Future of Software Testing
Future of Software TestingKari Kakkonen This talk was given in GeoSTQB webinar on June 15, 2020. Several strengthening trends are discussed. Testing careers are evolving – there are entries into testing and out of testing. Testing is becoming a role for everyone. ISTQB, as the world’s largest testing association, provides guidance into different testing activities, supporting testing careers. Another influential aspect is the on-march of agile teams, where testing is a whole team responsibility. Then there is test automation - that is an ever-increasing domain within testing. Test automation is not taking tester jobs away, but it is transforming them, giving tools for testing. Then there is DevOps – placing testing in the middle of a largely automated delivery pipeline. There is a place for manual testing, too, but test automation has a big meaning here. Finally, Artificial Intelligence is transforming all IT task, including testing. Automation of activities can now or soon be done in a scale that wasn’t possible earlier. Do we have reason to fear for our jobs? No – AI is best placed as yet another aid for the increasing demand of good quality in software, that is more complex than ever. Soon, we couldn’t cope without AI.

Santa Barbara Agile: Exploratory Testing Explained and ExperiencedMaaret Pyhäjärvi Exploratory Testing Explained and Experienced
- Exploratory testing is an approach to software testing that involves dynamically testingsoftware without a fixed plan, using the results of previous tests to determine subsequent tests.
- It is a disciplined approach that finds unknown unknowns and helps testers examine software from different perspectives to uncover more bugs. Tests are performances rather than fixed artifacts.
- Exploratory testing requires testers to be able to strategically choose and defend their test approaches, explain what they have tested, and determine when they are done testing rather than just finding bugs randomly. It is a more systematic approach than unplanned testing.

Reports of the Death of Testing Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
Reports of the Death of Testing Have Been Greatly ExaggeratedTechWell Have you heard? It’s all over the social media. We are the “last generation of testers.” Testing is dead. No more classical testing—too much inflexible process. Context driven? That is a code phrase for do whatever. Agility? Developers do testing, and testers become developers. DevOps? Development and operations join forces—and test is not in the picture. And, companies don’t test anymore—they outsource. Ruud Teunissen believes we must save the indispensable craft of testing. Non-functional tests require special skills; new paradigms like cloud and mobile must be explored and tested; Enterprise-to-enterprise integration tests become more vital as systems grow larger and more complex. And who’s going to do that testing? Testing skills are needed to work effectively and efficiently in these new contexts. Learn to save the testing skills within your organization and do what you’ve always done best—save the day by preventing defects from going live.

W18TechWell Ruud Teunissen, an international test consultant, gave a presentation titled "Reports of the Death of Testing Have Been Greatly Exaggerated". He argued that while the role of testing is evolving, the need for testing skills and expertise remains important. Testing must adapt to new technologies like cloud, mobile, and large-scale integration projects. While the process of testing has become more flexible and specialized over time, testing still plays a vital role in preventing defects from going live.
Exploratory Testing Explained and Experienced
Exploratory Testing Explained and ExperiencedMaaret Pyhäjärvi Exploratory testing is an approach that emphasizes freedom and responsibility of individual testers in a process where continuous learning, test design, and execution occur simultaneously. It is a disciplined, planned, and controlled form of testing that focuses on continuous learning. Research has shown there is no significant difference in results between exploratory testing and preplanned test cases, but exploratory testing requires significantly less effort overall. Effective exploratory testing requires skills like making models, keeping an open mind, and risk-based testing approaches. Both the strengths and potential blind spots of exploratory testing are discussed.

Behavior Driven Development—A Guide to Agile Practices
Behavior Driven Development—A Guide to Agile PracticesTechWell It seems as if the agile methods have lots of DD’s going on. BDD – Behavior Driven Development, ATDD – Acceptance Test Driven Development and several others. Adopting BDD allows for testing to be done as early as possible in the software development life cycle, promoting accurate testing, ensuring proper test coverage, and supporting the introduction of automation testing. One challenge is understanding the characteristics and benefits of “driven” approaches. Join Josh Eastman to discover ways that BDD can be employed to describe and test system behavior, user stories, and user acceptance. Josh will discuss Gherkin - the language to capture behavior descriptions and automation with cucumber and explore the four major values of BDD to ensure product quality, while driving time and cost savings. Leave this session with a ideas to reduce the ambiguity and miscommunications that occurs during development and testing.

Continuous Quality: DevOps with Quality by Josh Eastman
Continuous Quality: DevOps with Quality by Josh EastmanQA or the Highway The document discusses continuous quality in DevOps. It notes that development is quick but testing lags, creating a conundrum. Continuous quality is described as integrating all testing activities continuously with development and delivery. This allows for immediate bug fixing, provisioning of test environments, and automated unit, functional and non-functional testing orchestrated by continuous integration and delivery tools. The key is to assess business risk coverage and establish a safety net to protect users. Continuous quality should be seamlessly integrated into the software delivery pipeline and provide actionable feedback at each stage.

Kari Kakkonen - Knowit Agile Quality ServiceKari Kakkonen The document discusses tuning agile processes through quality and testing. It recommends integrating quality from the start, using testing quadrants to plan strategies, and engaging in exploratory testing. Automating tests and using cloud tools can support continuous integration. While the typical first approach is business-focused teams, tuning may involve hiring test professionals, coaching others, and synchronizing cross-functional teams for continuous delivery. Assessing maturity, setting targets, and refreshing mindsets can help tune teams, while applying lean principles across the organization can help tune the organization overall.
Accelerate Testing in Agile through a Shared Business Domain Language
Accelerate Testing in Agile through a Shared Business Domain LanguageTechWell In agile projects, when the cycle from ideas to production shortens from months to hours, each software development activity—including testing—is impacted. Reaching this level of agility in testing requires massive automation. But test execution is only one side of the coin. How do we design and maintain tests at the required speed and scale? Testing should start very early in the development process and be used as acceptance criteria by the project stakeholders. Early test design, using a business domain language to write tests, is an efficient solution to support rapid iterations and helps align the team on the definition of done. These principles are the basis of acceptance test-driven development practices. Laurent Py shows you how the use of business domain languages enables test refactoring and accelerates automation. Come and learn how you can leverage acceptance tests and key test refactoring techniques.

There's a lot we can do, of course the big thing is to create good software that has a carbon handprint i.e. a positive impact on our customers' and user' businesses. But we should also look into how good our software is in terms of climate impact; we can measure that quality attribute too, keep making choices that are wise from energy use point of view. And in testing itself, we can be greener, using test techniques that optimize the number of test cases needed, use test automation, small on-demand test environments, agile and DevOps.

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.

Kari Kakkonen Climate Impact of Software Testing
Kari Kakkonen Climate Impact of Software TestingKari Kakkonen FiSTB Testing Assembly conference slides by me about software testing impact on climate. In other words sustainability of software testing. Or green testing. Whatever you call it, software testing also has an impact on climate (the carbon footprint), which you can minimize. But you can also have a handprint which is the positive impact of our actions to the climate.
Climate Impact of Software Testing
Climate Impact of Software TestingKari Kakkonen Software testing has a climate impact, there's a carbon footprint also from testing. Of course there's a carbon handprint too, as in most ICT - we get to reduce carbon emission elsewhere by implementing and testing good ICT. But we also need to take care of our own backyard, meaning we need to understand how we can minimize the use of test environments, optimize test sets etc. to use less energy.

Insights about children testing
Insights about children testingKari Kakkonen Slides from DSTB conference talk at Copenhagen 31.10.2023. Recap of the Dragons Out book project. How children can learn software testing through a fantasy story approach. Why should they? To get them interested in software early on, some of them ending up as coders and some as testers later on. Some feedback about children learning, from teachers and from children themselves. An exploratory testing checklist inspired by children. Insights into how children test and how professional testers can utilize that knowledge.
Climate Impact of Software Testing.pdf
Climate Impact of Software Testing.pdfKari Kakkonen Talk at Testwarez conference. I discussed the fact the climate impact of ICT and also software testing must be reduced. ICT also carries part of the carbon footprint, and even though we can help other industries minimize their carbon footprint, we can also minimize our own carbon footprint. It is there, and it can be significant if we don't optimize what we do.
I talk about test environments, using cloud, optimizing test suites, using automation for testing and for infrastructure and for continuous delivery. Throughout you can optimize.
Early quality means less cost, which luckily also means less climate impact, so it is easily argumented when making changes into how we create and test software.
Knights of Quality: Immersive talk about software testing
Knights of Quality: Immersive talk about software testingKari Kakkonen My talk at Findmore Academy in Portugal, online, on Oct 11, 2023. In the slides I discuss my own journey to be Knight of Quality but I also talk about other kinds of Knights, the knights the battle dragons, in the fantasy stories. The knights represent developers and testers, and the dragons represent defects. The talk also summarize how a fun way to learn testing (a fantasy story parallel) can give additional insights into everyday testing life.
Climate Impact of Software Testing
Climate Impact of Software TestingKari Kakkonen Kari Kakkonen presented on the climate impact of software testing and how testing practices can help minimize carbon footprint. Some key points:
1) Testing can measure the carbon footprint of software and help optimize code for lower emissions. Testing practices like test automation and optimized test execution reduce testing time and resource usage.
2) Smaller, more efficient test environments set up earlier in the development process reduce the carbon footprint of testing. Automated test environments that provide faster feedback also help.
3) Prioritizing sustainability in requirements, reviews, and test optimization can lead to easier testing and smaller carbon footprints. Practices like continuous monitoring in production also help optimize resource usage.

LSNIF: Locally-Subdivided Neural Intersection Function
LSNIF: Locally-Subdivided Neural Intersection FunctionTakahiro Harada Neural representations have shown the potential to accelerate ray casting in a conventional ray-tracing-based rendering pipeline. We introduce a novel approach called Locally-Subdivided Neural Intersection Function (LSNIF) that replaces bottom-level BVHs used as traditional geometric representations with a neural network. Our method introduces a sparse hash grid encoding scheme incorporating geometry voxelization, a scene-agnostic training data collection, and a tailored loss function. It enables the network to output not only visibility but also hit-point information and material indices. LSNIF can be trained offline for a single object, allowing us to use LSNIF as a replacement for its corresponding BVH. With these designs, the network can handle hit-point queries from any arbitrary viewpoint, supporting all types of rays in the rendering pipeline. We demonstrate that LSNIF can render a variety of scenes, including real-world scenes designed for other path tracers, while achieving a memory footprint reduction of up to 106.2x compared to a compressed BVH.

The case for on-premises AI
The case for on-premises AIPrincipled Technologies Exploring the advantages of on-premises Dell PowerEdge servers with AMD EPYC processors vs. the cloud for small to medium businesses’ AI workloads
AI initiatives can bring tremendous value to your business, but you need to support your new AI workloads effectively. That means choosing the best possible infrastructure for your needs—and many companies are finding that the cloud isn’t right for them. According to a recent Rackspace survey of IT executives, 69 percent of companies have moved some of their applications on-premises from the cloud, with half of those citing security and compliance as the reason and 44 percent citing cost.
On-premises solutions provide a number of advantages. With full control over your security infrastructure, you can be certain that all compliance requirements remain firmly in the hands of your IT team. Opting for on-premises also gives you the ability to design your infrastructure to the precise needs of that team and your new AI workloads. Depending on the workload, you may also see performance benefits, along with more predictable costs. As you start to build your next AI initiative, consider an on-premises solution utilizing AMD EPYC processor-powered Dell PowerEdge servers.
