On Wednesday, October 22, 2014 the Quality Assurance Group and Team
Practices Group hope you will join us for a meet-up at the WMF entitled
'Exploratory Testing for Complex Software; Lessons from Cloud Foundry' with
special guest speaker Elisabeth Hendrickson [1]. We will be discussing
testing in agile iterative software development, and in particular
exploratory
testing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploratory_testing [0]. This
will be a lively and enlightening conversation, aimed at everyone concerned
about the overall quality of software - even those who do not necessarily
contribute code.
*When*: Wednesday, October 22, 2014, 6:00pm - 8:30pm (for WMF folks
there is a calendar event on the Engineering calendar)
*Where*:
Wikimedia Foundation
6th Floor, collab space
149 New Montgomery St.
San Francisco, CA
(Accessible for remote participation via Hangouts on Air; link TBA)
*From the meet-up invite
http://www.meetup.com/wikimedia-tech/events/207856222/*[2]:
In modern software development organizations, the days are gone when
separate, independent Quality Assurance departments test software only
after it is finished. Iterative development and agile methods mean that
software is constantly being created, tested, released, marketed, and used
in short, tight cycles. An important testing approach in such an
environment is called Exploratory Testing, and the Wikimedia Foundation has
made significant investments to support Exploratory Testing for its
software development projects.
Elisabeth Hendrickson is test obsessed. She was an early adopter and
vocal proponent of all aspects of agile software testing. She has been
particularly instrumental in encouraging and defining the practice of
Exploratory Testing. Elisabeth's 2013 book Explore It!: Reduce Risk and
Increase Confidence with Exploratory Testing is the standard reference on
the subject.
Join us in the Wikimedia Foundation collaboration space to hear
Elisabeth discuss her experience doing software testing for complex
projects, with particular examples of Exploratory Testing from her current
work as Director of Quality Engineering for Cloud Foundry.
This talk is for everyone involved in the overall quality of software,
and it will be of particular interest to Project Managers, Product
Managers, and those working with software development projects who do not
necessarily contribute code directly to the projects.

[1] Elisabeth Hendrickson is a tester, developer, and Agile enabler. She
wrote her first line of code in 1980, and almost immediately found her
first bug. In 2010 she won the prestigious Gordon Pask Award from the Agile
Alliance. She is best known for her Google Tech Talk on Agile Testing as
well as her wildly popular Test Heuristics Cheatsheet. In 2003, she learned
how to do Agile for real from Pivotal Labs while working as a tester on one
of their projects. In 2012 she decided it was time to take up permanent
residence in the Pivotal offices, where she is the Director of Quality
Engineering for Cloud Foundry, Pivotal's Open Source Platform as a Service
(PaaS).
