Key-Learnings

  • There's a lot behind a successful test
  • Learning how to string the various test elements together is key
  • Modeling your work helps others to understand it

We’re not exploring strange new systems alone. And I'm not talking about our crewmates, though their role is vital. I'm talking about the vehicle in which we explore the infinite expanse of possibilities. For each person, this ship is slightly different, and carries us to a different destination. So, then, it is important that we understand how it is built, how it functions, and how we can build a new one.

This workshop will look at the fundamentals and innovations in enabling testing. We're going to take a deep dive into the elements that allow us to do our work well. Environmental configurations, directed datasets, catch-alls, charters, checkpoints, and of course criteria mapping will give us our hull, and then our tools, scripts and best practices fill in our systems. Then we will look at the innovations and improvements we can do to existing test structures using either well-understood enhancement strategies or new technology such as AI assisted Testing. Finally, we will each construct together our fleet of ships, testing them out on a mission to see if you've built the right SS Tester for you.

This workshop is for you if: 

  • You're looking to enhance your testing in a fun and tangible way 
  • You're looking for a few hours of entertainment while accidentally learning something
  • You're looking to meaningfully improve your testing using fundamentals, proven tactics and innovations  

Join us as we explore strange new worlds together.
