Course Overview

The Agile Testing workshop shows how Agile affects testing and the test process and how Agile methodologies differ from traditional methodologies. It gives an understanding of the issues to overcome in order to ensure effective testing on Agile projects - test strategy, design, execution and monitoring/reporting.

• Are you moving to a more agile methodology? If so how do you keep control of testing?
• Do you feel the Agile is the way forward but are unsure on how testing will be affected?
• Would you like to pick up some techniques from Agile that can be used with any methodology but will help in flexibility?

While agile has provided the solutions for many software development problems, it is not a silver bullet and has still to overcome issues that more traditional project development lifecycles handle. Testing is an important part of how agile succeeds, but as agile is a big departure from normal development, how does it affect testing and the test process?
