TLDR; Four JUnit @Test methods to create a FizzBuzz solution using Test Driven Development (TDD) with Java Junit.

TLDR; Do you practice your testing? One way involves picking a random game and exploiting it.

TLDR; I can view Problem Solving as Problem Identification, Problem Solution Construction, Solution Evaluation and I can map that on to Software Development to help me communicate in normal language.

TLDR; A career in Software Testing is not an ’easy’ ride, if you are not careful then you can get stuck. But if you work at it then you can make a difference to your company and the community at large.

I present a keynote at the internal Rabobank testing conference in Utrecht. Covering: Agility, Agile, Cybernetics, Integration testing, Technical Testing, Automating, and more…

Title: How to Test with Agility

• Keynote at the internal Rabobank Testing Conference on Feb 15th 2018 in Utrecht.

Synopsis:

My aim here is to tell you that I learned to work with Agility rather than work with the Agile Rituals and Definitions. And I learned to trust that working with Agility trumps Rituals and Definitions the hard way. Because sticking to rituals and definitions led to rigidity, rather than agility.

Presented as a UKStar 2018 webinar. I show how to void the use of Flaky to describe intermittent failure for your automated execution. Common causes of intermittent execution and some solutions.

TLDR; Testability is for humans. Automatability (Automatizability) is for applications.

Do you make New Year Resolutions? I set goals that I believe in, then create work plans, and adjust my expectations based on what I do, and I do change my mind based on experience. But I also, use my testing skills to do all of that.

I think most people intuitively know the difference between an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) and a POC (Proof of Concept).

But I think that sometimes people start work on an MVP when they should be working on a POC. And sometimes people don’t stop after a POC, they keep adding more features and continue proving more concepts, hoping that they will end up with an MVP.

TLDR; Migrating from Storify to Twitter, semi automatically with a simple JavaScript Snippet and Bookmarklet.

In this post I provide the code for my video showing how I migrated from Storify to Twitter Moments.
