAT into AgileXBOSoft

In this webinar, our guest speakers, Jennifer Bonine and Rick Faulise from TapQA shared their thoughts on using #BigData for #softwaretesting and #SoftwareQA. What #metrics to use and what not to use, and how to combine them together to get some real meaning and insights versus just data.
Proactive SQA™ Shifting Left w/Proactive Software Quality PracticesXBOSoft
This webinar hosted by XBOSoft featured our guest speaker, Robin Goldsmith. Robin, an expert in software requirements and business analysis, presented how to develop a definition of software quality as a first step any software development process. Although most of what is called SQA today actually is just testing, true SQA is much different from quality control (QC) testing. SQA can and should do far more, contributing proactively to assure the software process in fact does the right things well so it truly produces high quality cheaper, preventing errors or catching them earlier when they can be fixed more easily. This interactive webinar positions SQA and explains the six proactive functions it should perform to provide far greater value.

XBOSoft webinar - How Did I Miss That Bug - Cognitive Biases in Software TestingXBOSoft
Gerie Owen gives testers and test managers an understanding of how testers’ mindsets and cognitive biases influence their testing. Gerie provides tips for understanding and managing your biases to focus your attention in the right places throughout the test process so you won’t miss that obvious bug.
This webinar uses principles from the social sciences — such as Kahneman’s framework for critical thinking and Chabris and Simons’ findings on attention, perception, and memory — and short, enjoyable exercises on preconceived notions. What the participants will learn:
1. Why we aren’t as smart as we think, i.e., how we develop biases and preconceived notions.
2. How biases and preconceived notions negatively impact our approach to testing throughout the test process.
3. How to design a test approach to effectively manage the way we think during the test process.
4. Ways managers can increase their teams’ effectiveness by improving their focus.
PSQT Keynote: Quality Challenges in the Internet of Things EraXBOSoft
The Internet of Things is made up of three core elements: things, communications and computing. Things are devices connected to the Internet such as a watch, car or appliances in your home. For IoT to work, these things need to be connected, communicating statuses and other information with each other in real time. And with this information, the last element of IoT is computing and storage. What will all this information be used for? What actions can or should be taken? How and where will the information be stored, on a server, on a mobile phone? And who will it be accessible by?
IoT offers both efficiency and automation to daily life, and with an estimated 26 billion connected devices by 2020, there’s bound to be issues with security, reliability and connectivity within that enormous, intricate network. This makes the role of QA critical.
For example: security. Will someone be able to hack into my home network and then into my wearable device and steal my medical information? Then there’s data storage, the actual efficiency of the device and user interactions to account for. IoT is still growing so quickly that QA testers must be able to keep up with the increasing complexity of it as it continues to expand.
Simply making sure that the device and its software works correctly in a controlled environment in isolation is not acceptable. Yet, how can you test all the scenarios? Scenarios include not only the multitude of devices that can connect together in a combination of ecosystems, but also, the data they produce. How we develop test data sets that accurately represent the real world must also be considered, as well as how we can make sure it is secure with such a multitude of sensors collecting data. Lastly, IoT is not about devices. We still have to make sure the user has an integrated experience across devices and software. Hence, usability in IoT could be the most overlooked game breaker for IoT. In this session, find out the latest technologies, thought patterns, techniques and methods to move beyond old school QA (desktops, web and mobile) where devices work mostly in isolation.
7 Habits of Highly Effective Agile Testing - Test IstanbulXBOSoft
The Agile Manifesto, released as a set of guiding principles in 2001, is now 15 years old. And you know how teenagers can be at that age, unruly and unpredictable! Does that describe your agile process? Does testing somehow get lost and squeezed at the end?
If you are ready to move beyond wondering where agile testing fits in, want to focus your testing on the right things at the right time within the agile process, and learn how to improve your software for an optimal user experience, Phil will give you food for thought, sharing his insights on applying the “Seven Habits” to Agile Testing, as well as how to implement or reinforce each one.
You’ll learn how to strike the balance of process and documentation versus collaboration and adaptation as Phil takes you through the agile process and discusses what and where testing should be focused to be most effective in the immediate and long term. Through principles complemented with real life examples, you’ll be able to take ideas back to your organization and leave with a passion for learning, change and making a difference in your software product quality.
Managing Agile Software Projects With Risk and UncertaintyXBOSoft
In chasing velocity, we often ignore or don’t understand the uncertainties and associated risks in our processes and their results. Agile is designed to handle uncertainty in requirements as new features are requested and priorities shift. But shouldn’t we also be thinking about and mitigating the uncertainties that are unique or even introduced by using agile? Phil Lew suggests that our problem is that we sometimes carry assumptions which either cause us to spend too much effort on things we can’t control or give us unfounded comfort and reassurance. If we can’t understand the uncertainties and risks, how can we have confidence in our software as systems become more complex? Phil overlays classic risk management techniques with an agile process to identify and address the uncertainties that matter—and those that don’t. Then Phil outlines methods that you can use to address these risks while maintaining rhythm in your agile software processes. Come and learn about risks you never thought of and see how you can manage or avoid them.

Storytelling: Discover the Big Picture for Agile Efforts Webinar - Tom Cagley...XBOSoft
Peel back Agile, one layer at a time, with software consulting expert Tom Cagley.
One of the dilemmas most Agile teams face is how to generate an initial backlog. The best way to do this is by assembling a cross-functional team and using facilitated storytelling to generate a set of scenarios, which are then decomposed into features, epics, and user stories using standard grooming techniques. This process not only provides the team with the information needed to create user stories but also provides context for what is being built. Cagley will walk you through this process and how to use storytelling to your organization's advantage.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
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?

Globus Compute wth IRI Workflows - GlobusWorld 2024Globus
As part of the DOE Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) program, NERSC at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and ALCF at Argonne National Lab are working closely with General Atomics on accelerating the computing requirements of the DIII-D experiment. As part of the work the team is investigating ways to speedup the time to solution for many different parts of the DIII-D workflow including how they run jobs on HPC systems. One of these routes is looking at Globus Compute as a way to replace the current method for managing tasks and we describe a brief proof of concept showing how Globus Compute could help to schedule jobs and be a tool to connect compute at different facilities.

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.
