Zero to One - Notes on quality for startups
•
1 like•475 views
Yann Person provides advice on how to start quality assurance (QA) for startups that typically have limited resources and no existing QA processes. The document recommends (1) building basic automated tests for critical features, (2) monitoring products by logging errors and checking patterns, and (3) working with developers to discuss quality and train them on QA tools. The goal is to establish an initial QA process that can be improved over time within the constraints of a startup.

Agille Testing Meetup 1
This document summarizes the agenda and discussion at an Agile Testing meetup group. It introduces the purpose of the group as a place for testers to share experiences and learn new skills in Agile Testing. Key topics discussed include the benefits of testing earlier in the development cycle using automated tools. A demonstration was given of a keyword driven web testing solution using WebDriver and FitNesse. Attendees then shared challenges with testing in Agile and ideas for future meetup activities.
Agile India: Working without Product Owner
The document describes an experiment conducted by a software development team where they worked without a dedicated Product Owner for 3 months. In the experiment, the team was directly responsible for interacting with customers and prioritizing work. After the experiment, the team found that they were able to deliver more while being more customer-focused without a Product Owner acting as a proxy between them and customers. The team realized they did not need the structure of a Product Owner after a few months of the experiment.

AGRS2019: Breaking illusions with Testing
The document discusses how testers break illusions about code by finding issues and areas for improvement. It provides examples of common illusions such as code working as intended, the product meeting requirements, and the development process supporting changes. The document advocates an exploratory testing approach using heuristics to generate new test ideas and pushing software to its limits. It also emphasizes the value of learning from testing and having a mindset of continuous improvement.
Joe Beale - Automation is What We Do
Joseph Beale, an automation lead, aims to convince others of the benefits of test automation over manual testing. He argues that automation saves significant time, increases testing capacity, allows for more frequent testing, and helps teams implement continuous integration and delivery. However, some resist automation due to concerns over time, resources, costs and skills. Beale counters that automation pays off with proper planning and teamwork, and that maintaining automated tests is better than the risks of manual testing. He closes by stating that as IT professionals, automation is something teams should embrace.

Check This - Test Automation, A Development Managers View
Test automation belongs to the testers and as testers we care about quality more than the rest of the development team do, right? It’s easy to think this. I know, I’ve been there, as a Tester and a Test Manager.
But now I manage the whole development team and can see how the whole team should use test automation. And how we could get more efficient as a team when we all became responsible for quality.

Chaining the Beast - Testing Wonder Applications in the Real World
This document discusses the importance of testing applications in the real world. It covers various types of testing including catching regressions, checking new features, and addressing issues like incorrect data or slow page responses. Specific testing methodologies are mentioned, like verifying models and business logic. The importance of usability testing is also covered, such as checking the appearance and interactivity of applications. Automated testing tools like Selenium are recommended for testing functionality across different browsers. Building invariant test pages can help find faults and browser-specific problems.
Selenium as a trend
The document summarizes some key points about using Selenium for test automation:
1. Common traps to avoid include choosing Selenium solely based on trends, automating all tests without consideration for test types, and initiating automation late in the development cycle.
2. An example project story describes using Selenium with Java, Jenkins, and a page object pattern for tests of a PHP ecommerce site.
3. Issues that can arise include tests becoming difficult to maintain over time and new features breaking many existing tests. This leads to wasted effort and unhappy stakeholders.

Making Strategic Decisions by fmr Capital One Dir. Digital PM
Main takeaways:
- You'll learn a decision-making framework to use with your teams and in your work.
- You'll see how the framework was used in a real-life buy vs. build decision for an app-based startup.
- You'll work through your own strategic decision in order to apply the framework directly.
SAMPLE SIZE – The indispensable A/B test calculation that you’re not making
If you’re a marketer it’s very likely that you’ve run an A/B test. It’s also likely that you’ve never calculated the sample size for your tests, and instead, you run tests until they reach statistical significance. If this is the case, your strategy is statistically flawed. Conforming to sample size requires marketers to wait longer for test results, but choosing to ignore it will bear false positives and lead to bad decisions.
This deck was created for an email audience for there are valuable lessons for anyone who runs A/B tests.

Fail and Win: Why a Failed Test Isn’t a Bad Thing
Caleb Whitmore, CEO, Analytics Pros
Ryan Lillis, Strategic Optimization Consultant, Optimizely
Here's something you don't expect to hear at a CRO conference: most A/B tests don't produce a variation that's better than what you already have.
If all you're doing is running an A/B test, viewing select metrics, and giving a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down," you won't have a successful optimization program — even if you happen upon a few "winners."
But you don't have to run your optimization program this way.
A/B testing done right allows you to draw winning insights from "losing" tests that have the power to genuinely affect your business.
Caleb Whitmore, Founder and CEO of Analytics Pros, shows that you can achieve a 360-degree view of data that leverages your analytics engine as well as your testing platform to drive deep and genuine insights about the effects of your tests.
You'll learn a holistic approach to testing that goes way beyond "winners" and "losers."
A/B Testing and the Infinite Monkey Theory
Surveys show that on average only 1 out of 7 A/B tests run by e-commerces end up to be successful. Lukasz Twardowski, the CEO of UseItBetter, tries to explain how some of the most successful online businesses master this process turning it into iterative, evidence-led experimentation at scale programme.

Great! another bug
The team found a bug in their code related to parsing datetime values. They thanked the developer who reported the bug and worked to reproduce and understand the root cause. They added a failing test case, fixed the code, and reran all tests to confirm the fix worked. Based on their analysis, they identified ways to improve testing practices and prevent similar bugs. They searched the code for other similar datetime parsing issues, finding two additional bugs. The team is committed to continuously improving their processes to deliver high quality code.
Test Strategy-The real silver bullet in testing by Matthew Eakin
This document provides an overview of creating a testing strategy. It begins with explaining why a testing strategy is important, as testing accounts for a large portion of IT budgets. It then discusses the key questions a testing strategy should answer: what to test, where to test, when to test, how to test, and who will test.
The document outlines a process for creating a testing strategy, including assessing the current state, defining a future vision, and creating a roadmap to get from the current to future state. It provides examples of what to include under each section of the strategy, such as system architecture under "what to test" and test environments under "where to test". Overall, the document provides guidance on developing a
Павло Камишов “Health check model: refined edition” Lviv Project Management Day
This document summarizes Pavel Kamyshov's approach to conducting health checks for teams working on projects. Some key points:
- The model is refined from Spotify's squad health check model and focuses on collecting feedback from individuals rather than just the team level.
- Feedback is collected anonymously on topics selected jointly by the team and coach. Checks are done once every 1-2 months through individual conversations.
- Characteristics like code quality, development process, team atmosphere, and overall satisfaction are evaluated. Trends over time can be identified from the collected data.
- Previous health checks helped improve areas like codebase health, suitable processes, and overall project satisfaction. Initiative groups were formed to address issues

Lean and agile 2011 04 15
Lean startups fuse customer development, lean production, and continuous delivery. They follow four steps: customer discovery to identify problems, customer validation to test solutions, customer creation to begin sales, and company building. The methodology emphasizes eliminating waste and continuous learning through building minimum viable products and validating assumptions with customers via a "pivot" as needed. Key techniques include agile development, continuous integration and deployment to learn quickly through fast iterations.
2010 10 15 the lean startup at tech_hub london
The document discusses the key principles of the Lean Startup methodology for building startups under conditions of extreme uncertainty. It advocates for an approach of continuous experimentation through building minimum viable products, obtaining rapid customer feedback through metrics like split testing, and using this validated learning to iteratively pivot or evolve the product or business model. The goal is to minimize the time required to progress through the build-measure-learn feedback loop in order to increase the chances of success before running out of resources.

It dispels four common myths: that Lean means cheap, that it only applies to web/internet companies, that Lean Startups are small, and that they replace vision with data. It then provides an overview of Lean Startup principles like building a Minimum Viable Product, conducting rapid split tests, and achieving continuous deployment through small, frequent code releases.
Learn to see, measure and automate with value stream management
This document discusses using value stream management to see, measure, and automate software delivery processes. It begins by explaining that traditional value stream maps can physically show material and information flows, but software delivery value streams are less tangible. The presentation then demonstrates how to map different flows in a software value stream, including request, development, and operations flows. It also discusses the importance of measuring key metrics in each flow in order to identify improvement opportunities. Finally, it explains how applying lean principles like reducing waste and creating flow can help optimize the software delivery value stream to improve outcomes like quality, speed, and productivity.

The document discusses the Lean Startup methodology. It introduces key Lean Startup principles like entrepreneurs are everywhere, entrepreneurship is management, validated learning, build-measure-learn, and innovation accounting. It emphasizes the importance of the minimum viable product to test ideas quickly and learn through customer feedback, continuous deployment to learn from customers rapidly, and using metrics like split testing to validate hypotheses. The overall goal is to minimize the time and resources spent on products that do not meet customer needs.
Get Faster - While You're Getting Better
The document discusses strategies for software product development that balance speed and quality, including:
1) Focusing on getting a minimum viable product to market quickly through short iterative development cycles rather than extensive planning.
2) Establishing processes like continuous integration, source control, and automated testing to catch defects early and allow fast iteration.
3) Hiring selectively and spreading ownership of the product across a small team to allow flexibility over bureaucracy.
Automated tests
There are many types of automatic tests, testing tools, libraries and approaches.
Automatic tests can save you a lot of stress but can also became a kind of a nightmare.
This presentation is an overview of what's available and how to use and not to use them to make them really useful.
Examples taken from PHP world. You might be surprised how many tools is available.

PHP has a plethora of tools for us to use to effectively code and maintain our projects; and the best part is that they are generally inexpensive or even free. The trick is finding and using these tools effectively in a workflow that the developer can use.
AgilkeMK_Testing2.1
The document provides an overview of changes in the field of quality assurance (QA) and testing. It discusses how QA is becoming more collaborative and integrated earlier in the development process.

The document discusses Lean Startup principles including building minimum viable products and using validated learning through continuous deployment, A/B testing, and metrics. It emphasizes releasing early and often to get fast customer feedback, pivoting if needed, and minimizing the time between learning cycles. The goal is to maximize learning while minimizing costs through iterative experimentation.
Open Source Software Development Practices that Works
The document discusses open source software development practices that focus on being agile and iterative. Some key practices include using user stories instead of heavy documentation, delivering working software in short iterations, estimating tasks by breaking work down, respecting teammates, having daily standups, keeping to-do lists short, writing tests, holding retrospectives, and continuously improving through learning and adjustments. The overall message is that these agile practices work because they are simple, allow flexibility to adapt to changes, and focus on delivering working software.
How to successfully grow a code review culture
As a team grows, code ownership is distributed. Code review becomes increasingly important to support the maintainability of complex codebases. An effective code base is on that can be worked on collaboratively by a team.
In this talk we'll discuss how to introduce a successful code review culture to your development team that will foster the idea of shared ownership. This in turn will result in a happy and healthy code base.

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.

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:
