Agile projects thrive on rapid and frequent feedback. As a result, testing is an essential component of every agile project. Agile testing-related practices include automated regression testing, acceptance test-driven development, test-driven development, continuous integration, and exploratory testing. Just as testing is vital to agile success, test analysts and test automators are integral members of the agile team.
However, traditional test strategies and approaches emphasizing end-stage testing invariably fail when applied in the agile world. Faster release cycles, emerging requirements, continuous change, minimal requirements documentation, and different deliverables require new testing methods, roles, and skills.
This interactive and dynamic two-day Agile Testing Workshop provides in-depth coverage of effective agile testing practices. The workshop is led by a team of experienced agile and testing practitioners and expert consultants with many years of combined agile and testing experience.
In this two-day workshop you will:
• Discover why so many testers love agile development
• Learn how agile testing-related practices reduce uncertainty and mitigate risk
• Explore how fast feedback and increased visibility increase agility
• Discover how testers, business stakeholders, and developers collaborate in an agile project
• Learn about the current generation of agile-friendly test automation tools
• Discover how to make test automation maintainable
• Learn how acceptance test-driven development clarifies requirements and drives out ambiguity earlier
• Discover how exploratory testing fits within an agile context
• Determine how to transition to agile practices with testing providing progressive feedback
• Learn how much test documentation is needed for an agile project
• Explore the future of agile development and testing within agile
The workshop includes concurrent introductory and advanced sessions, providing new ideas and information for those who are new to agile and for experienced agilists.

Successful software projects rely on good business analysis to deliver the right software for the business. Organizations need people who can make that happen by defining clear and unambiguous requirements and helping steer projects to deliver systems that customers need and value.
Business analysis—and the good requirements that result—is increasingly more important for both strategic planning and tactical product delivery. Business analysts require multiple skills: strategic thinking, enterprise analysis, requirements modeling, requirements elicitation and communication, business architecture and user experience, and customer relationship management.
In this two-day workshop you will:
• Understand how to incorporate strategic analysis into your projects and ensure that you are identifying the right solution to the right problem
• Learn essential practices for requirements modeling, specification, and validation
• Discover pragmatic techniques for understanding your users and their needs—from the outside in
• Increase your self-awareness and communication competencies to improve customer collaboration
• Explore ways to adapt traditional business analysis practices in the agile environment
• Find ways to increase business analysis competencies within your organization
