The document discusses defect tracking and management. It provides details on defect identification, reporting, tracking, resolution and using defect information to improve processes. A recommended structure is given for defect reports, including title, description, steps to reproduce, actual and expected results. Examples of a defect report and tracking sheet in Excel are also shown. The defect management process involves executing tests, logging discrepancies, reviewing with developers, assigning defects, retesting after fixes, and closing defects when resolved.
VB is known as a front-end tool because it is used to create the user interface, while back-end languages like SQL are used for functionality like accessing databases. Visual Basic.NET is a common front-end that interacts with back-ends like SQL Server Express or MySQL. Front-end applications are what users directly interact with, while back-end applications serve in indirect support by communicating with required resources like databases. Alpha testing identifies bugs before public release using blackbox and whitebox techniques to simulate real users, while beta testing involves real users testing the product in a real environment to reduce failure risk.
Software Testing adds organizational value in quantitative and qualitative ways. Successful organizations recognize the importance of quality. Establishing a quality-oriented mindset is the responsibility of business leadership.
In this presentation which was delivered to testers in Manchester, I help would-be performance testers to get started in performance testing. Drawing on my experiences as a performance tester and test manager, I explain the principles of performance testing and highlight some of the pitfalls.

The document discusses various types of software testing:
- Development testing includes unit, component, and system testing to discover defects.
- Release testing is done by a separate team to validate the software meets requirements before release.
- User testing involves potential users testing the system in their own environment.
The goals of testing are validation, to ensure requirements are met, and defect testing to discover faults. Automated unit testing and test-driven development help improve test coverage and regression testing.
This document discusses defect tracking and correction in software development. It defines a defect as any non-conformity to specifications. The defect discovery process involves identifying defects and notifying the development team. The developer then acknowledges, fixes, and verifies the defect. Defects go through a tracking lifecycle of being raised, reported, fixed, and closed. Defects are found through static, dynamic, and operational techniques and categorized by functionality, severity, and priority. The document outlines the contents of a defect report and explains the purpose of defect recording and reporting in the defect management process.

TechDays 2013 Juhani Lind: Acceptance Test Driven Development With VS 2012Tieturi Oy
This document discusses acceptance test-driven development (ATDD) and how it can be used with SpecFlow and Fit frameworks. ATDD uses examples to collaboratively specify requirements and drive development. SpecFlow and Fit allow writing tests in a business-readable format and automatically generating test code. They integrate tests into development to validate functionality frequently. Overall, ATDD provides an executable specification, living documentation, and feedback to aid development.
The document discusses acceptance testing frameworks, including what they are, why they are worthwhile, and what should go into one. It defines an acceptance testing framework as one that defines the format for expressing expectations, drives the application under test, executes the tests, and reports results. Frameworks help avoid issues like brittle tests and performance problems that commonly occur with tools like Selenium. Effective frameworks have components like a runner, integration, configuration, reporting, logging, and a domain-specific language. The real value is realized by integrating frameworks with continuous integration to provide timely test results. Several open source and commercial frameworks are described.
Similar to Pinpointing and Exploiting Specific Performance Bottlenecks (20)
Consistently delivering and maintaining well performing applications doesn't just happen, it requires a solid architecture, sound development, continual attention, diligence and expertise. It also requires appropriate testing, not simply of release-candidate builds, but of designs, units, integrations, and physical components... both during development and in production. The question is, how can a team accomplish all of that under all of today's pressure to deliver quickly and cheaply?
Join Scott Barber for this Keynote Address to hear about what successful organizations are doing to consistently deliver well performing applications, to learn the underlying principles and practices that enable those organizations to create, test, and maintain those well performing applications without breaking either the budget or the schedule, and what the key items are that virtually every team can implement right away, to dramatically improve the consistency and overall performance of their applications.
Testing Missions in Context From Checking to AssessmentScott Barber
Sometimes we test to find bugs.
Sometimes we test to comply with regulations.
Sometimes we test to answer a question for someone.
Sometimes we test because its what was done before.
Sometimes we’re not even sure what we are testing for, only that someone is paying us to “just test it”.
Whether or not someone has told us why we are testing, or what we are testing for, if we are being paid (or otherwise compensated) for testing, there is a reason that someone is willing to pay for that testing to be done. That reason is (or should be) our testing mission.
During this keynote, Scott Barber explores some of the most commonly assigned or assumed testing missions, shares his thoughts on contexts in which these missions may or many not be particularly valuable and, publicly for the first time, discusses a software product assessment model that he believes has the potential to dramatically improve the alignment of our assigned or assumed testing missions with the wants and needs of the businesses paying us to conduct that testing.
Performance Testing in Context; From Simple to Rocket ScienceScott Barber
When most people think of performance testing, they think about the hard parts – the very hard parts. They think about the expensive and complicated tools that are required to simulate the activity of thousands of end-users all at the same time, while collecting tens or hundreds of thousands of measurements.
In reality, many performance issues can be detected and diagnosed with exactly the tools and knowledge you already have at your disposal using information obtained from quick, easy and cheap performance tests. In fact, much of the performance related information that stakeholders need to make good decisions and development teams need to dramatically improve system performance is easily obtainable by the performance-testing layman. The trick is knowing what performance tests to apply when, and how much time/effort is worth investing based on the business importance of performance — in other words, context!
In this hands-on tutorial (bring your laptop or risk reduced value and intermittent boredom), Scott Barber will introduce you to several techniques that the performance testing layperson can use to speed up and simplify the collection of valuable performance-related information; many of which you can use during the tutorial to test your current website if it’s accessible from the classroom. You’ll also receive an introduction to the ‘rocket science’ side of performance testing along with some things that you can do to make life easier for your resident ‘performance testing rocket scientist’.
The document discusses test automation approaches for internet-based applications on embedded devices. It describes five basic approaches: unit testing in an IDE, manual testing on actual devices, external test automation, testing against simulators or emulators, and back-end testing via the internet. Each approach is outlined with pros and cons. Case studies are presented on testing the Blackberry, ESPN Mobile, and Microsoft IPTV solutions. The document was presented at a conference on quality assurance and testing for embedded systems.
Introducing the Captain of your Special Teams... The Performance Test LeadScott Barber
The document discusses using the concept of "special teams" from American football to improve software development teams. It suggests designating specialists like performance testers as the captain of the special teams to encourage collaboration. As special teams captain, specialists could make big impacts and not be micro-managed by development or test managers. This would help minimize conflicts and demonstrate trust that improves specialist effectiveness.
This document discusses improving software testing practices. It notes that testing is often seen as undervalued but does not provide as much value as it could. The document suggests that testing should focus on delivering business value and reducing risk. It also recommends that testers gain a better understanding of business goals and risks. Effective risk management requires managing knowledge, and testing practices should aim to reduce uncertainty about new technologies' future impacts through a continuous learning process.
Performance Testing on Agile Development TeamsScott Barber
The document discusses integrating performance testing into agile development lifecycles. It notes that performance testing and agile development both involve repeating cycles of planning, testing, and improving. However, bringing the two together can be complicated due to unknowns and variable notions of acceptance. The document provides keys to success, including involving management and developers, making performance part of user story acceptance, and involving performance testers throughout the development cycle.
Fluttercon 2024: Showing that you care about security - OpenSSF Scorecards fo...Chris Swan
Have you noticed the OpenSSF Scorecard badges on the official Dart and Flutter repos? It's Google's way of showing that they care about security. Practices such as pinning dependencies, branch protection, required reviews, continuous integration tests etc. are measured to provide a score and accompanying badge.

Are you interested in dipping your toes in the cloud native observability waters, but as an engineer you are not sure where to get started with tracing problems through your microservices and application landscapes on Kubernetes? Then this is the session for you, where we take you on your first steps in an active open-source project that offers a buffet of languages, challenges, and opportunities for getting started with telemetry data.
The project is called openTelemetry, but before diving into the specifics, we’ll start with de-mystifying key concepts and terms such as observability, telemetry, instrumentation, cardinality, percentile to lay a foundation. After understanding the nuts and bolts of observability and distributed traces, we’ll explore the openTelemetry community; its Special Interest Groups (SIGs), repositories, and how to become not only an end-user, but possibly a contributor.We will wrap up with an overview of the components in this project, such as the Collector, the OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP), its APIs, and its SDKs.
Attendees will leave with an understanding of key observability concepts, become grounded in distributed tracing terminology, be aware of the components of openTelemetry, and know how to take their first steps to an open-source contribution!
Key Takeaways: Open source, vendor neutral instrumentation is an exciting new reality as the industry standardizes on openTelemetry for observability. OpenTelemetry is on a mission to enable effective observability by making high-quality, portable telemetry ubiquitous. The world of observability and monitoring today has a steep learning curve and in order to achieve ubiquity, the project would benefit from growing our contributor community.

Quality Patents: Patents That Stand the Test of TimeAurora Consulting
Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality.
Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank?
** Episode Overview **
In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss:
⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality?
⦿ Why is patent quality important?
⦿ How to balance quality and budget
⦿ The importance of searching, continuations, and draftsperson domain expertise

Mitigating the Impact of State Management in Cloud Stream Processing SystemsScyllaDB
Stream processing is a crucial component of modern data infrastructure, but constructing an efficient and scalable stream processing system can be challenging. Decoupling compute and storage architecture has emerged as an effective solution to these challenges, but it can introduce high latency issues, especially when dealing with complex continuous queries that necessitate managing extra-large internal states.
In this talk, we focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with S3 storage in stream processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of S3 latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing.
Throughout the talk, we will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of S3 latency on stream processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their stream processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.
