Continuous Testing in DevOps… – Dan Ashby
https://danashby.co.uk/2016/10/19/continuous-testing-in-devops
Blethering about Software Testing. Continuous Testing in DevOps…. I’ve recently attended a number of conferences, some testing ones, some agile ones and some dev ones too. Although some of the talks were painful due to misunderstandings of one thing or another (be it testing, automation, agile, BDD, TDD, etc…), overall, I thought the conferences were pretty good and I met some new people too and got to share some stories with them. Here’s my hand-drawn attempt at replicating that model:. For me, testing ...

Blethering about Software Testing. Experiences of Copenhagen Context. I recently attended “Copenhagen Context” – a conference that is focussed towards context driven testing. It was based in Copenhagen – as if you hadn’t guessed that already by its name… 🙂. There were so many great talks and really inspirational speakers at the conference, so I really want to share my experience with you. The conference consisted of 2 days. I really like Tony’s style with his workshops. He lets people learn! There were ...

Blethering about Software Testing. 99 Second Talk – Customers VS Users. A 99 second talk discussing the ambiguity of the definition of Quality, being “value to someone who matters”, and discussing the differences between Customers and Users – both of which should be considered when it comes to quality and value. Me and Nehir are also performing an adapted and enhanced version of this talk at Eurostar this year. Influence: Why tea can be a great test tool. Lateral and Critical Thinking Skills for Testers.

Information, and its relationship with testing and checking – Dan Ashby

Blethering about Software Testing. Information, and its relationship with testing and checking. UPDATE: Thanks to John Stevenson for his feedback of the model, I’ve updated the model appropriately to represent the fact that checking activities also inform our testing, (as John described in the comments below). Also, thanks again to everyone else who has reviewed and fed back on the model too. So how do I simplify this? How do I get people to start understanding? So without further ado, here is the model:.

https://danashby.co.uk/2016/12/05/liverpool-tester-gathering-best-tester-meetup-ever
Blethering about Software Testing. Liverpool Tester Gathering – best tester meetup ever? My answer to my own question above: Yes! There certainly is something special going on up there… 🙂. I recently spoke at the @LplTesterGathering and what a tester gathering it was! The place was BUZZING! On top of that, the night was captured on video and streamed live through periscope – you can see it from start to finish here: https:/ www.periscope.tv/w/1YpKkANQnXYJj. Is agile a journey or is it a destination?

“Acceptance Testing” – What does it mean? – Dan Ashby
https://danashby.co.uk/2016/08/23/acceptance-testing-what-does-it-mean
Blethering about Software Testing. 8220;Acceptance Testing” – What does it mean? There are loads of people who use the term “acceptance testing”… Most people have different definitions of what this means. And more still will struggle to even define what they mean personally with the term when they say it. Anyway, Sorry for the side track on feature files… Back to this term “acceptance testing”! What does it actually mean? For me there are 2 things I like to think (or hope) it. If we form acceptance crite...

Blethering about Software Testing. I’m running for AST board membership… I need your vote! The Association of Software Testing (AST) has been running for a number of years now.

One thing I’d be looking to do, is to try and bring CAST to Europe. There is a HUMONGOUS testing communit...Additio...
