Agile development approaches have fundamentally changed how we go about developing software products. But it isn’t always clear how that affects how testing is done. “Is manual testing obsolete?“, “What should be automated and how?“, “Who is responsible for Quality?“, “When should testing happen?“, are some of the difficult questions we address in this two-day class. Participants will better understand what agile testing is, and learn, through practice, techniques they can implement with their teams right the next day.
