Over the past decade I have crafted a toolkit of non-software tools to guide my testing. A toolkit that I use in my daily testing activities and that makes me a more responsible and professional tester. In this workshop I will introduce you to these tools and their benefits. Based on a real-world application, you will craft your own tools and learn how to use them in your projects. At the end you will have the starting point for your own personal testing toolkit.
How tools make you a better and more reliable tester.
How questionnaires help you with critical thinking, discovering risks and learning about the system under test.
How to model the system under test and how it helps in testing.
How to manage the knowledge you gather by learning about the system under test.
How lists help you to generate test ideas.
We take a look at whole development processes and how our understanding of these helps us in testing.
Florian Sommerfeldt is a test engineer with experience in the domains of e-commerce, banking, taxation, security and public transport. In these domains he has worked as a test lead, project manager, software developer and scrum master. He enjoys exploring complex systems and domains to discover the unknown. Besides his work for House of Test, he is a lecturer at the Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences, where he teaches students about risk-based testing in the CAS Software Testing.
We are going to talk a lot about testing in this workshop. So it is important to have a common understanding of what testing is.
We will learn how tools make us better testers.
Software can be large and complex. It can be hard to keep track of all the parts that make it up. Here we learn how to create different types of mental models and how they support our testing.
Testing software is about, among other things, exploring, learning, asking questions, and generating test ideas. We will learn about different types of lists that can help us with these activities across the whole development lifecycle.
The business domain and technical aspects of the system under test can be complex and large. Too much to hold in your head. We will learn how to manage all the knowledge we gain from meetings, test sessions and more. And we will learn how to use that knowledge.
Testing is only one activity that can contribute to software quality. There are many others that take place throughout the development process and beyond. We will learn how to understand this whole process, how this understanding supports our testing, and which tools to use when.
