Introduction:
In traditional ‘waterfall’ style software development projects, the activities that fall under the banner of ‘testing’ are well defined and understood.
However, on an Agile project, the testing process can be less certain and the challenges include:
Testing is a critical part of how Agile succeeds and without a clear understand of how successful testing should be applied on an Agile project there is a substantial risk that the benefits of going Agile will not be realised.
Why attend:
In this practical, one-day workshop we look at all aspects of testing on an Agile project, to help you decide what changes are needed to your testing process to enable Agile Testing to be successful. The workshop looks at testing throughout the entire life-cycle of an Agile project from ‘developer testing’ right through to ‘end-user testing’ with all the intermediate steps that fall under the heading of ‘IT’ or ‘independent’ testing.
The workshop leader will draw on real-life, practical and pragmatic experience to go beyond the theory of Agile and explore what actually can happen during testing on an Agile project and what works and what doesn’t!
At the end of the day delegates will be able to answer the following questions:
- What are the main Agile methodologies and how are they implemented in practice
- How will Agile impact on my current testing process and team structure
- What is the role of an independent tester on an Agile project
- How do I ensure quality on an Agile project
- Where do I add value as a tester
- What are the common mistakes made when testing on an Agile project and how should I avoid them
- How do I measure quality

Delivered in a highly interactive style with a pragmatic focus on the reality of Agile projects, this workshop is aimed at anyone who needs to understand or play a testing role on an Agile project, and will be especially valuable to experienced testers who have experience and understanding of ‘traditional’ testing processes.
