Welcome to agile-quality
Kurt Häusler
this is the first message after setting up this group.
I intend it to be a place to discuss all aspects of software quality,
particularly as relevant to or involving agile principles, values or
practices.
This includes things like:
What is quality?
Quality Control
Quality Assurance
Relevance of quality to project managers/product owners/scrum masters etc
Quality Management
Testing (even though there is already a great agile-testing group)
ISO 9001 Certification
ISO 9126 Software quality model
Other standards and models for software quality
Technical debt and the management thereof
Metrics for software quality
Customer involvement in quality issues
Discussing other "movements" or groups with a focus on software quality
and agile
Craftsmanship as it relates to software quality
Software design; how it relates to software quality
The Law as relevant to software quality.
Discussing books, magazines, websites, blogs, quotes etc about software
quality
Which agile methods and practices specifically address quality and how?
I expect it to cover technical aspects of interest mainly to developers,
such as clean code design, as well as more managery type topics, such as
QA, certification and legal aspects, and everything in between. Ideally
this could be one mailing list where the two groups can mix, and form
consensus etc.
About me: I am just a software developer (and project management
student) interested in software quality and agile. I am not an author or
consultant (yet/at the moment). I don't really have much of an agenda to
push except to discuss and learn more about software quality in agile
environments. I do have opinions and they will pop up in later emails.
Currently the list is unmoderated, and I will only change that if
spammers attack. Personal disagreements, teasing, slightly off topic
messages and banter will probably not be moderated away (at least for
now), I think such things help build community. The moderation policy
will be pretty loose but I reserve the right to make changes if it seems
necessary.
Thanks for checking out the mailing list, and enjoy!
