Did you hear the news? IBM Innovate is on the move for 2015. After nine great years at the Swan and Dolphin resort in Orlando, Innovate is leaving the land of children theme parks and headed back to Vegas - the adult playground in the desert. And with planning already underway, I am sure this will be a very exciting event for all who decide to attend. Why not join us? Now, if you weren't aware, the  InterConnect  website is up and running providing the most recent event information. The latest announcement is that the... [More]

Where do testers spend their time?

AlWagner 120000DGH6 | | Visits (4491)

Have you ever wondered how much time is lost to non-productive work and how test teams struggle to deal with these lost hours? Particularly when their managers believe that they are continuously testing the software being developed for the benefit of the company they work for.  If you are like me, perhaps you want to know the impact of these testing interruptions - adhoc meetings, processing email, etc? Were some tests being deferred or ignored entirely because the Testers were addressing these "busy work" requests? How... [More]

Innovate 2014: One launch pad for tomorrow's Thought Leaders

AlWagner 120000DGH6 | | Visits (4666)

Tweet
Have you ever wondered how and why certain individuals get promoted as featured speakers at conferences and events?  Is this the type of attention you would like for yourself? If you haven’t already figured it out, it is because they work very hard at promoting themselves. Their reward; credibility in the industry. They probably have a large number of social followers or their blogs are regularly read by thousands of people - people like you and me. Our reward in listening to them; we might just learn something new and innovative.... [More]

It's the final countdown - Day 4 in Quality Management and Testing @ Innovate 2013

Perhaps at some conferences the last day of sessions may be the "What do we do with this one?" type of session scheduling, but not in the Quality Management and Testing track at Innovate 2013. Thursday promises a level of quality sessions equal to those already delivered across the week.     The 4th day starts off with two sessions on Service Virtualization. The Service Virtualization for Dummies® session will net out the content from our new book . Definitely a must attend for all service virtualization newbies.... [More]

Wow time certainly does fly - 10 days until approx. 4000 people will arrive in Orlando for a week of enablement, fellowship and fun at Innovate 2013.  And for those interested in what's happening in the Quality Management and Testing track, read on as I share a brief overview and "tips" for Day 3.     Starting things off with a "Shift Left" in Room 1, this session shares insight on how to begin performance testing earlier simulating "real world" scenarios to improve the quality of today's...

How I Learned to Stop Worrying about Every Defect

monica914 060000WAY8 | | Comments (2) | Visits (6194)

Tweet
I have always loved that subtitle on Dr. Strangelove – “ How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb”  I have recently been thinking that better, faster, cheaper with continuous delivery and continuous testing means we really have to stop worrying about every defect. Which led me to Dr. Strangelove .  It’s equally mind bending in some ways … so many years of looking under every rock for those defects. The worst possible thing was an “escape” to production and its requisite... [More]

I’m putting the finishing touches on my presentation for Innovate 2013 called " What’s the Real Deal with Testing? "  My session will be Wednesday, June 5 th at 11:15 am. We’re going to have 90 minutes to talk about the real problems facing testers. Like what is this “continuous testing” thing? How much time do you spend setting up test environments and what’s the hardest part? Are you doing unattended testing? Do you want to?   Join me for these topics and much, much more! If you...

  First off and as I am Canadian eh, I have to apologize for my tardiness between posts. Don't really know why I am apologizing - it is just something we Canadians seem to do. However, I know many are probably wondering what is going on at Innovate so here is a little insight  aboot  day 2 in the Quality Management and Testing track. First off, let's talk a little about Service Virtualization. For those who don't know what this means,  "Service Virtualization is the ability to simulate the behavior of select... [More]

The tester’s version of “The Apprentice”

A colleague shared this article   with me and much of the thinking aligns with where I’ve been landing on the topic of continuous testing.  Of course, when reading the article, one thing jumps right out …. When the author, Marnie Hutcheson,  expressed concerns about being able to complete the testing in the time frame specified (30 hours of testing, twice, over a weekend), she was, um, fired. Felt to me as abrupt as hearing “you’re fired” on a certain television show.  And the most amazing... [More]

Managing test automation in continuous testing

I’m still thinking about what the right content should be for continuous testing. My previous blog was about thinking about what test content matters. But there’s also the consideration of how much content and considering avoiding waste of building too much automation.   I’ve had the experience several times of too much success (amazing, right?) in building automation.  In those days, it was actually great to have a robust test automation suite that took 12-18 hours to run. We actually measured our success at... [More]
