Agile QA & TDD Workshop: 3 days Hands-on Training

Agile Test Driven Development

Inevitably your agile teams will roadblock at QA.  Often this is not due to the QA personnel, but rather the approach and choreography between Development and QA.

In this hands-on three-day workshop we will explore an agile-friendly approach to streamlining this most fundamental of software development processes, with the goal of removing that bottleneck and increasing the quality and outcomes of your teams. Topics will include agile requirements and testing theory, implementable practices, tooling examples, environment setup, and advice to make a system more testable.

The workshop simulates reality by dividing participants in to QA and Programmers and providing them with a problem to solve. Topics are then iteratively introduced as the teams work through the product backlog together.
