Leading the Transition to Effective Testing in Your Agile Team
W11 Start Time : 12:00 End Time : 12:45
WATCH: An introduction from Fran
Many agile teams still struggle to deliver quality software. Although Scrum is the pervasive agile framework it leaves it up to teams to define their own agile development/test practices – with a resulting variety of outcomes. With the diversity of practices and contexts it is difficult for the tester to know how to show leadership to help improve their team’s situation.
This presentation will provide you with some insights, derived from practical experiences, to help transition to a more effective way of testing in your agile team – a way that has collaboration and innovation at its heart. We will cover…
- Testing in the agile lifecycle and ensuring an effective approach to agile testing
- Quality and Agile – typical pitfalls and how to prevent them
- User Story Collaborations including preventing defects in User Stories
- Showing leadership with the testing mindset in agile
