Course Overview
More and more companies are implementing an Agile approach to their projects. While the development and project management processes get a lot of attention in these efforts, testing is often an afterthought. There may not even be a testing role included in the team.

This course draws upon the instructor’s deep and varied experience to provide a framework approach to integrating effective testing and quality practices into the Agile project without sacrificing overall development speed. With a balanced mix of automated and manual, scripted and unscripted test activities, this approach addresses the testing needs of the new development while not leaving behind the need for regression testing of functionality from previous versions.
