Further Illumination: Cutting through the Shared Resources Fallacy - WITH LASERS!
This workshop is for all involved in the software life cycle from requirements to release. Using laser puzzles, experience big design up front and hand offs, contrasting with collaborative whole-teams applying incremental design and continuous testing. The experiences from this workshop will help people of all levels understand the oft times hidden costs of queues and hand offs. Participants will walk away with a better appreciation for Collaboration Cues - recognizing situations in which collaboration can amplify feedback loops, delivery to the market, lower development and testing costs, and help create a vibrant workplace.
This workshop takes the previous "Seeing the Light: Using Lasers to Illuminate Hidden Collaboration Cues" session and gives it a twist - the architect role will be a shared resource, as will the QA team, both of which the development teams comprised of developers and product owners will rely!
Better Test Quality Via Mutation Testing
Modern software engineering practices have embraced testing a critical facet of delivering value to their customers with speed and safety. However, solely measuring code coverage alone is insufficient and can give a software engineering team a false sense of safety. Since test code is just 'code' like any production code, it can suffer from the same quality problems as production code. Therefore, how do you objective assess the quality of your test code? There is an answer: Mutation Testing. In this presentation, I will give an overview with examples of why you should seriously consider incorporating mutation testing into your daily software engineering cadence.
