Build your dream team
Jonas Kolvik

Vad är det som gör att man trivs på jobbet? Och varför trivs man inte? Är det någon skillnad på vad ett team producerar om alla trivs och känner att de har kul på jobbet?

När man anställer brukar anställningsproceduren vara noggrann. Men hur går det till när man rekryterar en konsult? Ofta tittar man enbart på kompetenser när man tar in en konsult. Men ingen tid eller kraft läggs på att ta hänsyn till konsultens drivkrafter eller personliga egenskaper. Finns det enkla och bra sätta att ta reda på dessa. Vi kommer att titta på hur man kan använda DISC-modellen för att ta reda på en persons beteendeprofil.

Sanningen är den att om vi skall överleva i den globala konkurrensen där produktutvecklingen blir alltmer komplex måste vi kunna skapa välfungerande och högpresterande team. Team som består av både anställda och konsulter. Team som består av människor med olika egenskaper. Vi kan ju inte ha elva vänsterbackar i ett fotbollslag.

The Drunken Hamster approach to DevOps
​Daniel Karlsson

DevOps is a common buzzword that is sold as "the solution to everything" and as such it raises a lot of questions. For instance, is it really something everyone should do or can do regardless of context? How does it work? As a Tester do you need to go from quality assurance to quality assistance to succeed? And most importantly, why shouldn't you be afraid of the drunken hamster?

​In this presentation, I will try to answer the questions above and more. I will talk about the journey I've been on together with my team over the last couple of years and the different challenges we have dealt with during our transformation to DevOps and how it changed the way I look at test forever.

Hur du får ut mest effekt av dina automatiserade tester!
Viktor Laszlo

Automatiserade tester har funnits länge men omvärlden och hur vi utvecklar mjukvara har förändrats. Det som var sanning igår gäller inte alltid idag.

Hur gör man för att med så lite arbete som möjligt få ut maximal effekt? Vilka är framgångsfaktorerna? Hur ska man automatisera testerna och vilket angreppssätt är framgŒngsrikt? Vad, eller vilka tester ska man automatisera?

Föredraget bjuder på insikter, tips och fallgropar samt belyser hur man tänker strategiskt för att maximera effekten av de automatiserade testerna.

The manual for how to start a new job
Jonas Breisel

Have you ever started a new job? Did you think of how to get a good start?
I will introduce you to a guide created by Bengt Kallenberg. His insights have helped me a lot in my last job change.
I will discuss the most important things to think of in the beginning and what you can do before you even start at the new place.

​The first 90 days of new job are particularly important. What you do and who you are then sets the scene for how good the following years will be. Statistics show that about 40% of senior managers fail their new assignments within 18 months. Even if you are not a manager the first time is really really important and challenging.

Om Jonas Breisel

Kvalitetscoaching
Jonas Hermansson

Kvalitetscoach har nu funnits som begrepp i ett antal år och börjar bli etablerat. Vi kommer i detta tal berätta om våra upplevelser och lärdomar hittills och inte minst diskutera vad vi ser är nästa steg och vad vi jobbar med nu. 

Nästa steg för att styra kvalitén och leda organisationer mot kvalitet är att jobba än hårdare med gemensamma värderingar och mål. Detta ställs på sin spets när vi har självorganiserande organisationer och kvalitetssäkrar ständigt föränderliga tekniker som AI.

Om Jonas Hermansson

Test-case quality in large-scale software-intensive systems
Vi Tran

Software quality assurance relies largely on software testing, of which fundamental units are test cases. Good test cases will increase the confidence in testing, and thereby assist product release decisions. However, the more software systems evolve, the more complex they become, which requires a larger number of additional test cases for quality checking. Hence, the maintenance and evolution of test cases should be as important as the production code.

​In this talk, I would like to discuss my thesis work, which focuses on defining and improving test-case quality in the context of large-scale software-intensive systems.

Om Vi Tran

Vi Tran obtained her Bachelor degree in Computer Engineering at National University of Singapore (NUS), and her Master degree in Software Engineering at Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH).

Your tests are special but not different
Francisco Gomes

Diversity of tests has been shown to be a beneficial property of a test suite, specially for prohibitive testing cycles. A diverse set of tests, allows us to cover a variety of parts of the system under test, with fewer tests. In his talk, Francisco will show those benefits by automatically optimising time and coverage in test execution cycles, identifying problems in test design practices, and trigger insights during team meetings.

Om Francisco Gomes

Francisco is a lecturer in Software Engineering at Chalmers and the University of Gothenburg. His research focuses on test automation and test optimisation (e.g., generation, selection and prioritization of tests), particularly, to improve continuous integration pipelines and automated maintenance of test repositories.

Forska på testautomation… Behövs det 2018?
Markus Borg

Testautomation har länge varit en självklarhet i industrin, ändå driver vi ett 3-årigt EU-projekt med 34 partners med en budget på 21 miljoner Euro. Jag kommer att motivera varför det 2018 är värt att rikta skattemedel mot testautomation.

​Därefter kommer jag presentera några nya forskningsresultat kring testvisualisering och mutationstesting samt användandet av AI för hantering av testresultat.

Human-Machine Mutualism

Automated testing is reliant on the human to conceive, design, write, analyze and maintain tests.
What if we could change this to make the machine a collaborator throughout the entire test life-cycle and not
just for automated test execution? This presentation will discuss this challenge and present future research into
the area of human-machine collaboration for automated testing.

Optimizing Testing with Risk Assessment: Approaches and Empirical Results for Practice
​Michael Felderer

Risk-based testing is a testing approach which considers risks of the software product as the basis to support decisions in all phases of the test process. Risk-based testing has a high potential to improve the software test process as it helps to optimize the allocation of resources and provides decision support for the management.

An adequate test strategy plays a key role in increasing test effectiveness and efficiency in terms of balancing product quality with cost and time-to-market. Establishing a risk-based testing approach and its integration into an existing test process is a challenging task due the lack of concrete guidelines and empirical evidence on success criteria.

​In this talk we present a practical approach for developing a risk-based test strategy. The tutorial is based on results from previous research and studies investigating the introduction of risk-based testing in large organizations as well as the application of risk in testing in small and medium enterprises.

Om Michael Felderer

Michael Felderer is a professor at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Innsbruck, Austria and a senior researcher at the Department of Software Engineering at the Blekinge Institute of Technology.

Contract testing using Pact
​Niklas Lindblad

Do you have problems with APIs breaking backwards compatibility, causing integrations to fail without you finding out until late in the process?

Do you own an API with a lot of users, where you’re afraid of removing parts because it might ruin things for others?

Are you wondering whether your mocks for external systems are up to date, or you using a test environment because you can’t guarantee that they are?

In this session, we’ll have a look at Pact (https://pact.io), a tool for contract testing using consumer driven contracts.

​It’s a way of testing things in advance and managing version control for your services, that makes sure you know exactly who will have trouble when you want to introduce breaking changes to your API.

Om Niklas Lindblad
