The document provides guidance on developing job readiness through maintaining composure during interviews, thoroughly researching the company and role, highlighting one's accomplishments, and communicating effectively. It emphasizes the importance of demonstrating problem solving skills through a project that analyzes an issue using defined steps, diagnoses the root cause, develops remedies, and ensures improvements are sustained. Completing such a project using a structured methodology can help job applicants differentiate themselves and prove their ability to think through problems and deliver results.Take ithome

1. The key takeaways from the document are to keep the problem statement broad so that many solutions can be generated, to create economical prototypes to test assumptions before full development, and that design thinking is an iterative process that requires repeating steps to reach a satisfactory product.
2. The document outlines the design thinking process as research, generating ideas, selecting ideas to prototype, prototyping and testing, then repeating the process based on feedback to incorporate learnings.
3. It concludes with reflections on introducing design thinking training and applying the process within the organization to design products, solve problems, and generate innovative ideas.Design Process
Design ProcessRida Murad
?
The document outlines the steps of the engineering design process which includes identifying needs or problems, researching potential solutions, developing possible solutions, selecting the best solution, constructing prototypes, testing and evolving the design, communicating the solution, and redesigning if needed. Some key steps involve examining current solutions to the problem, brainstorming ideas, creating tests for prototypes, and documenting results for manufacturing. The overall process is meant to develop consistent, high quality and safe engineered products and systems.Alessandro Magnani, Data Scientist, @WalmartLabs at MLconf SF - 11/13/15

- Classifying products in a fast-changing environment poses challenges for accurately evaluating classification models over time. Labeling products is expensive so labels must be used optimally.
- An evaluation framework is proposed that stores the sampling profile (probability pi of each item i being selected) for labeled items. Accuracy is calculated based on these sampling probabilities to account for non-uniform sampling.
- Given an existing sampling and extra budget, new items can be sampled optimally to minimize accuracy variance while satisfying budget constraints. This allows for better reuse of existing labels over time as products and models change.Rik Teuben - Many Can Quarrel, Fewer Can Argue

The document describes the 5 Whys technique and cause and effect analysis for problem solving. [1] The 5 Whys technique was developed in the 1930s by Toyota to repeatedly ask "Why?" to identify the root cause of a problem. [2] Cause and effect analysis uses a diagram to brainstorm potential causes within categories like people, materials, equipment that may be contributing to a problem. [3] The technique provides a structured approach to analyze problems, uncover relationships between causes, and identify solutions.Ruud Teunissen - The Awful Truth About Estimation, Have I Been Wrong All Alon...

About Joseph Ours' Presentation ¨C ¡°Bad Metric ¨C Bad!¡±
Metrics have always been used in corporate sectors, primarily as a way to gain insight into what is an otherwise invisible world. Organizations blindly adopt a set of metrics as a way of satisfying some process transparency requirement, rarely applying any statistical or scientific thought behind the measures and metrics they establish and interpret. Many metrics do not represent what people believe they do and as a result can lead to erroneous decisions. Joseph looks at some of the common and some of the humorous testing metrics and determines why they are failures. He further discusses the real purpose of metrics, metrics programs and finishes with pitfalls into which you fall.[Paul Holland] Trends in Software Testing![[Paul Holland] Trends in Software Testing](https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/paulhollandtrendsinswtesting-140717230533-phpapp01-thumbnail.jpg?width=560&fit=bounds)

It is possible for a product to pass quality assurance tests and acceptance testing without being user-friendly. It is also too easy for those of us who build digital products to make assumptions about what our users need. As a design thinker, I strive to bring the authentic voices of complex audiences into the product lifecycle through pragmatic research.
A sound design research process not only shapes digital products to be more usable, it also adds value to drive engagement.Quality Assurance

This document provides an overview of supervisors' safety roles and responsibilities. It discusses topics like tool box talks, hazard management processes, intervention, and accident prevention. Supervisors are responsible for ensuring work is done safely by conducting pre-shift briefings, observing crews for PPE and safe work practices, addressing any unsafe behaviors, and investigating any incidents that occur. The hazard management process involves identifying hazards, evaluating risks, and controlling risks using methods like elimination, substitution, engineering or administrative controls, and PPE. Supervisors must intervene if they see any unsafe conditions or acts and stop work if a serious safety risk is present. Accident prevention relies on anticipating what could go wrong, understanding causes, and taking actions to prevent incidentsBuilding Security Teams

This document discusses building security teams within an organization. It recommends starting with understanding the business risks and needs to determine hiring. Security aspects include network, infrastructure, applications, products, data, users, compliance and risk. The security team should connect with other teams through risk reviews, code reviews, partnerships, education and evangelism. It also discusses saying yes, prioritizing work, automation, and measuring success through key performance and risk indicators.Experiences with Semi-Scripted Exploratory Testing
Experiences with Semi-Scripted Exploratory TestingSimon Morley
?
The document discusses experiences with combining semi-scripted and exploratory testing approaches. It describes a case where short timelines and complex environments typically led to traditional scripted testing. A semi-scripted approach was used, involving feature walkthroughs, brainstorming test ideas, and execution with some predefined setup but freedom for exploratory testing. This transitioned teams to value investigative testing over scripted test cases and numbers, finding more issues and providing better information to stakeholders.Rapid Software Testing: Strategy
Rapid Software Testing: StrategyTechWell
?
A test strategy is the set of ideas that guides your test design. It's what explains why you test this instead of that, and why you test this way instead of that way. Strategic thinking matters because testers must make quick decisions about what needs testing right now and what can be left alone. You must be able to work through major threads without being overwhelmed by tiny details. James Bach describes how test strategy is organized around risk but is not defined before testing begins. Rather, it evolves alongside testing as we learn more about the product. We start with a vague idea of our strategy, organize it quickly, and document as needed in a concise way. In the end, the strategy can be as formal and detailed as you want it to be. In the beginning, though, we start small. If you want to focus on testing and not paperwork, this approach is for you.Secure Continuous Delivery

When organisations begin to adopt Continuous Delivery, engineering teams begin to deliver at a pace that can create a strain on other parts of the business. Security teams often struggle to adapt to this faster delivery model, but that doesn¡¯t need to be the case.
In this talk, Stuart will discuss a few ways you can take advantage of continuous delivery to make security a first class citizen of software engineering. Grounding the theory with real world experience, he¡¯ll share a few stories of how other organisations have used these ideas to transform their delivery.

The document discusses various confusions and misconceptions around software testing. It argues that there is no such thing as "manual testing" and instead testing should be viewed on a spectrum of degree of interactivity and tool support. It also discusses how testing is providing quality-related information about a product efficiently to stakeholders, and how testing involves experimentation rather than just checking. The document emphasizes the importance of understanding complex environments using the Cynefin model, and developing personal qualities like curiosity, precision, and community involvement to continually learn and improve testing practices.Blind Dates - Or the right choice of Test Users.

The pyramid approach to testtool selectionBernd Beersma
?
The document describes a pyramid approach for selecting an automated testing tool that involves 4 phases: 1) creating a long list of potential tools, 2) shortening the list to the top candidates, 3) conducting proofs of concept with top candidates, and 4) piloting the top one or two tools. Each phase involves defining requirements, evaluating tools, and ensuring stakeholder involvement before moving to the next phase. The goal is to select the best fitting tool through a structured process.The future of Test Automation
The future of Test AutomationBernd Beersma
?
The document summarizes the author's experience with test automation over the past 15+ years, from 1999 to present. It describes the evolution of test automation from (1) record and playback tools, which had maintenance issues, to (2) data-driven test automation and reuse of generic functions to reduce maintenance, but challenges remained. The author then developed (3) a generic, technology-independent test automation framework at a large insurance company project to further improve maintenance and reuse across systems.Testingexperience14 06 11_beersma
Testingexperience14 06 11_beersmaBernd Beersma
?
Automated regression testing can improve quality and reduce testing time compared to manual regression testing. However, many organizations struggle to implement automated regression testing successfully. Common pitfalls include high maintenance of automated test scripts when the system under test changes, poor quality of automated test scripts if manual test cases are simply translated to scripts without redesign, and lack of a structured process and test automation framework. The article recommends selecting the right person for automating tests, choosing tools carefully, taking a generic approach to interacting with any application regardless of technology, designing test cases as logical business flows, creating reusable interaction functions, and building in error handling and reporting capabilities.Btd erik bits bernd beersma 1.4

The document discusses setting up an Agile Support Center (ASC) for test and maintenance. It outlines three main reasons for establishing an ASC:
1. To enable reuse of knowledge and testware across teams through centralized management.
2. To facilitate flexible resourcing by efficiently using available testing time through approaches like insourcing, outsourcing, and hybrid models.
3. To provide a single point of communication for coordinating testing activities between the ASC and Scrum teams via techniques such as standardized ticket workflows and periodic planning adjustments.Recently uploaded (20)

Formal Methods: Whence and Whither? [Martin Fr?nzle Festkolloquium, 2025]Jonathan Bowen
?
Alan Turing arguably wrote the first paper on formal methods 75 years ago. Since then, there have been claims and counterclaims about formal methods. Tool development has been slow but aided by Moore¡¯s Law with the increasing power of computers. Although formal methods are not widespread in practical usage at a heavyweight level, their influence as crept into software engineering practice to the extent that they are no longer necessarily called formal methods in their use. In addition, in areas where safety and security are important, with the increasing use of computers in such applications, formal methods are a viable way to improve the reliability of such software-based systems. Their use in hardware where a mistake can be very costly is also important. This talk explores the journey of formal methods to the present day and speculates on future directions.
