Techniques for Testers to Thrive in Agile Contexts

Let’s face it – agile testing is different. First of all, there are challenges integrating successfully within the teams themselves. Scrummer-fall is still running rampant. Then there is the dichotomy of testing vs. quality and balancing your and the teams focus. Finally, delivering value is also an imperative, but a challenge. In this dynamic workshop, join agile coaches Mary Thorn and Bob Galen as they show you the tools, techniques, and mindset you have to bring to the table in order to successfully test in agile contexts. We’ll examine risk-based testing, iterative test planning, exploratory testing, agile automation strategies, test metrics, test artifacts, and effective user stories. Then we’ll wrap by exploring our book The 3-Pillars of Agile Quality & Testing. Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all testing techniques. So, the overall focus will be on adaptive and context-based tools to add to your agile testing toolbox.
