Test Lab

So what is this Test Lab?

In a conference, the Test Lab is a place where delegates and speakers can actually…  test. The scope of the lab is to create a context for learning by doing. The Test Lab Masters suggest exercises that we like to call “experiments”, and attendees accept the challenges they are mostly attracted to. The time to do the exercises varies from person to person: while some people are drawn by finding the tip of the iceberg for one or more experiments, some love to explore the vast depths of a challenge. This determines the time spent in the lab, which can vary from a few minutes to hours.

After each exercise is completed, Test Lab Master will give feedback for each attendee.

Example of experiments:

• Reflect on your problem solving skills while trying to find the pattern for the LED boxes
• Metrics without test cases (Session Based Test Management)
• RIMGEA your bugs
• Test ideas generation with Shmuel’s dice
• My first test script

There are no prerequisites to participate – Test Labs Masters will provide all the necessary material.

We also encourage you to come with other cool exercises and do them together. The Test Lab is an open space for any kind of learning activity to take place, including leftover discussions from talks, and so much more.

See you in the Lab at 14:00-16:45, October 17 and 10:00-16:45, October 18!
