Software Testing Tutorials and Videos
Back in 2001 or so, there were some within the nascent Agile community who believed that direct collaboration between programmers and customers (or their proxies) would eventually obviate the need for professional testers. The context-driven testing community knew how unlikely that was. We are, after all, a community of critical …
A software tester and a software developer discuss their experiences working at a medical device company to improve a heart monitor’s software. They share some of their experiences of how they worked together not only to find bugs, but were involved discussions on design, deciphered the complex architecture of the …
Model-based testers design abstract tests in terms of models such as paths in graphs. Then the abstract tests need to be converted to concrete tests, which are defined in terms of implementation. The transformation from abstract tests to concrete tests have to be automated.
There is growing interest in leveraging data mining and machine learning techniques in the analysis, maintenance and testing of software systems. This talk discusses how Google uses such techniques to automatically mine system invariants, uses those invariants in monitoring our systems in real-time and alerts engineers of any potential production …
What makes an Agile tester ‘Agile’? Is there really that much difference between agile and non-agile software testing? This session takes a look at the experiences of a tester embedded into an Agile team and examines the skills an Agile tester should have in their arsenal.
If you’ve never written tests before, you probably know you *should*, but view the whole process as a bureaucratic paperwork nightmare to check off on your ready-to-ship checklist. This is the wrong way to approach testing. Tests are a solution to a problem that is important to you: does my …
