Welcome back to the TestGuild Automation Podcast! In today's episode, we have a fascinating conversation with our special guest, Jonathon Wright. Jonathon is a renowned test automation expert and the Chief Technology Evangelist at Keysight Technologies. In this episode, Jonathon dives deep into the world of test automation, tackling the challenges of getting started with test automation and scaling. Jonathan emphasizes the importance of moving beyond just having test scripts and instead focusing on business-oriented metrics and software quality assurance. He discusses the shift towards a build-versus-buy approach and the need for software vendors to demonstrate maturity and quality engineering. Jonathon also introduces the concept of "Assurity" as a model for software assurance, with quality being the top priority. Throughout the episode, Jonathon touches on various topics, such as leveraging automation to overcome manual testing challenges, the advancements in tools and their impact on the testing industry, the role of large language models in automation testing, and the future of automation and testing.

Lean Coffee recorded in Seattle, June 24, 2015 Vic (@AgileCoffee) attended the Scrum Alliance's fourth Scrum Coaching Retreat in the USA. It was three days of examination of what it means to be a coach in a scrum environment and how we can improve our coaching methods worldwide. In the first two days, participants had the opportunity to pitch a project they wished to focus on. Everyone then joined a project team and organized using scrum processes and roles. We had three sprints (spanning the two days) in which to iterate and increment on a delivery of our final products. The final day was devoted to an Open Space event and a closing retrospective. One of the projects created can be found at AgileLeadershipToolkit.com. I'll make others available once I receive explicit permission and links from their creators. Special kudos go out to Stewart Young (@Stuartliveart) of illustrationstation.co.uk for completing some amazing artwork throughout the three days. Vic hosted a lean coffee during Open space on the third day, and he was joined by: Dan Fuller of SolutionsIQ CeeDee Doyle of Assurity in New Zealand Kelley Harris(@mkelleyharris) of SourceCell Max Lamers (@maxlamers) Jeff Nielsen of RMC Learning Solutions Dave Cornelius (@DrCorneliusInfo) of 5saturdays Topics included: Overcoming team dysfunctions at the Scrum Coaching Retreat Alternative formats for a three-day retreat How to do podcasts (see below) PO coaching beyond the basics Impact Mapping Value proposition for coaching vs just training For more information on retreats Links to previous (and upcoming) Coaching Retreats in the USA: Boulder, CO - Dec 7-9, 2011 Chandler, AZ - Dec 4-6, 2013 - archive of projects Raleigh (Chapel Hill), NC - Oct 28-30, 2014 Seattle, WA - June 22-24, 2015 Irvine, CA - Spring 2016 Podcasting Tools and Techniques I produce my shows old school - by gathering participants in a room and recording with a bunch of mics. (I have a degree in audio engineering, so I'm a bit of an audiophile.) It's fun, and nothing beats the face-to-face communication with all its nuances and clarity. We meet about twice a month in a mostly quiet space, and it takes my about 10-15 minutes to set up the equipment and do a quick check of levels. For these bigger on location recording (from 4 to 6 attendees), I use a Behringer X1222 mixing board and Audio Technica ATR2100 or similar mics, plug it into my laptop and be good. [None of these links are affiliate links - just plain links to Amazon.] When it's only a few of us, I'll just bring my Zoom H5 handy recorder to blug mics in to - no need to lug my laptop around. In my home studio where it's only me, I either plug my mic into the laptop or go through a smaller Behringer Xenyx mixer. For post-production I use the free software Audacity (for PC). It does everything I need; I only do a minor amount of editing, and I like to tweak the levels somewhat. I export the file as MPEG Layer 3 (.mp3) format and load it into my local iTunes to enter the metadata (pretty much just cut-and-paste from a template). Then it's time to upload to my audio host. Libsyn costs about $12 / month, but you can get a cheaper plan with them (or free elsewhere) if you podcast less frequently (I post at least two Agile Coffee podcasts a month and sometimes other projects as well). Libsyn also provides download stats. When it's time to announce the new episode, the
