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 ...

Experiences of Copenhagen Context – Dan Ashby

https://danashby.co.uk/2016/03/01/experiences-of-copenhagen-context

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 ...

Second Sign of Madness: The Paucity of Pass/Fail

http://secondsignofmadness.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-paucity-of-passfail.html

Second Sign of Madness. Qualitying excellentness through words. Monday, February 9, 2015. The Paucity of Pass/Fail. Pass and Fail seem to be ubiquitous terms in the testing industry. "Did the test pass? And "How many failures? Seem to be innocent questions. But what, exactly, does pass or fail mean? What does "pass" mean to you? Think about that question for a second, before you move on. Let's look at this:. That's the result of a custom computer program I wrote for this automation example. If you were m...

Exploratory Testing 3.0 | James Bach’s Blog

http://www.satisfice.com/blog/archives/1509

Creator of Rapid Software Testing. Skip to primary content. Exploratory Testing 3.0. March 16, 2015. Authors’ note: Others have already made the point we make here: that exploratory testing ought to be called testing. In fact, Michael said that about tests. In 2009, and James wrote a blog post in 2010 that seems to say that about testers. Aaron Hodder said it quite directly. In 2011, and so did Paul Gerrard. While we have long understood and taught that all testing is exploratory (here’s an example.

Too Much To Learn: March 2015

http://knowledge-anxiety.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Too Much To Learn. As a Software Tester there is always something new to learn. Join me in my futile attempt to keep up. Sunday, 29 March 2015. TestBash Workshop Day 2015. After attending the TestBash 3 conference in 2014 I found that I had enjoyed it as a source of inspiration - at the time I was wondering whether there was really a future for me in testing - but probably would have preferred something that offered more direct learning and interaction. I was really interested, therefore, to see the addi...

Talks – Dan Ashby

https://danashby.co.uk/talks

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.
