Tutorials
Tutorial A – Part 1: Pair-Wise Testing Explained, Lee Copeland
Lee will share examples of the effectiveness of pair-wise testing and demonstrate this technique through the use of orthogonal arrays, James Bach's all-pairs algorithm, and Microsoft's PICT tool. Learn to apply this technique through a number of hands-on exercises.
Tutorial A – Part 2: Pragmatic Testing: What to Do When Your World Is Messy, Lee Copeland
Lee describes a pragmatic approach to testing when your world is messy, e.g. lack of organisational commitment to testing, poor system requirements, insufficient stakeholder involvement, ineffective testing processes, poor communication, separation of testers from developers, and lack of tester professionalism. Lee will present a set of effective responses you should consider when you find yourself in these messy situations, as well as how to determine the underlying causes of organisational messiness as a starting point for improvement. Join Lee for an examination of both pragmatic testing practices and effective improvement activities.
