Introduction to Agile Testing

As customers and users become more demanding, ensuring projects meet their expectations becomes ever more challenging.  For many, agile has shown itself to be the ideal solution – but managing and working on agile projects introduces new challenges.  Ensuring that testing is integrated into projects effectively and successfully requires us to employ new skills, which are fully described in this workshop.

The workshop is highly-interactive, allowing delegates to learn from the experience of the instructor (and each other), and the flexibility allows the day to be tailored to the audience and address their specific requirements and issues.

By the end of the day delegates will have:

• a better understanding of what is meant by ‘agile’ and the most effective ways of integrating testing into this approach;
• insight into the many options available for agile development and testing, and guidance on selecting the optimal set for your project;
• an awareness of the essential skills required to apply agile successfully and how to manage team-work challenges for agile testing;
• an understanding of the key factors that make agile such an attractive proposition and guidance on its introduction.

Who is it for?

Are you considering moving into agile, or about to start your first agile project?  Or, are you already working on an agile project and feel that the testing could be better managed?  This course is for test analysts, business analysts, developers, customers and managers who need to know the most effective ways of managing and performing testing on agile projects.  It has also been found especially useful to the customers of agile projects (the product owners) as it explains how going agile affects their relationships with the testers and developers.

Workshop Materials

Each delegate will be provided with their own workbook containing copies of all slides and supporting text, and a copy of the TSG Training Agile Quick Reference Guide.
