Episode 24: How to Manage IT Technical Debt with Marcel Mersie 38:48

לפני 1 year38:48

38:48

Welcome to episode 24 of Inside The Outer Loop. In this episode, Rich Jordan and Huw Price are joined by Marcel Mersie, Technical Lead - Test, and Executive Advisor to the Dutch Tax Administration. Together, they discuss how effective communication and collaboration are crucial for managing knowledge transfer. Organisations face significant challenges when employees retire, as this often leads to knowledge leakage. To mitigate this, modelling and documentation can effectively capture and transfer critical knowledge before it’s lost. Effective communication and collaboration between teams are also crucial for seamless knowledge sharing and addressing these challenges systematically is essential. In government organisations, implementing AI and modernising technology can be particularly difficult due to the fear of making large decisions and the complexity of legacy systems. Additionally, a lack of resources and skilled personnel often poses significant obstacles. Resistance to change and comfort with existing processes further hinder progress. Therefore, improving communication and collaboration between teams is vital for the successful implementation of new technologies. Also, refactoring and addressing technical debt are important strategies to maintain efficiency and prevent future problems. Intelligent use of technology can enhance testing processes and overall organisational efficiency. At which point it's the visionary leaders who can drive essential changes for successful transformation. By adopting a systematic approach and fostering an environment of open communication and collaboration, organisations can better manage knowledge transfer and technological advancement. This ensures that critical knowledge is retained, efficiency is maintained, and future challenges are proactively addressed. Listen to the full episode to learn more!

Welcome to episode 22 of Inside The Outer Loop. In this episode, the Curiosity team, Ben Riley, James Walker and Paul Wright, talk about the importance of decoding the software development life cycle and how to foster a holistic approach to quality. James Walker describes his approach to holistic quality, through the inner and outer loop concept. The inner loop encompasses developer activity, and the outer loop focuses on the essential organisational processes. This approach helps address root causes of inefficiencies rather than quick fixes. Quick fixes like automation can exacerbate issues if not coupled with a deep understanding of root causes. James Walker refers back to his well received LinkedIn blog post related to requirements not being good enough. The team also touches on why automation receives a bad rep, why it’s better to make early actions over reactive measures to shore up quality and to avoid silver bullet fixes. Referring to their training for a marathon, James and Ben talk about the need to overcome challenges and pain points, and liken this to success in software development. Assuring quality is not about speed just to look productive, but about laying the foundation for long-term success. Committing to the challenge in the software development journey is about aligning your core developer activity with essential organisations processes. Listen to the full episode to learn more!

11:37

Welcome to episode 21 of Inside The Outer Loop. In this episode, the Curiosity team, Ben Riley, Rich Jordan, and Mantas Dvareckas, discuss the value of different methods of testing, community-driven quality and continuous learning. Ben Riley starts the conversation on the “early access” model which many game developers have started to increasingly use, and how it can help improve the quality of software. Early access allows developers to gather feedback, identify issues early and reduce costly post-release fixes, by getting the end user in front of the product as early as possible. Mantas Dvareckas highlights how getting in front of your end user, gathering feedback, and providing software that they actually want, is key to success. As someone new to the software testing and quality space, Mantas shares some of his insights on how skills from other fields, like marketing, can be transferable. These transferable skills can bring fresh perspectives and innovative approaches to testing, enhancing the overall quality. The recommendation to new testers is to look for existing best practices and resources. This continuous learning helps testers stay updated with the latest techniques, improving their effectiveness. The conversation rounds out to discuss various methods of testing software, comparing the structured approaches in traditional industries with the more community-driven methods in gaming. Community-driven feedback ensures the software meets user expectations and improves satisfaction. Mantas mentions Tekken 8, and how he participated in their alpha and beta testing, which asked players worldwide to provide feedback by playing the game and filling in surveys on their experience, which helped refine the product and improve quality. The team concludes with encouragement for listeners to be curious and proactive in their testing approaches, while not forgetting to apply continuous development principles to our own learning.

Episode 20: Overcoming Test Quality Challenges with Tom Riglar 41:12

לפני 1 year41:12

41:12

Welcome to episode 20 of Inside The Outer Loop. In this episode, Curiosity Software's Rich Jordan and James Walker, are joined by Tom Riglar, Co-Founder & CEO at Moropo. Together, they discuss the quality, automation and artificial intelligence challenges enterprises are facing, and their potential solutions. To kick off the conversation, our guest, Tom Riglar, highlights one major pain point, the complexity of mobile app testing and automation. Tom and James share their frustrations with tools like Appium and UI Automation, which often lead to high complexity and frequent failures. To address this, they advocate for a more streamlined and user-friendly approach to mobile automation tools. Additionally, they stress the importance of having clear requirements, good test cases, and robust regression test packs. Rich Jordan points out another significant pain point is organizational resistance to change, with many teams reluctant to adopt new testing methodologies. The suggested solution involves fostering a culture that embraces change and emphasizes the importance of quality assurance from the start. This includes educating teams on the benefits of early quality activities, such as static code checking and snapshot testing, which can catch issues earlier in the development cycle. Our hosts also discuss the evolving role of developers, who are increasingly required to balance coding with quality assurance tasks. The proposed solution is to redefine the developers' role to focus more on orchestrating quality activities. This shift can be facilitated by hiring quality engineers who specialize in complex testing tasks, allowing developers to concentrate on delivering business value. Lastly, James highlights the impact of AI on software quality, with the fear that the focus on productivity might compromise standards. To mitigate this, James and Tom propose a balanced approach that incorporates AI tools without neglecting essential quality assurance, ensuring that software meets high standards of reliability and performance.
