Track: Agile Testing
One of the challenges many organizations face when adopting Agile processes is having enough time in each iteration to test what was developed in that iteration. Developers want to work up to the last minute in the iteration to finish stories and maximize business value. Further, as the project grows over time, the scope of the testing effort grows with it. How can an organization ensure it remains true to Agile without sacrificing quality?
This session will provide some helpful tips to give testers the best chance of keeping pace with development. Additionally, the presenter will discuss several strategies that may be employed if, despite valiant efforts, testing falls behind. While no single approach may provide the silver bullet solution, attendees will leave the session armed with ideas and concepts for dealing with the problem both proactively and reactively.
