Agile Test Automation Patterns: From the Inside Out

Add to calendar

Does your team struggle to test new functionality during your iterations? Do you end up testing code in added-on “test-only” hardening iterations? Are bugs still found in your product weeks or months after they were delivered? If so, you are missing out on a major process improvement that will save money, shorten delivery times, and reduce overall risk to the product and your brand. Paul Merrill empowers you to test quicker and earlier in your agile process with proven techniques and patterns like “use test driver,” “define interface,” “simulate functionality,” and “setup vertical tasks.” Take back the ability to test code when it’s written. Learn how to persist quality and quality indicators for the life of the product. Discover how to empower manual testers with automation for today’s complex architectures. Gain the ability to fortify your application against defects from the beginning. In short—automate from the inside out.
