Software Testing: Agile Testing Opportunities 3/21/12




RBCS Podcast show

Summary: Every lifecycle affects testing, and Agile is no exception.  A number of elements of the Agile methodologies can create opportunities for testing, when properly implemented.  In this webinar, we'll discuss how nine characteristics of Agile methodologies can turbo-charge your testing, specifically examining: the obvious and not-so-obvious benefits of automated unit testing; how the re-birth of static code analysis makes removing bugs cheap and easy; the use of code coverage metrics to help quantify confidence; the testing benefits of continuous integration; Agile contributions for automated functional testing; how Agile supports high-quality, lightweight requirements; the benefits of stakeholder review of test conditions; reducing the dreaded test crunch with a sustainable workload; and, how Agile methodologies control technical debt and why that matters for testing. In this free webinar, Rex Black discusses the key testing opportunities created by the Agile approach, so that you can recognize and take advantage of them.
