About us

🚨 IMPORTANT INFORMATION 🚨

We have some exciting news! As part of our move into the MoTaverse, the Ministry of Testing Munich group is officially migrating away from Meetup.

Going forward, we are now known as a Chapter, and we have a brand-new home where all our future events, photos, and talks will live.

### Why the move?
By joining us on the new Chapter page, your participation now counts toward your professional growth. In the MoTaverse, you’ll earn stars and badges for attending events, which display directly on your MoT profile to showcase your contributions to the community.
It’s all part of our goal to provide "Community-as-a-Service"—bringing learning, events, and networking into one seamless experience.

### What you need to do:
To stay in the loop for our upcoming London events, please head over to our new page and join the Chapter:
👉 Join the MoT Munich Chapter Here

We’ll be phasing out this Meetup group shortly, so make sure you make the jump today so you don't miss our next gathering!

For a deeper look at why we’re making these changes, you can check out Rosie Sherry's post: Meetups are now Chapters.

See you in the MoTaverse!

How do you test something that never stops changing?
That's the challenge James Thomas brings to Munich this month. When your product is in constant flux and the state space is effectively infinite, traditional testing approaches start showing their limits fast. James has been thinking hard about this problem, and he's built something to help tackle it: a tool that blends model-based testing, property-based testing, and observability to roam through an application autonomously, making assertions and generating data while he gets on with exploring it himself.
It's a concrete answer to a question every tester knows but rarely gets to dig into properly. Come ready to think.

Followed by an Open Space — bring the questions this talk sparks, or whatever else is on your mind.

Full abstract: Infinite Loop * Infinite Space
How can we test software effectively when everything is subject to change, all the time?
Even if we assume stability for a moment, how can we cover the vast range of inputs, outputs, and product behaviours that any non-trivial application supports in a context where anything might have just changed?
In this talk I'll expand on that challenge and describe a tool I've built to help me address it for the product I'm working on at the moment. It combines aspects of model-based testing, property-based testing, and observability to take random paths through the application making assertions about its behaviour and generating rich data sets for post-hoc analysis.
The tool extends my exploratory testing capabilities by letting me ask all kinds of questions, in particular about things that it would be impractical to try investigate by hand because of the size of the state space of the system under test. It's not a substitute for standard regression testing but it is a powerful complement to it, and I often explore the product myself while it is running, unnattended, in the background on my behalf.

James is a software tester based in Cambridge but currently working for a German company, Ada Health, on a medical symptom checking application. He has been blogging about testing and software development at Hiccupps since 2011.
