In this episode we talk about software testing with Emma Armstrong. We talk about what makes a good tester, and we discuss testing katas as a way to introduce and practice testing.

Emma is a test engineer and all-round do-gooder at Red Gate Software and has been baking quality into software for over 13 years. In that time she’s gotten her hands dirty with both manual and automated testing and had the opportunity to dig into everything from compilers to web applications. She’s worked with most methodologies, gotten to grips with technologies ranging from chipset hardware to UI (and everything in between), managed test teams and is currently working on one of Red Gate’s latest developer tools.

From the BuildStuff Conference 2013, we bring you an interview with Tom Gilb. Tom is the author of nine published books, and hundreds of papers on Agile and related subjects. His latest book ‘Competitive Engineering’ (CE) is a detailed handbook on the standards for the 'Evo' (Evolutionary) Agile Method, and also for Agile Spec QC. The CE book also, uniquely in the Agile community, defines an Agile Planning Language, called 'Planguage' for Quality Value Delivery Management. His 1988 book, Principles of Software Engineering Management (now in 20th Printing) is the publicly acknowledged source of inspiration from leaders in the Agile community (Beck, Highsmith, and many more), regarding iterative and incremental development methods.

In this interview Tom speaks about how software development should be value driven, and how to go about achieving it.

Kevlin shares his thoughts on the software craftmanship movement and states his opinion on the discussion whether our profession is a form of engineering or not. In some parts of this discussion we refer to the Hot-or-Not presentation that Kevlin gave the night before the interview at Sioux, the Netherlands. You can find the slides of this presentation here.

• Kevlin (co) authored two books of the Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture serie: volume 4 is a worked example of patterns for distributed computing and the 5th volume is a book on the concepts of patterns.
• In the podcast Kevlin refers to a famous quote of Jason Gorman: 'Software craftsmanship's not the "next big thing". It's an attempt to articulate what the "thing" always was'.
• Scrum can be seen as a 'Nomic' game, which is a game in which changing the rules is one of the rules.
• In a presentation called 'With Economy and Elegance - Software Engineering reclaimed' (slides here) Kevlin explains that Software Engineering is a form of engineering and a craft - following his claim there are no contradictions.
• Glenn Vandenburg explains what is wrong with the way Software Engineering is taught at universities in the presentation called 'Real Software Engineering' (video here).
• Software development is all about passion and fun. An example of passion is the Tenet of Professionalism from Uncle Bob: 'Work 40 hours for your employer and another 20 hours improving yourself'.
• A great example of fun and playfulness in our industry is 'the Globe', a piece of Ruby software which rotates itself.
• Another way to look at your code is with a tag cloud of all words used in a piece of software. This idea was proposed by Phillip Calçado.

The basic premise of the book is that we need to move beyond Continoous Integration and occasional delivery and work towards practices that allow for the creation and deployment of final deliverables on all environments on every check-in. Jez and Dave explain the concepts behind the deployment pipeline and we discuss the practices and policies that come into play from the moment of check-in to updating the live version of software.

We talk about various strategies and patterns for testing, building and releasing software, and how these fit in with agile and lean software development.

We talk about Lean principles in the context of manufacturing and product development, and how these apply to software development. Don explains how variability is important for innovation, and how reduction in batch sizes and queues will improve flow. We discuss the economic model and the focus on quality vs utility. Don also discusses agile software methods like Scrum and Kanban and how they use some of the principles of product development.

Don was in the Netherlands for the Lean & Kanban 2011 Benelux conference. His keynote 'Is It Time to Rethink Deming' can be viewed here courtesy of @agileminds.

• The roots of the 'Londen-style' of Test-Driven Development can be traced back to the eXtreme Tuesday Club (XTC). A weekly London (pub) meeting that started more than 10 years ago.
• On his blog Nat visualizes different kinds of tests that drive the design of a software system.
• In the podcast we discuss the blogpost 'Whose domain is it anyway?' of Dan North.
• Nat completed his PhD thesis in 2000: 'Component Interaction in Distributed Systems'. A lot of his thoughts on object-orientation and messaging between objects and peers that is described in the book, can be traced back to his early research.
• In order to improve the testability of your software, Steve and Nat propose to apply the Ports and adapter architecture from Alistair Cockburn. You can read more on this subject on the wiki of Alistair.
• Use Hamcrest Matchers to improve the readability of your tests: learn more from this tutorial.
• While the use of Dependency Injection is widely spread in the software engineering community, Nat considers applying this style harmful. On his blog you can read more of his thoughts on this subject.
• In 2004 Steven and Nat published the article 'Mock Roles, not Objects' in which they introduces jMock.
• MultithreadedTC: a framework that can be used to test concurrent Java applications.

In this episode an interview with James Coplien, where we cover a range of topics from his book Lean Architecture for Agile Software Development. We talk about the role of design and architecture in agile software development and discuss DCI architecture.

In deze aflevering praten we met Paul over de complexiteit van het onderzoek in het software vakgebied, de twee gezichten van het vak (software engineering en computer science) en de weg naar volwassen wetenschappelijk software engineering onderzoek. We discussiëren met Paul over de overdracht en afstand tussen de wetenschap en de praktijk en stippen een van zijn belangrijkste kennisgebieden aan: geautomatiseerde programmatransformaties. Als laatste geeft Paul zijn visie op certificering in ons vakgebied.

Het interview is deze keer opgenomen door Arne Timmerman met Michel Rijnders als sidekick. Je kunt deze software craftsman en liefhebber van functioneel en dynamisch programmeren volgen op Twitter via @mrijn.

• In 1982 is Paul gepromoveerd op een onderzoek naar zogenaamde stringmanipulatietalen, programmeertalen die kunnen worden gebruikt bij het ontwikkelen van tekstverwerkers: From Spring to Summer.
• Als aanvulling op de voortdurende discussie die gaat over de twee gezichten van het software vakgebied, een bekend artikel van Steve McConnell: Software Engineering, Not Computer Science.
• Informatie over het onderzoek van de onderzoeksgroep van Paul vind je op de website van het Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica.
• Het bekende concurrency framework dat Paul noemt is Hadoop, gebaseerd op het MapReduce programmeermodel van Google.
• De Software Improvement Group is een van de belangrijkste spin-offs uit de onderzoeksgroep van Paul.
• Het belangrijkste project waar de onderzoeksgroep van Paul op dit moment aan werkt is de domein-specifieke taal Rascal.
• In deze presentatie wordt de 'software vulkaan' uitgelegd. Abonnees van de Automatiseringsgids kunnen een artikel van Paul uit 1999 online teruglezen.
• Snowbol, de moedertaal die Paul heeft gevormd.
• Twee boeken waar in de Podcast over wordt gesproken: The Inmates Are Running the Asylum van Alan Cooper en The Design of Everyday Things van Donald Norman.
