"Introducing Calabash" by Karl Krukow
Abstract
Calabash is a new open-source technology for automated functional testing of Android and iOS apps. Calabash combines advanced automation technology with the Cucumber tool. Developers or QA staff can write executable tests that closely match the use cases for the app. Tests are written in a natural language close to the application business domain, and the cucumber tool can execute those tests on Android or iOS devices or simulators.
This talk will introduce Calabash and LessPainful, which provides test execution as a service. The LessPainful test service runs Calabash tests concurrently on many physical, non-jailbroken devices running various languages and operating system versions.

"You Are Doing It Wrong" by Michael Franken
Abstract
We're seeing too many pitiful implementations of Scrum. Cases where Scrum is viewed as a set of simple practices, which are imposed on the development team. Without any connection to the business and no urge to serve customers early and continuously through valuable software. By playing a game 'live on stage' and explaining how to use Lean's pull system, we're making a point to use Scrum with more guts, more fun, more impact and more results! When time allows we'll show a very successful large scale Scrum implementation in the Netherlands.
