The Test Automation Pyramid Episode 34:09

منذ 2 years34:09

34:09

This episode covers the Test Automation Pyramid, created by Mike Cohen in 2008-2009 in the book "Succeeding With Agile". We will go beyond the diagram and look at the model that supports it. Then deep dive into the model to explore it's meaning in relation to Automated Execution Coverage, not Testing. - The model was created by Mike Cohen in 2008-2009 in the book "Succeeding With Agile." - The original model focused on UI, service level, and unit level automation. - Over the years, different interpretations and variations of the model have emerged. - The term "service level" in the model has led to ambiguity and different interpretations. - The diagram in the model is a simplified representation of a deeper underlying model. - The focus should be on achieving coverage at the most appropriate level in the system. - The model addresses the importance of avoiding duplication and redundancy in automated coverage. - The process and team structure can impact the effectiveness of the model. - The model can be reframed as an automated execution coverage pyramid.…

Recruiting Testers 11:43

منذ 5 years11:43

11:43

Recruiting Testers is hard. What we want to do is minimise the friction and barriers. In this podcast I'll share some tips on what has worked for me in the past. - remove as much ambiguity from your job spec as possible - someone like me, will read 'the worst' into your ambiguity - send clear messages, not mixed messages, in the job spec - help the applicant filter out roles that are not suitable for them - when writing a job spec, review existing job specs in the world, critique them and then build on what is best from those - start with a phone interview, never start face to face - some people bluff, some people offer general answers - your job as an interviewer is to help them answer specifically and ask for more information when you want it - Interviews as auditions, held by someone who knows how to do the activity being auditioned - audition hands on with the actual code, or the actual system - use your best people for the interviews, not just anyone that is free Show Notes: https://eviltester.com/show We have more posts in our recruitment category: - https://www.eviltester.com/categories/recruitment/ And our Career category: - https://www.eviltester.com/categories/career-advice/ This video was originally released as a Patreon exclusive video back in January 2019 - https://www.patreon.com/posts/recruitment-tips-23896867…

Tips for Talking at Online Conferences 12:10

منذ 5 years12:10

More and more conferences are going online. Speakers will have to adapt. In this post I outline some recommendations based on years of online video, webinar and course creation. If you only want the summary then... - Presenting online over video is different. - Practice will help. - Practice with the kit you are going to use, and perform complete practice run throughs. - Use an external microphone. - Record your practice sessions and listen back to them to make sure your audio is good enough.

The Automate or Die Special - do you have to automate to survive in testing? 18:47

منذ 6 years18:47

18:47

Episode 10 of The Evil Tester Show I receive a lot of concerned emails and messages from testers. People concerned that their testing skills will not be enough to keep them in work and that the future revolves around automation which they don't know how to do. No programming experience. And should they learn API or UI? What programming language should they learn? People do feel that their career is at risk. And that's what I cover in this podcast to hopefully give you some tips if you do want to learn to program or code and start working on test automation, and some tips on what to do if you don't and think that software testers should not have to learn to code. There are many paths to success in testing. Show notes available at: https://eviltester.com/show…
