TTA - closer to becoming unified dashboard for Test Trends and Status

Test Trend Analyzer (TTA), went live again today !!! We are now at version 0.5.4.

In the past week we have made a bunch of improvements and added new features - Integrating External Dashboard , which takes TTA closer towards being the central dashboard for testing status across the organization.

 

There are a couple of projects within ThoughtWorks using this, and also some other organizations.

Here is the list of new Features:

• Integration of external dashboards (add from /admin page, see integration on /home page) - this allows one to integrate different existing dashboards into TTA - to make it a one stop place for seeing all Testing related information. Example: You can integrate your defect reports from Mingle / Jira / etc., or, you can also integrate your specific Continuous Integration (CI) dashboard from Go / Jenkins / Hudson / Bamboo / etc.
  
• Compare test runs (/compare_runs) - to compare specific test runs --- 
• what are the common failures, 
• what are the unique failures, 
• what failed on date 1, but passed on date 2
• what failed on date 2, but passed on date 1
• TTA Statistics Page (/stats) - to know usage of TTA by different projects / teams in your organization
• Fixes + minor UI modification

Features available from some time:

• Test Pyramid view (/pyramid) - to see how your project's automation effort aligns with the Test Automation philosophy
• Comparative Analysis view (comparative_analysis) - to see the trend of your test automation results over a period of time, and if any patterns emerge
• Failure Analysis view (/defect_analysis) - to make better meaning of the test failures, and help you prioritize which failures should be fixed first.
• Upload Test Run Data manually (/upload) - to manually upload test data in case if you have not uploaded test data automatically to TTA, but still want to use TTA

 

More information about features, how to use TTA, etc. can be found on this blog, TTA-github, TTA-github-wiki, or by contacting me.

Building the "right" regression suite using Behavior Driven Testing (BDT)

As a last minute surprise, I have been requested to talk about Building the "right" regression suite using Behavior Driven Testing (BDT) in the World Conference on Next Generation Testing on 11/12 July 2013 in Bangalore. This is another of those topics I feel very strongly about and am very excited at this opportunity.

What this does mean though is that I have back-2-back 2 1-hour sessions at WCNGT2013 - first - Integrated Testing in Enterprises using TaaS, and immediately post lunch - the BDT talk. 

Should be fun ... and hopefully I don't mix up the content in the talks :)

Here is the high-level agenda of the topic: Building the "right" regression suite using Behavior Driven Testing (BDT):

• Overview of Agile Testing
• The Test Pyramid
• Different flavors of TDD
• BDD – Behavior Driven Development?
• ATDD – Acceptance Driven Development?
• BDT – Behavior Driven Testing?
• Difference between BDD and BDT
• Tools that support BDT
• The value proposition for the team - live documentation, business rules, onboarding, etc.

A very intense BDT workshop in vodQA Bangalore

I, with the help of my colleagues, ran a BDT workshop in vodQA - Get, Set,Test! at Bangalore on 18th May 2013.

It was a very intense workshop, and challenging for us to execute as well for various reasons:

1. When we had run this workshop as part of vodQA Geek Night in July 2012, we had the opportunity to have a couple of dry runs - which allowed us to fine tune the content + pace ourselves better
2. The vodQA Geek Night session was 2.5-3 hours in duration
3. This time around, for vodQA Bangalore, all volunteers driving the workshop were in different locations. After the workshop was selected for this vodQA, we all met face-2-face directly on  the day of the event. So there was no question of a dry run before the event
4. The duration of the workshop this time around was 1.5 hours.

Despite all the challenges, I think we managed to deliver a good, solid content workshop and all the participants seemed very engaged, and there were a lot of good discussions.

Here are all the photos from vodQA - Get, Set, Test!

The slides used in the workshop are available here. Videos will follow soon.
