Reliable Test Estimation

How do you estimate your test effort? And how reliable is that estimate? Ruud Teunissen presents a practical and useful test estimation technique directly related to the maturity of your test and development process. A reliable effort estimation approach requires five basic elements: (1) Strategy – Determine what to test (performance, functionality, etc.) and how thoroughly it must be tested. (2) Size – Yes, it does matter—not only the size of the system but also the scope of your tests. (3) Expected Quality – What factors have been established to define quality? (4) Infrastructure and Tools – Define how fast you can test. Without the proper organizational support and the necessary tools, you’ll need time you may not have. (5) Productivity – How experienced and efficient is your team? Join Ruud to improve your test estimations and achieve more realistic goal setting and test strategies.

QC/ALM11

Knud will show the whole flow from a Business Process Model (BPM) diagram into Requirement(s). Then into test cases and linking theese back to the BPM. Executing the tests from a test set and reporting a defect. Throughout Knud will show the relationships and how everything ties together.

Agil test tilgang

Hvad er agilitet? Hvordan defineres agil test tilgang? Hvad er en agil tester / test manager? Hvordan sikres en god testdækningen? Nogle typiske defekts, når man tester agilt? Dette er blot nogle af de spørgsmål jeg har stillet mig selv, siden jeg begyndte at fokusere på denne testtilgang.
Nedenstående er punkter, som Michael berører i mit foredrag omkring en agil test tilgang, hvor fokus vil være på en erfaringsmæssig opbygning af agil test i test værktøjet, Quality Center.
- Agil test handler reelt om, at kunne teste så tidligt og så ofte som muligt. Agil test tilgang fokuserer på nyudviklet kode, i modsætning til strukturerede testprocedurer.
- Fokus er, at levere værdi til kunden løbende, gennem en iterativ tilgang. Erfaringerne med agilitet har vist, at testen kan udføres mere effektivt og hurtigtige. Resultatet er, at defekts findes hurtige, hvilket i sidste ende giver færre omkostninger.
- Fra projekterfaringer, vil Michael komme ind på to eksplorative teknikker, der kan anvendes i agile test tilgange, hotspot og coffee break. Herunder processerne bag, data analyse samt opbygning i HP’s testværktøj, Quality Center i både TestPlan og TestLab.
- Hvis kvaliteten af software, skal kunne imødekomme kundens krav, er det vigtigt at sikre, at testen er tilstrækkelig udført og alle scenarier er testet. Tilstrækkelig testdækning i en agil test tilgang kan være en vanskelig opgave, men med tæt samarbejde og den rigtige holddynamik, er det ikke umuligt.

End-to-End Testing: from ad hoc towards a test level, especially in the Cloud

IT constantly increases its ability to rapidly implement new features and changes to support the continuous changing business needs. This is pushed further ahead by creating applications from available and new services (including web services, and services that encapsulate legacy systems) and increased flexibility enabled by SOA, Cloud, and Sourcing. QA & Test are pushed towards the End: all pieces have to connect and work together to provide the required services to the business. In this presentation Ruud shares with you his experiences in how to deliver the End-to End test service you need to provide: integrated, production like, automated, continuous running, end-to-end. The service covers the full application landscape. Find answers to the questions: Who is responsible? Who provides the funding? Who develops, executes, maintains the automated test scripts? Who provides the test environment & data? How do we resolve issues and bugs (responsibility)? Join Ruud to learn how to stand up to the challenge of End-to End testing.

Templates i QC11

Knud will show different possibilities with templates in QC/ALM. He will show and explain the use of template projects: how to build a template project, how to use it and how to maintain/update templates. Templates for reporting and other templates will also be covered.

Case: Rapportering i QC

NYHED: Denne session gennemføres som en case.

Sessionen starter med et interview af en testmanager om en konkret rapport, der er behov for i et projekt. Herefter viser Helge hvordan man laver netop den rapportering på et par forskellige måder.

Fra behov til endelige rapport i Quality Center.

Testautomatiseringens arkitektur(er)

QTP har i sin funktionsmåde en underforstået antagelse om en lagdelt arkitektur. Denne opbygning er videreført og videreudviklet i Business Process Testing (BPT). Disse arkitekturer udmønter sig rent praktisk et det framework der bygges i forbindelse med implementeringen af automatiseret test.

I oplægget beskrives disse underforståede antagelser og hvordan bestemte testudfordringer påvirker arkitekturen.

Extending QC and QTP beyond Software Testing

We are surrounded by software in an increasing technological world. When much of this software is resident on consumer devices such as phones and laptops, it is easy to forget that many such devices are supported by highly complex network infrastructures and electronics hardware. Without a reliable network, circuit board or chip, such devices would be worthless.

HP’s Quality Center and QuickTest Professional have long been associated with testing the content of many software applications. However, gaps are evident when you need a more holistic approach to system testing. This presentation looks at ways in which QC and QTP can be extended to cover a range of systems under test, from network infrastructures to medical systems and electronic devices as diverse as Solid State Disks (SSD’s), set top boxes and Alarm Systems.
