Tips and Tricks for Effective Agile Testing

Agile testing means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Some believe it’s about getting software developers to do all the testing during iterations. Others think it’s the same testing process as in Waterfall, just done a lot quicker. Still others believe testing can only be done effectively AFTER an iteration is completed. While all of these are interesting approaches, none of them are both effective and meet the spirit of agile. This talk discusses what agile testing is really all about and provides tips and tricks for how to effectively integrate software testing (and testers!) into short iterations. Join Jeffery Payne as he discusses how testing fits into and leverages such things as: behavior-driven development (BDD), test-driven development (TDD), test automation, and a continuous integration/delivery process. Learn how to ‘shift left’ your testing and get more of it done in iterations. Understand why it is important to complete your testing during sprints instead of allowing it to be done later. Take home tips and tricks for improving your agile testing approach.
