Agenda
•What do you mean by small?
•Small Projects as Change
•3-9 Month Projects
•9-12 Week Projects
•5-8 Week Projects
•2-4 Week Projects
•<2 Weeks
•Conclusion, Q&A!
What do you mean by small?*
*Largest & Smallest Horse Variation Currently Available on Earth
Change
A slightly smaller project can be
more difficult than a project that is
severely smaller.
Change
What’s changed?
When did it change?
Who’s responsible for the change?
Change is expected.
Faster (than what?)
Faster than EVER before!
Not for Me! This Sucks.
How do we go faster?
How Sane is Sane Enough?
Tool: Jenkins* (or other CI)
Why: You alone can not be the
single point of testing. Single point
of fixes is also a big issue.
*This is not just a testing tool
To go faster, remember to KISS
9-12 weeks
5-8 weeks
5-8 weeks OMG you’ve grown!
2-4 weeks
Under 2 weeks
Smaller than Weeks?
Small Project Mantra
We must, we must, we must
increase our trust!
But what if you have LOTS of small projects?
Feeling a little overwhelmed?
The Gift of Time
“All we have to decide is what to
do with the time that is given to
us.”
J.R.R. Tolkien
The Fellowship of the Ring 1954
Testing is fun! Even in small bites.
Obstacles to Small Projects
Politics (Precedence, Posturing)
Micromanaging (Meetings, Metrics)
Status (Structure, Silence)
“Avoid painful PMS.”-Lanette Creamer
When it must be small
Creamer’s Agile Thought
Ask “What can I test today to make
tomorrow better.”
Lanette’s Testing Mantra
Learned from Small Projects 2011-2014
