The Road from Quality Assurance to Quality Engineering; Testers Lead the Transformation
Quality engineering forms the underpinnings of the continuous integration process, but many Agile and DevOps teams rely on testers to perform quality assurance activities. The shift from quality assurance to quality engineering can be a bumpy road, yet it is the critical factor to effective continuous integration. By building quality in throughout the process, quality engineering enables increased velocity with increased quality. Testers are uniquely skilled and positioned to champion and lead the transformation from quality assurance to quality engineering.
In this presentation, Peter and Gerie will provide an understanding of quality engineering, discuss shift left and shift right, and provide a framework with real-life examples of how teams can evolve from quality assurance to quality engineering. We will discuss specific ways in which testers can enable the transformation to quality engineering. We will discuss the roles of testers on DevOps team, both as test specialists of performance, security and user experience as well as the role of manager of the quality engineering process. Finally, we will provide actionable advice for testers seeking to embrace and lead the transformation to Quality Engineering.

Put your TestOps shoes on! Improving Quality by Process Automation
Automate everything! That’s the most suitable description of DevOps culture. The culture that quickly created job position with the same name. Position, mostly focused on broadly defined automation, leading to fast product delivery. And the division was pretty simple: DevOps = Process automation, QA = Test automation. But is it the right approach? What about (still more and more) popular “(Dev)TestOps” term?
Classical testers are now also very often responsible for the set-up and maintenance of the major part of the Continuous Integration or Continuous Delivery environment (especially the test automation part). The main problem from the business perspective is, like always, time! E.g. many start-ups and companies in a phase of early, dynamic growth cannot afford to waste too much time on test automation. How to speed up the delivery process in that case? How to quickly generate a valuable increment?
I’ll show you how to improve and speed up the testing and delivery process by clever automation.
Vojin Popovic
Svea Ekonomi AB, SerbiaVojin Popovic is QA Manager at Svea Ekonomi. He started his career on a path to become a developer and he got into QA kind of by accident when a friend of mine convinced me to do a QA internship during a summer break in college. After the 3 week internship he fell in love with QA and the feeling has not change in 15 years.
His second career choice was psychology, psychotherapy to be more precise. He started studding it 7 years ago and have found that the synergy of the two fields is really exciting. Feel free to talk to him regarding QA or Psychology and not to forget his private interests in board gaming, D&D and travel.
Improving Communication and Teamwork Using Perceiver Element Grid (PEG)
When we communicate on a project, we assume that our team members have the same understanding of the team values as we do. Unfortunately, that is usually not the case. If we take the word "commitment" or "responsibility" or "change", they are all open to interpretation.
What it means for me to be responsible is my personal opinion, not a universal rule of what responsibility is. In all companies I have worked for the main issue in the team is communication, and usually it comes down to misunderstanding.
The perceiver element grid (PEG) allows us to come up with a common understanding of team values and roles within the team using a simple grid. Using PEG in a 45 min season you will be able to eliminate miscommunication and significantly reduce communication issues within the team. The adaptation of the PEG grind on agile teams is based on the work of psychologist Harry Procter and George Kelly.

Visual UI Testing with Percy
Along with Functional testing of the UI with Selenium and Layout testing of the UI with Galen framework it is essential to perform also Visual UI testing. Among the tools on the market I chosen Percy https://percy.io/ . Even with the free plan you have 5000 screenshots per month.
I think performing automated visual checks instead of time-consuming manual check is very good strategy for companies to be more effective and productive.
I will present the story about how we implemented Percy on our project.
I will share my experience with Percy including live demo about how to integrate it in any framework, how to run the tests, how to check the results and how to integrate it in CI process.
The talk will be for manual testers, automation testers, test managers and front-end developers
Key Takeaways:
• Why to consider invest time into UI visual testing
• Why to choose Percy for UI visual testing
• How to integrate it to your automation framework and your CI process

How children learn testing with dragons
The presentation introduces fantasy writing as a means to teach software testing to children. It uses the example of Kari Kakkonen’s fantasy book Dragons Out. This book has opened new avenues to get people interested in software testing much earlier than anyone has previously tried to do. The learning is about a combination of drawing exercises, listening or reading testing content, understanding through the power of analogies between fantasy and software testing, and exploratory testing.
The presentation shares the insights gathered from the schools and extrapolate what that can mean to learning of software testing in general. The talk will also include a condensed version of how the book project went and where it is today. The session includes an interactive element by engaging the users into a brief exploratory testing exercise.

Taking Quality to Next Level: Metrics for Improvement
Are your testing and quality assurance activities adding significant value in the eyes of your stakeholders? Do you have difficulty convincing decision-makers that they need to invest more in improving quality? Selecting metrics that stakeholders understand will get your improvement project or program past the pilot phase and reduce the risk of having it stopped in its tracks.
Anton Angelov will present a story of how his teams managed to adopt a more in-depth bug workflow. From noticing the bug to the triage process and metrics boards. There will be a real-world example of how to collect 15 essential QA metrics from Jira. To calculate them, we will use Azure Functions and visualize them though charts in Azure Power BI. At the end of the presentation, you will have many ideas on how you can optimize your existing defect management through new statuses, practices and monitor it through quality metrics, which can help you to improve your software development and testing further.

Utilizing the QA Engineers Throughout the Whole Project Lifecycle
QA is not simply a profession. It's a state of mind. Are you a fan of the "Money Heist" series? Well, there we have a great technical QA engineer who identifies the bugs by looking at the documentation/architecture and at the end provides steps to reproduce for the biggest exploit ever.
Here we'll not talk about illegal activities, but how to fully utilize the best QAs that you have. Going through tasks and creating automation scripts is what everyone thinks is sufficient, but we can bring value to every stage of the project:
• Pre-sale;
• Discovery;
• Creative;
• Active development;
• Handover.

How to improve your automated tests
Every day, more and more time and money are invested in test automation, but there are no results from the test automation at all.
Have you ever wondered is it the problem by your tests or the problem is something with the application we test. Very often test automation engineers are throwing the blame to the developers for developing bad apps but that is not the reason for test automation failures the reasons are various from: Focus on developing a framework and not tests, to not good understanding of the locators/xpaths, not familiar with solid design patterns and many other reasons.
In this presentation, I will give some solutions for improving your automated tests and establishing a solid practice for speeding up the test automation development process.

How much does it cost to run on clouds? load and performance testing of Microsoft Azure
Cloud’s cost-saving aspect (compared to traditional on-premises solutions) is one of the main selling points of cloud providers. In reality, it is really hard to estimate the price of a cloud solution.
Also, a lot of attention is given to the unlimited performance of cloud solutions. Cloud can handle huge amounts of load without any effect on performance if it is implemented accordingly. So, we need to do load and performance testing if we want to be sure that our solution will perform correctly.
In this presentation we will share the experience we’ve gotten from performance and load testing of a Microsoft Azure solution and will provide answers to the following questions:
• Can we predict the cost of the cloud?
• How to measure the performance of the cloud?
• How to detect and remove bottlenecks in our solutions?

Robot Framework “From Zero to Robot Hero“
My goal is to learn test automation, is one of the most common mantras that keeps floating amongst testers who just started their testing careers. As with all other scary sounding subjects out there, there is great unknowing on part of the less experienced testers, on how and where to start their learning journey.
I will present the case for Robot Framework, an open-source automation framework created with the idea to be quickly adopted by testers of different work experience.
Its usage of human readable syntax also makes it a perfect candidate for beginners and more experienced testers. I will also talk about robot developers, a new breed of jobs which encompasses knowledge of test automation and different robotic processes.

Extreme Shift Left. Out with the requirement engineer?
In my presentation I’m going to explore the idea of a tester doing the requirement engineering, or the inverse of a requirement engineer doing the testing. I will explain how requirements elicitation techniques, such as paradox brainstorming and 6 thinking hats can be beneficial for the tester, but also how test techniques, such as Decision Tables, can ensure a higher quality of requirements. I will elaborate on Wiegers’ prioritization matrix, Kano’s classification model and other requirement engineering tools beneficial to testers.
Join me if you want to discover the requirements engineering toolbox and how to apply this in your project.

Consensus based techniques as secret for effective entry & exit criteria
No matter you are working in agile or waterfall projects, entry & exit criteria -and even acceptance criteria- are a crucial part of a test strategy. These criteria define the conditions to be met before we start testing or before deciding to go to the next phase, sprint or going to production.
In an attempt to make them as objective as possible, testers often lose themselves in defining too long lists with entry & exit criteria. And guess what…. despite all the effort, the criteria are often ignored or minimized by stakeholders. This can be explained by so-called syndromes like the Stockholm, London or Devil’s Triangle syndrome and in the end, it causes many frustrations at the tester’s side.
Conclusion is that the missing link is often consensus and when we apply a consensus based approach, we'll end up with (more) effective criteria. This talk highlights some of those techniques (e.g. planning poker, roman voting, fist of five, 1-2-4-all, sail boat retrospective) which are common practice in agile projects. But if you adapt them slightly to a testing context, you get effective criteria. Illustrated with concrete examples, the audience will get the handles to apply them in their own context.

Low level approaches for testing AI/ML
AI and ML are new technologies that will be applied at a rapid pace. The impact of this on testing will be huge. For a large part, well-known approaches will still be sustainable. Organizations as well as testers will also have to adjust to keep up with the times. Sometimes it is hard to keep up and we still need to start with testing. The 2 approaches help to provide initial insights.
This presentation shares insights to some of the basics of AI and ML. Next, this presentation discusses two low-level approaches that are suitable for use in organizations where knowledge and resources related to AI/ML are still limited and yet can be integrated into existing test approaches. The Auditors approach and the Black hole approach to be introduced here.
These two approaches can help testers to gain new knowledge in a simple way in the short term. And soon better to understand the all-embracing approaches that are yet to be developed.

Test Strategy - waterfall legacy or game changer in Agile
What is the first thing you think about when someone mentions Test Strategy? A big document of 40+ pages with ton of theory, no one reads and is not up to date. Usually it represent those big Waterfall projects, where you first needed to write a Test Strategy and then start with tests cases and later with testing.
My experience and understanding is completely different. Based on a variety of different projects (domains, context, clients, goals), I can firmly say that each Agile project needs Test Strategy as a guidance how testing is done. It provides common understanding of testing processes, deliveries and expectations. During past few years, I helped many clients improve their testing by working (together with them) on a tailor based Test Strategy. In this talk I will explain what factors influence Test Strategy, why it must be tailor-made, because one strategy cannot fit all, and elaborate benefits we have noticed after defining Test Strategy and implementing it. Some of those Strategies were just a collection of few stickers on the wall and some were represented as quite long document(s). This talk will give you perspective on how to decide the Test Strategy definition and representation.
Key-Learning
- Why do you need Test Strategy?
- How to define it?
- Why you cannot have a template and just fill it in?

Quality via trust?!
Imagine that you are a company that creates a software for video surveillance, a.k.a. a Video Management System, or VMS.
A VMS is naturally meant to operate with various surveillance devices (IP Cameras, NVR's, DVR's, Access control boards, and the likes), most often developed and sold by other companies. Let's call some of these companies Your Partners.
Let's also say that supporting 10000+ devices from Your Partners would give you a real cutting edge over the competition.
So how do you tackle the challenge for verifying that your software works correctly agains all these devices with their Firmware/API versions?
Release once a decade?
Bet on a small army of Manual QA Engineers?
Have strong faith that new software comes with no bugs?
Or?
Come join us to find out how we have this figured out at Milestone Systems.
