Menlo Innovations developed "Extreme Interviewing" to more effectively evaluate candidates for their agile teams. The process involves interviewing candidates in pairs to assess their teamwork, collaboration, and ability to work with people of different skills. Candidates participate in timed activities like estimation, planning, and unit testing with multiple partners. Facilitators observe each pair and evaluate them based on how well they demonstrate pairing behaviors. The process allows Menlo Innovations to interview many candidates in a morning and determine if their working style is a good fit for an agile environment.

The Elevator Pitch for TechStars Patriot Boot Camp - July 2012
The document discusses the art of the elevator pitch, which is a 1-2 sentence description of a business that can be delivered in less than 30 seconds. The goal is to intrigue and engage the listener to build a relationship. An effective pitch follows a formula of stating who the customer is, what problem they have, and what product or solution is being offered to address that problem. It should also include a hook about credibility or traction and differentiation from other options. The pitch should avoid generic language and focus on what the business specifically does rather than just what it is. Practice is important to develop multiple versions and refine the pitch based on feedback.

Customer interviews cause stress and anxiety for candidates due to fears of public speaking, cultural differences, and a desire for a positive outcome. However, interview myths that the customer has all the power or no preparation is needed are untrue. In reality, both parties need each other, and the best preparation involves researching the customer, reviewing one's own skills, and practicing responses to common interview questions. Understanding what the customer wants to learn about a candidate's fit for the job can help reduce fears and increase confidence.

'Team Work Within The Test Team - (E2)Q + p + P = TW' by Malini Mohankumar
Team success depends on balancing autonomy with responsiveness to external factors, rather than solely on hiring stars. Effective teams clearly define goals and roles, communicate well, and foster collaboration, trust and accountability among diverse members. Lack of these traits can lead to quality issues, as seen in the example of tester "Joe" working in isolation without support. Building high-performing teams requires ongoing focus on processes, relationships and adapting to change through lessons learned.

Case Number 39Andy Grove of Intel Entrepreneur Turned Executive.docx
Case Number 39
Andy Grove of Intel: Entrepreneur Turned Executive
Andy Grove, one of the three founders of Intel Corporation, was asked three questions by Peter F. Drucker in a 1986 interview. The three questions appear below along with Dr. Grove’s responses.
QUESTION 1
If there were one thing to tell a young man or woman who starts out with their own new business and wants to build it, what is the one absolutely essential thing you would tell them?
If I had one shot at getting something into a person’s mind or heart in this situation, it would be the concept of submerging their own self and putting it behind the interests of the enterprise. They should not put themselves ahead of the enterprise. And I can’t say that emphatically enough. Whatever problems I have seen all come from people wanting to succeed personally, wanting to be right personally, wanting to win an argument personally, wanting an organization change to propel them ahead personally, without considering what impact that desire or that change has on the organization.
Particularly when you are in the small boat with a number of other people—close proximity and pressures are high and tension is high. Getting into the people’s mind that you won’t get there any faster by positioning yourself at the bow of the boat; you’ll only get there faster if you row faster and move the boat forward. If you can get this into the founding people’s hearts and minds, you have won automatically the majority of the battles that will come up.
The only thing that matters is the enterprise. You cannot succeed if the enterprise does not succeed. And if the enterprise succeeds, there will be enough success to go around and you’ll get your share. So, my admonishment to any person in that situation is, Don’t put your ego ahead of the enterprise, because you will lose. What is right matters, not who is right.
QUESTION 2
What did you have to learn to do and what did you have to learn not to do at the beginning, when the three of you sat down and began to build the company and the business? And then how did this change once the company was successful and very large?
The job [initially] was very simple conceptually. You needed to do a certain number of things today, a certain number of things tomorrow, and a certain number of things by the end of the month. And unlike in a company like Intel today, where we are very preoccupied with the process of how to do things, we knew what to do and somebody went and did it.
This lack of interest in the process of how you are doing things started to give way to more thought to the [formal] process maybe about three years into the life of the company. For the first three years, there was no game plan; people just did things that they were naturally attracted to, and very rarely did they collide. We only hired people with very specific skills; there was no training involved. We were concerned with people right from the very beginning of the company. The nature of the con ...

The risk picture changes over time; so should your test techniques.
Yet Software Test Coverage is something that few teams understand, fewer care about, and almost no one communicate to the customer. Matt Heusser teaches how to take risk trade-offs from personal decisions in the minds of individual team members to a conscious choice made by the whole team and shared with the customer. Along the way you’ll learn about defect analysis by test technique, which includes both uncovering cracks in coverage, but also how to identify risks that might not be worth covering — saving you time and energy in your testing.
Matt’s examples include real e-commerce projects that desired to support essentially every device and browser in the existence. Learn how the team managed those risks and more!
Agile Test Evolution: Changing Test Strategy Over Time
This document discusses the Swiss Cheese Model, which views accidents as the result of multiple factors aligning in unfortunate ways, similar to how holes in slices of Swiss cheese might occasionally line up to create a pathway. The model is used to understand how isolated components within complex systems can sometimes interact to potentially create accidents or failures.
Who needs an estimate

Let's Test Together by Justin Hunter
The document provides an agenda for a hands-on testing techniques lab session titled "Let's Test Together". The agenda includes an overview of benefits of testing, exercises to illustrate challenges in testing combinations of inputs, and guidance for participants to generate their own tests for an application by considering hardware/software configurations, user types, user actions, and business rules. The objectives are to introduce an effective test design method and have participants actively create tests to change how they approach software testing.
Testing The User Centric Web
This document outlines tips for testing new web applications. It begins with an agenda that includes a history of Web 2.0, a test exercise, and tips and ideas for testing. The presenter then provides 9 tips for testing new web applications, such as testing in a dirty environment, integrating tests with software, segmenting automated tests, testing race conditions, testing in production, logging and monitoring, following popular paths, using hot-swappable rollbacks, and running your business on the application.
Is Agile Better
- The document discusses the benefits of Agile development over traditional development methods. It outlines some key differences like using whole teams, short iterations with frequent feedback, and incremental design versus "big bang" development.
- Some benefits of Agile cited include higher quality, more options/flexibility, increased visibility, and higher ROI sooner. Benefits for individuals include less cancelled work, less stress, more involvement and ownership.
- The document provides an overview of Agile practices like continuous integration, user stories, short iterations and reviews, and questions whether Agile is better than traditional methods.
Case Study: Priority Health IT Alignment
This case study discusses strategic IT alignment and cost transparency at Priority Health. It notes that Priority Health's IT budget has two components: innovation capacity and maintaining and operating systems, organization, and equipment (M.O.O.S.E.). The goal is to decrease M.O.O.S.E. spending as a percentage of the overall budget while maintaining service levels, bending the cost curve for core operations, and increasing funds for discretionary spending and new initiatives to enhance the company's competitive position.

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).

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.
