Description

As Agile becomes more and more mainstream, many teams have gained traction on agile testing principles and practices such as Specification by Example/ ATDD, the Whole-Team approach to testing, and continuous integration. Unfortunately, there are always new problems to solve!

This full day workshop will address common testing-related problems experienced by more experienced agile testing practitioners, such as managing technical debt, feature acceptance, exploratory testing, working with distributed teams and large systems, continual learning, and improving ROI of automated tests.

Participants will begin with an exercise to identify and prioritise topics or problems related to agile testing that they'd like to address throughout the day. As many as possible will be tackled using hands-on exercises, simulations and group discussions.

By the end of the day, each participant will have at least one experiment for their own team to try in order to mitigate their worst problem or obstacle. They'll also be able to connect with others who have experience with similar issues to their own.

Participants should have experience applying agile values and principles in their work, and have a basic understanding of commonly-used agile practices such as continuous integration, test-driven development, and acceptance test-driven-develompent/Specification by Example. They should know agile terminology such as "technical debt" and "refactoring".

Laptops are not needed, as simulations, rather than working with actual software, will be used.

Come with your list of burning issues, and be prepared for fun, interactive learning.

She enjoys sharing her experiences via writing, presenting, teaching and participating in agile testing communities around the world. She also enjoys learning better ways to deliver quality software working as a tester on the Pivotal Tracker team.
