What is Continuous Integration (CI)? Why use it? How is testing affected by CI? Do you ever sit in meetings where developers talk about Continuous Integration and wonder what it is and why they’re talking about it? Then this webinar is for you! No understanding of CI necessary! We’ll talk about where the practice originated, how it has evolved over time and why it is such a major part of the competitive landscape of software development today. We’ll go over how tests can be integrated into CI; what new roles and responsibilities emerge for testers when CI is introduced; and how CI helps testers.

A placebo is designed and used primarily for psychological benefit. Things like sugar pills, elevator door close buttons, and office thermostats aim “to please”, rather than have any other, “real” effects. Now, consider a placebo in the context of software and testing. What if “pleasing” is the only intended and expected result? How can it be tested? What does a bug look like? And, do these ideas also apply to non-placebos that have other, “real” effects? In this workshop, we’ll explore placebos, nocebos, the placebo/nocebo response, illusion and locus of control, relativism, wants, needs, and expectations, and will connect it all to testing.

In an increasingly hypothesis-driven product development world, experimenting with Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) is considered as a pragmatic approach towards building the eventual “1.0” product. MVPs allow the team to systematically validate its key hypotheses, and create a basis for making critical product decisions based on evidence from the field. In this webinar, we shall examine the theory behind testing your MVP and describe a few of the popular testing methods. We shall also consider real-life examples to illustrate the point.
