Obstacle Driven Development combines the latest engineering methods and software development. ODD helps identify, correct and prevent errors as early and efficiently as practical.
This presentation is the most comprehensive so far and demonstrates how ODD extends and combines ISO compatible V-models, Test Driven Development, requirements analysis, extended specifications and Agile.
Please see the series for further details.
The document introduces Obstacle Driven Development (ODD), an extension of Test Driven Development (TDD). ODD applies the concept of testing to all stages of development from analysis through production. It uses a cyclic process where tests are created to address obstacles at each stage before moving to the next. This ensures solutions and elements pass verification and validation criteria. ODD models development as a continuous loop with tests linking different stages and elements to drive the creation of specifications, solutions, and products.
Obstacle Driven Development is the latest engineering process and combines Test Driven Development with safety critical V-model development.
This presentation demonstrates how the process extends and combines Test Driven Development throughout the engineering and product development processes.

Testing is necessary for software systems to ensure reliability, manage costs, and reduce risks. It is impossible to exhaustively test a system, so testing aims to detect defects and measure quality. Testing alone cannot improve quality but can identify issues to address. Different testing types exist for various stages, including unit, integration, system, and acceptance testing, and both black-box and white-box techniques are used. Rigorous planning, design, execution and tracking of test cases and results is needed. While testing shows defects, debugging is then needed to identify and address the root causes.

This document discusses performance testing challenges for an agile development team working on a performance critical Java application. It estimates that manually executing performance tests against 9 configurations would take 1+ man-months. To address this, it evaluates options like adding more performance engineers, limiting tests and configurations, or automating performance testing. It recommends automating testing for benefits like running tests continuously and allowing small teams to efficiently test performance. The case study details how the team automated testing using JMeter, built a process integrated with TeamCity, and upgraded infrastructure to support concurrent testing. Automation reduced the testing cycle from over 1 man-month to 4 days, allowing more time for analysis and new testing while finding 17 issues.
DevOps 2017 Conf: evolving from automated to continuousArthur Hicken
Arthur Hicken discusses evolving from automated to continuous testing for agile and DevOps. Continuous testing requires a mature infrastructure and process with highly automated testing. It defines quality gates that produce binary pass/fail results. Automation and static analysis are critical to eliminate defects early and ensure software can pass through quality gates. Continuous testing supports continuous delivery by providing feedback to refine processes and tradeoffs between release scope, timeline, and quality.

Instill a DevOps Testing Culture in Your Team and Organization TechWell
The DevOps movement is here. Companies across many industries are breaking down siloed IT departments and federating them into product development teams. Testing and its practices are at the heart of these changes. Traditionally, IT organizations have been staffed with mostly manual testers and a limited number of automation and performance engineers. To keep pace with development in the new “you build it, you own it” environment, testing teams and individuals must develop new technical skills and even embrace coding to stay relevant and add greater value to the business. DevOps really starts with testing. Join Adam Auerbach as he explains what DevOps is and how it relates to testing. He describes how testing must change from top to bottom and how to access your own environment to identify improvement opportunities. Adam dives into practices like service virtualization, test data management, and continuous testing so you can understand where you are now and identify steps needed to instill a DevOps testing culture in your team and organization.

Behavior Driven Development—A Guide to Agile Practices by Josh EastmanQA or the Highway
The document discusses Behavior Driven Development (BDD) and how it can help increase quality and prepare an organization for increased business demands. It describes BDD as an industry practice where the whole team collaborates on system testing and definition of done. BDD promotes requirements using examples, collaboration between roles, finding defects earlier and more often through automation, and keeping technical debt low.
John Fodeh Adventures in Test Automation - EuroSTAR 2013TEST Huddle
This document discusses test automation and how it can go beyond traditional regression testing. It describes using automated "test monkeys" which randomly exercise an application to help find defects. Advanced techniques are discussed like modeling an application as a state table to guide more intelligent random testing. The document also advocates for behavior-driven testing approaches and emphasizes that successful test automation requires both technical skills and management of people issues.
This document provides an overview of approaches to achieving zero defects in software development. It discusses how adopting a "zero defects" attitude can reduce defects by 50% overnight. It emphasizes defect prevention through proper root cause analysis and design reviews over testing. Iterative design, implementation, and review cycles are recommended to find and address issues early. The goal of quality assurance is to help developers produce fewer defects by focusing on prevention rather than finding defects after the fact. The ultimate goal is to deliver working software to customers with "no questions and no issues."

This document summarizes an Agile Test Automation session which covered:
- The agenda included an introduction to Agile testing process and tools, a demonstration, and Q&A
- Agile values like communication and feedback affect testing by making the whole team responsible for quality using test-driven development and continuous integration
- Test automation tools discussed included test harnesses like JUnit and Selenium, as well as functional testing tools like Cucumber and Concordion
This document provides an overview of agile testing. It discusses what agile testing is, common agile testing strategies and stages, principles of agile testing, advantages such as reduced time and money and regular feedback, challenges like compressed testing cycles and minimal time for planning, and concludes that communication between teams is key to agile testing success. The agile testing life cycle involves four stages: iteration 0 for initial setup, construction iterations for ongoing testing, release for deployment, and production for maintenance. Principles include testing moving the project forward, testing as a continuous activity, everyone on the team participating in testing, and reducing feedback loops.
Shift left as first transformation step into Quality AssuranceZbyszek Mockun
Do you work in a company which has established effective testing process, which ensure high quality and support Agile methodologies? Can your testing process be used as a model for other companies? Fortunately, we were in that place a few years ago and had to ask ourselves a question about the next step. The answer was: Let’s be Quality Assurance Engineers rather than Testers. But what should we do? How can we do this transformation?
At the same time, I got feedback from my colleague – Head of Java practice: “Your testers found defects in areas / scenarios which weren’t included in development scope / my devs didn’t know that should cover those edge cases. What can we do with that?”
I had to agree with him. There is no sense to test scenarios which weren’t implemented. This was the starting point of our transformation. We decided to implement Shift left model as it looks like the most promising one. But when we implemented it not everything worked as smooth as we wished. New challenges appeared, but more in my presentation.

This document discusses project control processes and earned value management. It provides examples of how to build a project baseline, record actual costs and progress, calculate earned value, and use earned value metrics like CPI, SPI, ETC and EAC to estimate project completion costs and schedule. Key aspects of earned value covered include defining the planned value, earned value, actual costs, variances, and using ratios like CPI and SPI to forecast project performance and completion.
This document discusses project monitoring and control tools and techniques. It provides examples of tools like a project charter, work breakdown structure (WBS), milestone charts, and status reports that can help define scope, plan work, track progress, and monitor risks. It emphasizes that properly documenting lessons learned, maintaining a project archives, and protecting knowledge can strengthen an organization's project management skills.
This document discusses monitoring and controlling projects. It outlines three scenarios for projects: when they go as planned, when there are changes from stakeholders, and when risks occur. When projects go as planned, the project manager follows the plan, do, check, act cycle to monitor progress. When changes are requested, an integrated change management process is followed, involving change requests, a change control board, and adjusting baselines. Risks can also lead to change requests if their impacts require action. The overall goal is for the project manager to control changes and maintain the project plan.
This document discusses project monitoring and control using earned value analysis (EVA) and burn graphs. It provides an overview of EVA, including its origins, explanations of key EVA concepts and metrics, examples of how to apply EVA, and potential shortcomings. It also covers burn graphs as a visual project monitoring tool, how they can be used in agile projects, and examples of burn graph types. Tools for implementing EVA and burn graphs are listed. The document concludes with potential discussion points about applying EVA and adopting burn graphs.

Agile principles are investigated, adapted and extended to become ODD principles. Similarities and differences of the methods are investigated.
Burndown charts and Agile organisation is extended to become test first based and help organise an ODD project for software, hardware and embedded.
Obstacle Driven Development (ODD) is a software development process that addresses issues with other methods like Test Driven Development and Waterfall development. ODD adapts stages from the Waterfall model and integrates testing throughout development. It uses models like the ODD Circle, Triangle, and M-models to demonstrate how stages are linked by tests and how verification and validation are performed at each stage from requirements to production. The goal of ODD is to identify and address failures early through implicit testing between stages.
The document introduces Obstacle Driven Development (ODD), a software development process that extends the V-model and incorporates principles from test-driven development. ODD links four stages - analysis, specification, solution, and production - through unit testing between stages. It aims to provide verification and validation at each stage by creating and solving tests for obstacles. The ODD process is presented as integrating and decomposing solutions through V-model and inverted V-model patterns combined with unit testing practices.

The document discusses testing strategies for the ACE open source project. It describes ACE and its testing challenges due to its large codebase and distributed development. It then outlines a 4-step policy developed by ACE to prioritize testing, focusing on core components and called code. This policy reduced untested functions from 275,000 to under 3,000. The document also introduces Coverity Test Advisor and how it was used by ACE to define and enforce this testing policy. Finally, it briefly describes Coverity's development testing solutions and maturity model.
Extreme Programming (XP) is an agile software development framework that focuses on improving software quality and responsiveness through practices like pair programming, frequent testing and integration, small incremental releases, and valuing simplicity, communication, and feedback. The core principles of XP include coding, testing, listening to customers, designing iteratively, gaining frequent feedback, and focusing on immediate needs rather than speculation. XP is well-suited for small projects and those involving new technologies where requirements are evolving rapidly.
Obstacle Driven Development has the most comprehensive testing of any engineering process or method. Tests are created for each element of all stages of development.

It also introduces the software development life cycle (SDLC) and software testing life cycle (STLC), and describes common development models like waterfall and V-model that define when testing occurs. The document is an overview of key concepts in software testing.
This document discusses DevOps, including what it is, its principles, challenges and benefits. DevOps aims to bridge the gap between development and operations through communication, collaboration and automation. It allows for rapid product evolution, improved quality and reduced costs and risks. DevOps principles include developing in similar environments to production and frequent, validated deployments. Challenges include release management and coordination, which DevOps addresses through continuous integration, delivery and automation tools. When to adopt DevOps includes ecommerce and websites, but not critical platforms like banking systems.
Agile Testing – embedding testing into agile software development lifecycle Kari Kakkonen
My presentation on Agile Testing, including a tuning concept and a case study of agile testing choices in a project, held 16 of June, 2014 at a customer internal seminar.
OODA is a business and military strategy method which has been used extensively to create new tactics which can overcome obstacles and opponents. The principles of OODA have been applied to many fields including engineering and psychology.
OODA means Observe, Orient, Decide, Act and each of these combine to create a mental model of how to adapt to changing situations and how your actions affect these.
This presentation demonstrates how the OODA model has been analysed and combined with Obstacle Driven Development to create new models which are both extended and fully testable.
OODA was invented by Col. John Boyd who was the Top Gun of the USAF Top Gun school and is probably the greatest dogfighter of all time.
The document describes a Project Control model based on control theory for solving obstacles through iterative creation of tests and solutions. Boolean logic is used to represent the status of tests and solutions. An error signal drives the creation of additional tests and solutions until all obstacles are resolved when the error equals zero. The process is repeated at each stage and level of a project to systematically solve problems through verification and validation.
Report details the most powerful and only truly scientific development method which was created through a combination of most traditional methods for software, hardware and embedded.
Recent developments have created a new science through combining with control theory to create Project Control. Using Project Control principles we can most quickly create the best and most adaptable solutions.
At odd.enterprises we place tests and facts over opinions and assumptions to identify, correct and prevent errors at the earliest and most efficient time.
Obstacle Driven Development has the most comprehensive testing of any engineering process or method. Tests are created for each element of all stages of development.
This report explains the key concepts of Obstacle Driven Development where we achieve success through identifying, correcting and preventing failure.
Concepts of the stages to O.D.D. are explained with methods to link the stages through creating and solving tests. New concepts include a modified and extended problem domain.
Engineering methods which have been combined to create ODD include V-models, TDD, Agile, SOLID, waterfall and safety critical methods.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
