Free talk with author and agile expert Janet Gregory - Testing Traps to Avoid in Agile Teams

[Maria_skillsmatter]

In this talk, Janet Gregory shares some of the lessons she has learned
that help agile teams be successful. She talks about what to avoid,
what practices are critical, and gives some basic steps that can make
the difference between success and failure.

Many teams have tried to implement agile software development
practices and failed. When you read about transitioning to agile
development, it sounds so easy. Why don’t all of them succeed?
Iterations turn into mini-waterfalls, stories are never quite “done”,
and testers worry that they’re losing control or being set up to fail.
Customers keep changing their minds and complaining that their
requirements weren’t met. Obviously, some teams succeed with testing
on agile projects, and others don’t. What do they do differently?

Janet Gregory shares some of the lessons she has learned that help
agile teams be successful. She talks about what to avoid, what
practices are critical, and gives some basic steps that can make the
difference between success and failure. One example of a critical
practice is the idea of using feature acceptance tests in addition to
story acceptance tests to keep the big picture in mind.

The talk is free and is being held at the Skills Matter eXchange in
London on March 27th.
