TUTORIAL: Successful Test Automation

Many organizations never achieve the significant benefits that are promised from automated test execution tools. What are the secrets to test automation success? There are no secrets, but the paths to success are not commonly understood. This tutorial describes the most important automation issues that you must address, both management and technical, and helps you understand and choose the best approaches for your organization-no matter which automation tools you use, or your current state of automation.

- learn the critical management issues that must be addressed for successful test automation
- understand the key technical issues that lead to success in automation
- take away improved objectives, ways to show ROI, keyword examples and a draft automation strategy

Dorothy Graham is co-author with Mark Fewster of "Software Test Automation" and of a few other books related to QA and Testing.

TUTORIAL: How to Improve the Result of Reviews and Inspections

Inspections are described as one of the most economical and necessary techniques for eliminating and preventing defects. Reviews are often done, but usually produce only a fraction of the really important defects that should be found. Formal Inspections are often abandoned because of the perceived overhead and the experience that the expected benefits fail to materialize. The reason is that without proper education people simply don't know what to look for in documents (be it requirements, design, code, test plan, contract, or otherwise), and how to look for it.

Niels Malotaux developed an approach to effectively teaching Evolutionary Project Management (Evo) Methods, Requirements Engineering, and Review and Inspection techniques

• Explain the essence of agile methods in terms of the significant mindset change required
• Describe the main agile methods and how variations or hybrid approaches are often implemented in practice
• Describe the key quality/test considerations in moving to agile including the role of independent testing, testing without detailed requirements, testing in incremental/iterative environments and agile practices such Test Driven Development (TDD) and exploratory testing
• Describe how to optimize testing in agile environments using the TPI-model. The priority key areas in TPI and experiences in interpreting/applying them to agile testing projects will be presented
• Allow the participants to share their current experiences/challenges.
