Call For Papers - EuroSTAR 2007
"Defining the Profession"
Stockholm, 3rd - 6th December, 2007
The theme of the conference is 'Defining the Profession'.
• Do you consider yourself a testing professional? Do others?
• What allows you to make that claim?
• Is there a core set of skills? Are they technical skills, people skills, or both?
• What is your single most valuable skill? Can you communicate it to others?
• Can qualifications define a professional tester?
• Can your organisation contribute a best practice to the profession?
By the end of the conference both delegates and speakers should have a far better picture of the current state of our discipline - and an opinion on the direction it should be moving in. This theme is intended to be inclusive and we will look at submissions covering all aspects of software testing. After all, if your message is of value to a professional tester attending as a delegate then it should, in some way, contribute to 'defining the profession'.
Your participation will make this a conference to remember.
We look forward hearing from you.
Thanks in advance,
Stuart Reid,
Programme Chair, EuroSTAR 2007

Testing SOA Applications And Services
This is an article from the November edition of the EuroSTAR Newsletter - STARTester, written by by Colin Robb, Mercury, UK. You can view the complete newsletter by clicking here and don't forget to subscribe to receive future issues.
Few other innovations in IT offer the transformative potential of Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA), and Gartner estimates that by 2008, 80 percent of IT initiatives will be service-oriented.
The basis of SOA is not new - composite business applications made up of separate, distributed services which can be shared and reused, from internal or external sources - we've seen it before in guises such as CORBA. However, it is the adoption of global standards which is driving the current popularity of the SOA approach.

Iterative Automation
This is an article from the November edition of the EuroSTAR Newsletter - STARTester, written by by Vijay Acharya, RelQ, UK. You can view the complete newsletter by clicking here and don't forget to subscribe to receive future issues.
In this article, I would like to share my experiences of test automation, when confronted with requirement of automating multiple products within a suite and to deliver automated scripts within short span of time.
A Peek into the Product
The product is an Industrial Engineering workflow management system, pre-dominantly used by plant design engineers. The product has series of interfaces to process information from disparate plant design systems, and sends the output in the form of 2d or 3d graphical images over an intranet portal.
The suite of four products are tightly integrated to manage the chain of activities starting from creating individual design elements to integrating and creating whole plant design diagrams.

Testing your company's IT systems and applications. A necessary job, but an easy one to tick off the list, right? You just offshore your requirements to someone sitting in a room far, far away, they test your software out of sight and you sit back, smug in the knowledge that you're realising great savings in time and money, unlike many of your competitors who are still utilising UK based software testers.

Hoover Dam and IT
This is a blog entry i wrote at http://www.techtribe.com, you need to be member of this site to view the blog.
Anyways i am recreating the same entry here again:
I have been amazed from my childhood about the Hoover Dam. It size made me feel tiny even on pictures and the stories of its construction got etched to my memory for ever. So when I got a chance to visit Hoover Dam during April 2006, I was very excited.
Excited – is a very mild word to describe my feelings. It was something that I dreamt from my childhood and was very happy to see it come through.
As our car approached the dam, my heart started racing.
The sheer size of the construction amazed me. I walked around. Saw the dam from different angles. Oh boy, I didn’t get tired even after spending 4 hours at the dam site.
I purchased books about the construction of the Hoover Dam and started back.
I started reading the book once I reached my hotel. As I kept on reading I was amazed to know the details of the construction the amount of materials used etc., but one detail caught my attention more:
“… was accepted by the Bureau of Reclamation on March 1,1936, more than two years in advance of the scheduled date of completion”
Not only Hoover Dam, the Empire state building in NY was also completed 5 months ahead of its scheduled time.
For me working in IT projects this piece of information made me think, what lacks us in delivering projects ahead of schedule and at the required quality?
Here I chose to use “required quality” as we may have to go for stringent quality depending upon the type of projects we do.
What ails the IT world? Why do projects dont end on time and are plagued with bugs? Though many articles have been written about this I thought we should learn from the construction/civil engineering peers on how they execute these mounumental projects on time and with the quality that is needed.
I pondered through the resources and I observe these may be the reasons:
1. Vision
a. The vision with these projects are created is to be admired. Clarity in thought while conceiving the projects.
2. Design
a. All the design aspects validated by qualified professionals. All the design alternates are considered and the best selected based on the impact to environment, wildlife etc., There are no two ways to design once the design is baselined
b. Design in such a way that parallel activities are always possible
3. Attention to details
a. The attention to details before start of the project, during the project and while completing the project and during each and every activity carried out
4. Coordinated execution
a. There is no blame game between the teams and every one is clear on what they are doing
5. Metrics on progress
a. Collect only Metrics that give information and not confusion
b. Filter the metrics as what the exective needs
6. A leadership that knew what its doing and what the people are doing.
a. The leadership then didn’t use complicates ERP/CRM/SCM systems and accounting softwares to manage their resources (men,material and money)
7. Innovation, which was integrated with the way design and execution, was done.
a. It is inspiring to read the innovation that has been used while constructing the Hoover dam like “large 10-ton trucks were modified to support platforms holding 30 drills which were used to prepare the rock face for dynamiting tunnels through the canyon walls”
These 7 factors provide a huge impact on the delivery of any project. I will not say that the IT projects lack this completely but the maturity in which it has been used by the construction industry even 50 years back is amazing and that is lacking in IT industry.
Have i missed any factors?
We should start looking towards construction industry for more ideas onhow they manage their projects.
So the question is will we see a day when we start delivering projects much before schedule and with required quality? Will IT mature?
what are your comments and views?

A testing puzzle that asks you identify the problem
Hi Reader,
Last week I discovered a problem I was facing at office and framed it as a puzzle that can help testers in thinking and encourage them to refine their approach to solve any such problems in testing.
There were a couple of Indian testers who took part in it and now would like to share it with you too, for a reason which I have listed below.
In order to know what the puzzle is : Testing Puzzle at office!
Now, you might wonder how important is this to you but you might find it interesting when you know from me that James Bach did crack the puzzle I put up.
Spend time solving the puzzle and if you think you have cracked the puzzle, try looking at the answer in the same blog. ( have a look at the answer only after you make an attempt cracking the puzzle )
Answer: Answering the Telephone puzzle

Seven Ways to Add Value to Your Team
The essence of leadership is influence. Good leaders are able to influence people to achieve a common goal. As a leader, your sphere of influence extends from yourself to your team and then to others outside of your team.
One of the most powerful ways to influence both your team and the rest of your organisation is to lead your team in doing things that will multiply their value to the organisation. In this article I will suggest some low-cost and achievable things that just about any team can do to greatly multiply value and effectiveness.

What are some of the hard problems related to software testing?
In my experience these problems range from things like: unclear goals, insufficient support or respect from others, using our limited time effectively, as well as the more fundamental testing techniques, covered in numerous testing books. Like you I expect there are better ways to test, and I'm always on the lookout for ideas from other fields than we may be able to adapt and adopt to enhance our testing.
