ConTEST NYC 2017

With many people talking about Testing practices and Test solutions in conferences i take the opportunity to talk about Automotive Testing in ConTEST NYC 2017

ConTEST NYC is the conference that explores the role of software quality and testing in the context of the modern world.

You will learn how automotive software is being tested and the phases involved in it. I will share stories of some of the hacks in automotive industry and leaping changes. The worldwide testing community has to take on more influential role in designing the test strategies for technologies of tomorrow. I will reveal what I learned from testing automotive software, how I contributed to it, where to find the opportunities and how you can benefit from it too.

Also we will take a sneak peak at self driving car project along with this talk.
Program chair make the conference interesting through

2 inspirational keynotes
3 full day masterclasses
Over 30 breakout sessions with immersed participation

This will be my first travel to the Unites states. I am excited already!

A Big Thanks to Anna Royzman (President of Global Quality Leadership institute) for this opportunity and inspiration.

I look forward to meet more testers at the conference and more networking.

Restructuring the Testing blog

Hi guys,

I have added added two sections in my blog. Please have a look.

• About me
• My Achievements

Suggestions welcome for better improvement.

 

Thanks in Advance!

Moving forward- Testing Self Driving cars

Moving forward i focus on Automotive testing which includes Infotainment, ADAS, Self driving or Autonomous cars.
I will try to describe the various test technologies involved in Automotive.

Sneak Peak -Self Driving cars:

A Self driving car also called as Autonomous or Connected cars is an automobile that is designed to travel between places without
any human interventions. It is an advancement is Telematics technology that it is self governed.
We have many top companies working on it as of now, but the race is who reaches first to implement it fully on road.
It uses a variety of technologies to get it working. Some of the technologies include:

RADAR
LIDAR
Sensors
GPS
Computer vision
Odometry
Artificial Intelligence

In most of the roads it is not legal to test the self driving cars.The Deparment of Motor vehicles has designed a set of regulation to test the self driving car.

Here are the list of entities work on testing a Self driving car.

• Conduct an Testing event with peer testers
• Continue blogging
• Read a testing book, of course
• Fly High

VodQA- Thoughts into speech

There is a  way to convert Thoughts into Speech.

It is called VODQA (Value oriented Discussions)

Thoughtworks is always awesome from the day I heard about it. It’s not only because of the work and technology but also because of their Title and Theme for their meetup.

• “VODQA”
• “Get high on Testing”
• “Cocktail mix”

I had attended VODQA a Testers’s meetup in Bangalore last year 2015. We had lots of good people talking about automation and other stuffs. I kept my eye on it to speak at VodQA for the next time in Bangalore.But I was then transferred to my hometown in the mid of 2016.

Linux chats while your are geeky enough

I have been working on Linux for the past 2 years… It so happened today started reacting awesome in our college WhatsApp group.

It started with a forward message

After a while we started reacting.
This is what we came up with

Happy night chats.

Happy testing! cheers

Agile Views

1.My definition about Agile.

Agile is an unconventional mode of transport to Quality

2. My interpretation about the image.

The Logo represents Agile needs to be done in an open ended way to connect many aspects related to development or Testing. Refactor the frequent changes in agile software development and consider best suited when comparing test approaches.
