Quickly Deliver the Highest Value Features to the Customer
Lean-agile methods promote the rapid delivery of value to customers by deferring detailed definition and design of system features until the “last responsible moment.” This practice challenges the whole team, including testing, to stay continuously synchronized within very short release iteration cycles. To keep up with the fast pace, the team must be creative, smart, and efficient with their verification and validation testing activities.

Lean Principles Add Value to Your Organization
In this interactive workshop, you will examine agile testing practices including exploratory testing and automated acceptance testing approaches. Experience the “four-hour release” cycle and practice the activities important to testers in a lean-agile development environment.

Adapt to Agile Development Practices that Affect Your Team
Teams new to agile practices have discovered that moving from traditional “test last” to the lean-agile “test first” is a big challenge to the entire development organization—and especially to testers and the test group. Discuss the common obstacles facing teams and explore solutions that could work for your test team. Develop an action plan to become valued members of a lean-agile development team.

Who Should Attend
The audience includes test professionals, test managers, project leaders, quality analysts, and developers. No specific prerequisites are assumed. Experience in any form of software development (testing, programming, and managing) and some familiarity with agile practices are recommended.
