Agile Testing in a Waterfall World
Angela Dugan, Polaris Solutions
About the Topic
Everybody seems to be talking about agile these days, but most companies are still using a waterfall based methodology. Often, the team delivering the code uses a different process than the team responsible for software quality. In this presentation, Angela will discuss which agile tenets are worth incorporating into your daily testing activities in this situation and the impacts, both positive and negative, that you should expect. You will learn tips and tricks for introducing agile concepts into a waterfall environment slowly and successfully; methods that incorporate not just application lifecycle management tools, but a look at strategies for process improvement and in some cases good, old-fashioned psychology. Join Angela to find that low hanging fruit you can address quickly to become more agile, understand how to recognize and mitigate common pitfalls, and learn tools and techniques for managing an agile-under-waterfall testing effort.
Key Learning Objectives
How to identify which agile practices to adopt
How to introduce agile thinking to the organization
How to manage testing in an environment that uses different process models
What are the project benefits to be gained
