Test Automation is a reality!
but it’s just a tool...

Test automation is not just
driver.ﬁndBy()

It’s all about people!
Technologies is just a tool

Junior - Happy people
Middle - hotcakes
Senior - burned out
SDET - top notch

Analyze first
Selenium is not a silver bullet

Take into account
Application Architecture

Hang out with developers and
dive into technology
Otherwise go to QA Management, gmail и excel

Develop engineering culture
A great engineering culture results in getting things done
(software delivered), done right (quality), and happy
people and customers (overall satisfaction).

Thank you!

Cracking the coding interview columbia - march 23 2011

careercup

This document provides an overview of cracking the technical interview process. It discusses how interviews are structured, what companies look for, and how to prepare. Key points include: - Technical interviews typically involve an initial phone screen, followed by 4-5 on-site interviews with both general and technical questions. - Companies evaluate candidates based on their experience, personality, and problem-solving aptitude rather than specific technical knowledge. - Strong preparation involves practicing common data structures and algorithms, preparing examples of work experience and soft skills, and getting feedback through mock interviews. - During the interview, candidates should communicate clearly, think out loud, thoroughly test their code, and avoid red flags like arrogance or poor communication

Talk by Nazar Tymoshyk at NoNameCon 2019. https://nonamecon.org https://cfp.nonamecon.org/nnc2019/talk/GSRUTP/ Incident Detection & Response requires People - to Think, Tools - to provide data and analytics and Processes - to avoid fuckups and assure the quality. But with more alerts, the analysis takes more time, decisions and moreover - actions need to be taken immediately. Attackers actively use automation, so Defenders should also optimize their processes. In our presentation, we'd like to share with the community our lessons learned. Our focus would be on practical moments, the challenges we faced and the simple working solutions we discovered. We plan to challenge the audience with simple but vital questions that will help to establish a good communication bridge to make this delivery effective and valuable for engineers to improve their defense. We'd like to discuss also a variety of actions to be taken after the incident is confirmed. Come and take it.

1) The document provides an overview of the technical interview process at large tech companies and advice on how to prepare. It discusses the typical interview structure, what companies look for, and red flags. 2) It recommends getting hands-on coding experience through projects, open source contributions, or part-time work. The author's company CareerCup provides technical interview preparation resources. 3) Key tips for the interview include practicing common algorithms and data structures, thinking out loud, testing code thoroughly, and maintaining a positive attitude even if you make a mistake. Pattern matching prior problems and simplifying the problem are suggested approaches.

Test Automation is inevitable

Ladislav Martincik

This document discusses designing processes for large projects. It recommends beginning with understanding the project control triangle of schedule, resources, and scope. The speaker then discusses designing modular processes using patterns like sequential vs. parallel workflows. They emphasize generating information early, using feedback loops, observing queues, and automating tasks. Finally, the document covers optimizing teams through collaboration, motivation, inspiration, flow, and momentum.

Finding and Nurturing Tech Talent - Alex Yang and Elpie Bannister - Business ...

Alex Yang

Every growing company is engaged in an ongoing battle for ‘talent’. There aren’t enough great developers to go around and they have plenty of choices when it comes to employment, commanding high salaries, share options, and all the perks. In this talk, Elpie and Alex will share some of their experience in finding, hiring, nurturing, and developing technical talent in a fast-growing not-for-profit company (hint: it isn’t all about the salary). You will learn how maximizing culture, impact, and opportunities for personal development enables Simprints to hire effectively and stand out from the crowd. Those lessons are applicable to all businesses. Video of this talk is available here: https://businessofsoftware.wistia.com/medias/1cdn2uztc1

The document discusses the BCC Software Test Engineer Certification Program. It provides an overview of the program, including required courses that cover topics like introduction to testing, scripting, database testing, and test automation. It emphasizes building a solid foundation in software testing fundamentals before taking advanced classes. The certification can be completed in a quarter but most students take longer. The program aims to provide students with skills that are in high demand at local companies.

Test automation – the bitter truth

Viktor Slavchev

Test automation has some bitter truths that are often overlooked. While automation can help with confirmation testing of deterministic scenarios, many critical testing tasks like exploration and qualitative evaluation are not easily automated. Automation also does not necessarily decrease the costs of testing when development, maintenance, and debugging of automation code is considered. It is more accurate to consider test automation as programmatic testing rather than assuming full automation is possible. Both automated and manual testing are misleading terms, and the focus should be on using tools like automation to extend testing rather than replace human testing.

It's Automation, Not Automagic

calkelpdiver

The document discusses test automation and provides guidance on the topic. It begins by defining test automation as using tools to automate any part of the software testing process. It then addresses common myths around automation, such as that it can achieve 100% automation or solve all testing problems. The document provides advice on correcting these myths with more realistic expectations and approaches. It emphasizes that automation requires dedicated resources and is a specialized skill involving programming. Overall, the document aims to dispel common misconceptions around test automation and provide a more practical understanding.

How to Pass an Interview for Software Engineer

Doncho Minkov

The document provides tips on how to prepare for and succeed in a software engineering job interview. It discusses researching the company and position, preparing answers for common technical and behavioral questions, demonstrating problem-solving skills during the interview, and highlighting one's motivation to learn rather than focusing on salary expectations. Key points include being prepared to discuss your background and qualifications, demonstrating your thought process when solving technical problems rather than just the solution, and emphasizing personal qualities like teamwork, adaptability, and passion for the role.

sbellware

This document discusses test-driven development (TDD) and introduces a new testing library called Proof. It argues that TDD is often misunderstood and practiced incorrectly by just going through the motions without improving design. True mastery of TDD requires subtlety and experience gaining improvements through successive refinements. The document cautions that tests can violate good design principles by overly coupling code. It promotes an iterative, incremental approach to design and introduces Proof as a simple, primitive testing library that encourages encapsulation and an elaborative style of working quickly on ideas before firming up structure.

TesTrek Notes

Maira Bay de Souza

Jim McHale presented on the relationship between Agile and CMMI. While they have different origins, focusing on manufacturing versus knowledge work, they also have similarities in emphasizing iterative processes. Both aim to build processes tailored to people rather than having people follow rigid processes. McHale discussed how early testing through inspection can find most defects, saving more time than other testing methods. He encouraged QA professionals to provide data-driven process improvement through measurement and disciplined changes based on feedback.
