Test and Defect Management Presentations

• Delivering Flawless Tested Software Every Iteration

  Alex Pukinskis

  By: Alex Pukinskis

  This slide presentation introduces the Agile acceptance testing process. Automating acceptance testing is a big part of the picture, but even more important is agreeing as a team on key attributes of the system being built. This presentation heavily emphasizes building consensus so that by the end of the iteration planning meeting, the whole team agrees on exactly what to build.

• Let's End the Defect Report-Fix-Check-Rework-Cycle

  Richard Leavitt

  By: Richard Leavitt

  This slide presentation provides an overview of how software organizations are revamping their defect tracking work flows and project metrics in response to dramatically shortened development cycles.

• Bringing Test Forward: Applying Use Case Driven Testing in Agile Development

  Dean Leffingwell

  By: Dean Leffingwell

  This webinar discusses the latest processes, automation approaches and Lean principles that drive continuous quality in development teams.

• Test, Validate & Virtualize for Agile SOA

  Zach Nies

  John Michelsen

  By: Zach Nies & John Michelsen

  SOA is a method for aligning technology around the needs of the business that is Agile by nature. However, this decentralized, service-based model will change how we design, develop and deploy enterprise software. What does Agile mean in today’s Service-Oriented world? This webinar is a unique educational session on SOA testing, validation and virtualization for the Agile practitioner.

• A Real World Approach to Building in Continuous Quality

  Zach Nies

  By: Zach Nies

  As development teams shift to Agile practices, a particular emphasis is placed on software quality and pulling testing in at the beginning of the development lifecycle. This on-demand webinar explores "real-world" approaches that a development team can use to drive continuous quality improvement.

• Improved Software Design with Test-Driven Development (TDD)

  If it's difficult to get software developers to write unit tests, imagine how difficult it can be to get them to write the unit test cases before they write a line of code. That's the principle behind test-driven development (TDD), a practice with roots in Extreme Programming (XP).

• Behavior Driven Development: An Evolution in Testing

  Behavior Driven Development (BDD) is not a revolution in testing, but an evolution in how we software engineers think about program design. BDD was born from the observation that most developers were not realizing the full potential of Test Driven Development (TDD).

• Continuous Quality: Shortening the Development and Test Feedback Loop Beyond Continuous Build

  Zach Nies

  By: Zach Nies

  Agile practices emphasize the value of bringing testing forward in the development process, but has anyone ever explained to you how to actually make that happen? Most likely not, at least from Zach's experience. The fact is most teams lack the process and automation needed to get continuous visibility into the ongoing quality of their software releases.
