Open Tech Calendar

It's a ShefTest double-demonstration special! Two speakers with more than just a PowerPoint presentation...

GSDT - Google Sheets Driven Testing - James Almond

Faced with the all too familiar problems of stakeholder investment and maintaining an auto-test pack, James developed a combined solution for both. The stakeholders manage the automated test scenarios collaboratively in Google Sheets which run automatically against the application and the results are pushed back to Google Docs. It sounds so crazy it just might be genius! James is going to explain how it all hangs together and let us see it in action.

First Steps with OWASP ZAP - Achim Brucker

Dr. Achim Brucker is a Senior Lecturer and Security Consultant at the Computer Science Department at The University of Sheffield. He'll be giving us a brief introduction to OWASP ZAP (short for Zed Attack Proxy), which is a powerful and open-source security testing tool for web applications. Focussing on the basics of manual web application security testing, we'll be sniffing user credentials and maybe hijacking a session cookie or two. All in the name of building better software, obviously. ;)


Talks start at 7:30 and of course there'll be a short beer break in the middle.

Hope to see you all there.

Agile Sheffield

Agile Sheffield is back for 2016!

After a really successful end to last year we will start this year with a MeetUp that encourages participation from our group members.

January's MeetUp 'Rapid Talks vs Agile surgery' will give attendees opportunity to give either:

a) a 2 minute rapid talk on any Agile topic of their choice, or

b) an overview of a real problem that they need help with.



Bring a Topic or Problem

• Whether you are a Developer, Tester, Scrum Master, Product Owner or maybe working in a traditional Project role trying to make a change

• Whether your topic or problem is Tech or Non Tech

• Whether you have had little or lots of experience of talking or Agile before

Come and bring a topic or a problem and get involved! Those who want to observe or participate from the audience of course that is fine too!



Venue

We are in the upstairs room of the Rutland Arms pub which is 2 mins walk from the station.



Timings

6.30pm - Arrive, grab a drink.

7-8pm - Rapid Talks vs Agile Surgery

8pm onwards - Networking and follow up chats.



Note - Space is limited at 50 attendees for this MeetUp due to space (taking drop outs into account) but there will be a wait list too.
