Building a Modern DevOps Enterprise Testing Organization
Slideshow
The DevOps movement is front and center across enterprises. Companies with mature systems are breaking down siloed IT departments and federating them into product development teams and departments. Testing and its practices are at the heart of these changes. Traditionally, development organizations have been filled with mostly manual testers and a limited number of automation and performance engineers. Adam Auerbach says this has to change. To keep pace with development in the new “you build it, you own it” environment, testing teams and individuals must develop new technical skills and even embrace coding in order to stay relevant and add more value to the business. Based on his experiences at Lincoln Financial and Capital One, Adam explores what the DevOps movement is all about, its core values, and proven patterns for how testing must evolve. |

Use Soap Opera Testing to Twist Real-Life Stories into Test Ideas
Slideshow
Reality is a great source of inspiration. Real-life situations can present complexities that are not always anticipated—and, as a consequence, not always handled well. Business functional tests should try to present situations that are routed in reality but also aren’t too obvious. Testing and automation pioneer Hans Buwalda came up with a concept for test design called "soap opera testing" based on this concept. It is a style of writing tests where one writes as if they were episodes in an imaginary soap opera on television. Soap opera episodes are based on real life, but usually they are more condensed and somewhat exaggerated, which are great properties for efficient and effective test design. Thinking of test development as writing soap operas can encourage creativity and be more fun. It also paves a way for nontechnical domain experts to contribute. |

5 Things That Will Impact the Future of Software Testing From the way we look at software, evaluate risks, think about complexity, design our test approach and strategy, and help to release a stable product to the customer, technology has had an influence on how we test software. And that influence will only continue as technology advances. On a high level, here are five key things we’re already seeing that are going to shape the future of software testing. |

Quality Dashboard for Software Testing I am trying to design a Quality Dashboard for software testing that can help us monitor all tickets filed for bugs, as well as other information that can help our Developmenmt Team. I wanted to make sure we monitor the trurnaroud time in resolving bugs, as well as which area of the application are we seeing most of the bugs. Also, I am not sure if possible, I would like to link it to the Sprint of the Dev Team since we are using an Agile approach in the development. Hoping to get your thoughts on this. Thank you in advance. Alan Barona |
