Do you get too little time and too few resources to do the testing you know needs to be done?

You’re probably a victim of testing budgets and schedules that are set irrespective of needed tests. To have a prayer of negotiating achievable testing, you need to apply proven estimation techniques, starting with positively defining needed tests and related tasks. Learn how in this interactive webinar.

Experience is a powerful teacher, but it’s also slow and painful.

Software practitioners can’t afford to make every mistake others have suffered. You can compress the education and bypass much of the pain by absorbing lessons from others who have already climbed the learning curves.

Based on Karls 50+ years of software experience and 25 years of helping software teams succeed in nearly 150 organizations, the book Software Development Pearls: Lessons from Fifty Years of Software Experience presents 60 lessons you can apply to projects regardless of the application domain, technology, development lifecycle, or your role.

These pragmatic principles, perspectives, and practices cover six crucial domains of project success: requirements, design, project management, culture and teamwork, quality, and process improvement.

In this presentation Karl briefly introduces 24 of the 60 lessons and drills down into six additional lessons. Collecting such pearls of software wisdom can pay off quickly for anyone striving to build high-quality software products.

Presenter: Karl E. Wiegers (LinkedIn profile) Principal Consultant Process Impact has provided training and consulting services worldwide on many aspects of software development, management and process improvement.

Karl is the author of many books including:

• Software Requirements 2
• Practical Project Initiation: A Handbook with Tools (Best Practices)

Testing too often gets no respect-too little time, too few resources, and increasingly omission from projects. It may be hard to admit, but these all signal your testing process is perceived as failing to deliver needed value. The key to gaining the respect you crave is to manage your testing process proactively so it cost-effectively produces results that everyone recognizes as valuable.

Learn to:

• Identify your REAL testing process and why managing it matters
• Identify keys to improving the value your testing produces
• Make it work in Agile projects, even ones without “testers”

Organizations have become more and more interested in defect prevention as a way of reducing the cost of quality. Historically, the role of the test team in software organizations has been limited to identifying and reporting problems to the development team to fix. Experience suggests that this is a very expensive way to deliver quality products.

In this webinar, Magdy will present more methods that test professionals can use to prevent defects early in the process as well as using these methods to improve the development process, the test process, and the requirement process.

These methods include:

• Closing the gap between development and testing with collaboration
• Scenario-based Development and Testing
• Asynchronous Collaborative Reviews
• Impact analysis

Presenter: Dr. Magdy Hanna PhD (LinkedIn profile) is a recognized educator, speaker and consultant in several areas of software engineering. His highly rated seminars in various topics over the last thirty-five years have spanned various aspects and capacities of software projects and processes.

He has trained over 50,000 professionals around the world over the last 20 years. As a professor of Software Engineering at the University of St. Thomas , he taught graduate courses on several software engineering topics with emphasis on practical software quality techniques.

Dr. Hanna developed new approaches and methods in software engineering including the Scenario-Based Development and Testing (SBDT), Requirement-Based Project Management (RBPM), Software Quality Engineering Methodology (SQEngineer), the Unified Data Model (UDM), and the Data-Driven Object Model ( DOM ). Dr. Hanna and his instructors conduct hundreds of free online webinars each year.

Dr. Hanna also served as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Software Test Professionals, a publication of IIST, now the Bug Free Zone.

User experience, a critical component for customers, matters more than ever. Yet, many software providers continue to prioritize investments in features that appeal to buying teams over experiences that appeal to users, focusing on where they perceive the power.

Trends like SaaS, product-led growth and the democratization of IT distribute power broadly and drive continuous software evaluation and decision cycles.

Vendors that miss this shift increase their risk of churn and slower-than-planned adoption as they ignore the voice of the user.

In this webinar Craig Roth (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Analyst & Jeff Chamberlain (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr Director Analyst; shares new research from Gartner into users’ behaviors and how they express their voice through direct acquisition, adoption, and influence.

Find out how software providers can adapt their user-focused hearing and response mechanisms to win the continuous evaluation cycle and drive high-value adoption.

Discussion Topics:

• Leverage the 5 user archetypes to drive high-value adoption
• Reduce churn by mitigating the influence of detractor behaviors on renewals
• Improve your user experience competency by cultivating the voice of the user
