The Road to Hell and Back – Patterns in Test Automation Project Failure & Recovery

Alon Linetzki

In October 2018, Alon Linetzki is invited to give a keynote at the TAPOST 2018 conference in Riga Latvia.

the conference theme is "The Ultimate Test Automation", and Alon is going to give a keynote on: "The Road to Hell and Back – Patterns in Test Automation Project Failure & Recovery":

One of the most common stories about test automation at companies is that testers in the team start creating test automation project in a very small scale, and with time, evolving it, growing it, patching it, and… failing the project.

In the presentation, Alon will discuss the steps of evolution for that common failing story, and propose a set of indicators (“traffic lights”), course-change options (“exit points”) and mitigations (“rescue guidelines”), that can be used by test managers and test engineers to steer clear from the pitfalls of a runaway automation project.

Continuous Everything done in team collaboration

Alon Linetzki

In 18-19 October 2018, Alon Linetzki is invited to give a workshop at QS TAG, Germany. The conference theme is "Continous Everything!".

The workshop will focus on "Continuous Everything done in team collaboration":

The main and most challenging factor for all projects has always been - people. How the team is performing? how well they are communicating with each other? how fast they resolve problems together? and more. These, transformed into skills, are essential in running a continuous integration and continous delivery within agile teams, and are critical to the sucees of any project.

In the workshop, Alon Linetzki will perform a group dynamics game to simulate such team work, showing communication challenges, team grouping, shaping and suceeding capabilities for the participants to understand and use in their designated projects for enhancing their continous integration.

Key points:

  • Team Roles & their impact
  • One impacts All...All impacts one...
  • Group Dynamics for High Performance Teams
  • Communication Types, Challenges, skills and capabilities

Making Good Decisions in a Group (Agile)

Alon Linetzki

In October 2017, Alon Linetzki has spoken at QS TAG conference in Frakfurt, Germany.

The theme of the conference was 'Digital Transformation – Evolution, Innovation, Disruption', and Alon ran a workshop session from his experience with agile projects -

"Making Good Decisions in a Group":

In any project, and especially in agile projects, the team needs to make good decisions along the way. That especially matters within the context of the digital transformation era, as the time for implementation is expected to get shorter, getting things right the first time becomes essential for projects, and so deciding swiftly and correctly by the team, and moving forward - becomes critical.

How decisions are to be made in different forms of team settings, and in different project scenarios? How is that done especially in self-organized self-managing teams?

We shall introduce the topic, discuss 7 Levels of decision making, and participate in a decision - making group simulation exercise, followed by a discussion and brainstorming. Within the simulation exercise, groups will receive real-life scenarios in which the group should get a decision using different decision making methods, and will have to discuss, brainstorm and cope with those scenarios, like in real life projects. Insights shall be shared on the conference website/app.

Testing Stage 2017

Alon Linetzki

In June 2017, Alon Linetzki is going to speak at the Testing Stage Conference in Kiev, Ukraine.

The topic is going to be 'Root Cause Analysis in Testing' - 

In many cases, we pick solutions to problems without sufficient analysis. This results in implementing a cover-up of the symptom rather than a solution to the ‘real problem underneath’. When this is done, the problem will most likely to surface again in one disguise or another, and we may mishandle it, just as we mishandled it initially.

Getting into the bottom of problems, is the right way to both save money (from things to happen again in the future) and to solve the problem (which we are facing now).

QualityWize

Mr. Alon Linetzki, Founder and CEO of QualityWize, spoke at the QS-TAG, quality assurance and testing conference in Nuremberg Germany. The conference is one of the most successful conferences in last years in Germany, and in Europe, and although aimed mostly to the local market, attracts people from USA and other countries in Europe.

Mr. Linetzki spoke about Optimizing Test Design Using Tools, a hands on short workshop session that described a few optimizing methods, based on his experience in various projects, and included implementation demo and exercises practice using tools installed on the participant’s laptops (tools were given freely at the conference).

One of the most effort intensive tasks of test engineers is test design, and Mr. Linetzki has shown how we can smartly, optimize the number of test cases, and choose them based on lowering the risk, while lowering them in quantity. About 50 people at the workshop, gave feedback it was very pragmatic, and in the right level of interest and knowledge they have wanted to see.

The short session was a part of the 1-2 days’ workshop, running via QualityWize - see more here.

About Us

 

QualityWize is a solution provider, focusing on fitting the right solution to its customers. We aim to combine the right balance of SW engineering practices, processes and operation, with people and skills to fit the right solution to our customers.

We are considered to be a pragmatic solution provider, bringing practical experience to the table, and providing increased efficiency, effectiveness and ROI in our solutions.

QualityWize is connected with international partner’s w/w, assisting customers in strategic and tactical consulting and coaching, and setting up in-source and out-source teams to support implementation.

Apart of our services and solutions, we provide setting up off-shore teams of developers and testers (and team leaders to manage those) in East Europe and other places in the world. Using our well established connections in most of the SW productive world, we search for the right team for our customers, and provide the support and management if needed.

We provide Audits solutions, where companies have us in their offices once in  a while (6-12 months), performing an Audit on quality, development and testing operations, processes, tools and skills already under the improvement plan or requesting us to provide such a plan.

QualityWize was established in 2008 (as Best-Testing), by Mr. Alon Linetzki, who is the CEO and founder of the company.

Tailor Made Solution

With organizations today dealing with new technologies like Cloud, Mobile, Large Data Bases (Big-Data), and more, and with new frameworks for developing software like Scrum, XP, Kanban, LeSS and SAFe coming up fast in the market – the need for a tailored solution is rising and is needed. There is no one-size-fits-all, and we at QualityWize understand that every company and every project is different.

With that in mind, QualityWize offers tailor made solutions. Starting typically, with a Gap Analysis, finding out what are the main challenges (operation, people, processes, tools and skills), and building a solution that would fit those and will be sustainable for the company and the project. During the Gap Analysis, we can cover a variety of domains, at customer request: SW development/Engineering, Quality Assurance, Testing, Product management, release management, etc.

Our solutions are integrating many dimensions, including setting up teams (on-shore, off-shore), building up skills and capabilities (engineers and managers alike), supporting or creating solid processes and frameworks (agile and non-agile), improving existing operations and processes, enhancing engineers' skills in different areas, and more.

One of the important aspects of our tailor made solutions, is providing best of bread professionals to fit the job. That is achieved via our international partners, with which we are capable of providing off-shore teams in East Europe and other places in the world.

As our philosophy is to support our customers until they have successful improvement results, we offer a periodical external audit, after the improvement has been established and is in progress. Such an Audit typically happens once every 6-9 months (sometimes once a year), and its goal is to make sure the project is on the right track (adjustments are made where necessary), and that nothing is jeopardizing the improvement implementation progress and success.
