Speaker Topics - No Fluff Just Stuff

Agile Testing

How is testing done on agile projects? Do we need testers when programmers can write tests? When do we do test? If the requirements are evolving, should we postpone testing until they stabilize?

This presentation will address how you can approach testing in agile projects. We will discuss the role of programmers and testers in testing, the tools and techniques they can use. We will discuss when testing can start and how it can proceed. This session is intended for both programmers and testers who are actively involved in agile projects.
