Description
This unique and practical course was developed by Lisa Crispin and Janet Gregory based on their popular books, Agile Testing: A Practical Guide for Testers and Agile Teams and More Agile Testing: Learning Journeys for the Whole team. Participants learn ways the whole delivery team can collaborate to plan and execute the many different testing activities needed to build quality into their product. Through lecture, discussion and hands-on exercises, the course explains essential principles and practices, including:
• How testing fits into the short iterations and frequent deliveries in an agilemanner, including adoption of continuous delivery
• Contributions testers can make to become valued agile team members, and help with adopting approaches such as DevOps
• Common cultural and logistical obstacles in transitioning to an agile development process • Values and principles that help team members adopt an agile testing mindset
• How the whole team contributes to the success of testing practices, such as acceptance-test driven development (ATDD), test automation, and exploratory testing
The course is filled with real-life examples of how teams collaborate to deliver highvalue, high-quality software. A simulation wraps up the whole course giving participants an opportunity to put all the puzzle pieces together, and practice what they have learned. Participants leave with practical skills and techniques that they can start using right away.
The course is ideal for testers, developers, iteration facilitators, team leads, managers, anyone on who wants to learn what testing means on an agile team. Everyone will benefit from understanding their contribution and the interaction with testers on the team. Basic agile knowledge is recommended so the participants can actively contribute with questions and shared experiences.
