During this talk, we will look at the fundamentals of a ‘High Performing Team’ and how the context they operate in can help them to become ‘High Performing’. We will deep dive into the characteristics of the teams in common and some of the practices these teams use like:
– DISC to improve communication
– Refinements with Examples
– How to enable the Self-organization

In this talk, Ralph would like to share six components that will help teams to create value. Six components based on research, existing models, best practices, and my experience as a manager.

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 through charts in Azure Power BI.

The world of testing has evolved a lot over the last decade. Manual testing is under pressure by a lot of fast rages like test automation, CI/CD pipelines… And so one can wonder if traditional manual testers still have their place and will remain relevant within the future. In this talk, Wim will explain that the survival of the fittest is not about the fastest, but about the smartest where test automation and manual testing are complementary.

In this talk, he will show how to deploy an app on your local machine using Docker and Docker Compose, and run an E2E test on it. Also, he will describe the necessary changes needed to make the application deployable in such a setup—turning it into a Twelve-Factor Application.

The method proved to be very strong. It detected a fifth-order bug that was found by neither the speaker nor by 10 testers trying to find the bugs by exploratory testing. You can make the exercise to find this bug here

To summarize, by applying the tool the tests can be automated in-sprint and almost all bugs can be detected by which bugfix costs can be significantly reduced.

Lee believes that organizations don’t have to gamble with application performance. He will discuss techniques for implementing continuous performance testing in your pipeline, so you don’t have to roll the dice on your user experience. Topics will include performance testing activities at each stage of the pipeline – from the unit level through testing in production.

In this talk, we will first define what unit testing and integration testing are, and their respective pros, cons, and uses. Then, we will have a look at the unique challenges posed by integration testing.

This talk will walk through Deming’s 14 points and system of profound knowledge, and how much is still relevant for managing modern software teams.

This talk is all about code-level patterns and practices for writing GREAT component tests. It shows live how to write component tests that tick the good from all worlds: As fast as unit tests (well, almost) and as realistic as E2E.
