Agile Development: Are You Sure
You're Building the Right Thing?
Live Event • Wednesday, December 16 • 2:30 p.m. EST / 11:30 a.m. PST
Presented by Janet Gregory and Lisa Crispin
You’re using agile development to build in quality and prevent defects, but are you building what your customers really want? In agile development, we focus on building quality in and preventing defects, rather than finding defects at the tail end of a development cycle. Focusing our testing efforts on the things customers care about most is key. In this webcast, Janet and Lisa will explain how testers and agile teams can ensure they are building the right thing. They’ll give an overview of some frameworks that help elicit examples from stakeholders that will help you explore various dimensions of quality while gathering specifications. This includes using examples to create tests that help developers know they’re delivering the right feature behavior. Janet and Lisa will also share tips of potential pitfalls to avoid during this process.
What you will learn:
- Techniques to guide conversations about stories, such as example mapping and guiding development with examples and tests
- Ways to change the testing mindset from finding bugs to preventing them
- Ways to focus testing efforts on the areas of most value to customers
- How to avoid time-wasting pitfalls of using examples to guide coding
