Agile Testing
How testing is both different and the same in an Agile project environment
Testing is a fundamental part of any successful project - Agile projects included. All of the fundamental concepts and challenges of testing still exist. Learn how to adapt your existing skill set to maximise your contribution in an Agile project environment where you will work on all test levels, change is the norm and short iterations of work continuously deliver working software.
This course is part of the Agile Academy curriculum. Software Education is proud to be a founding partner of the Agile Academy.
Intended For
- Experienced testers who are involved (or will be involved) in testing on Agile projects
- Those responsible for testing and quality assurance on Agile projects
Prerequisites
This is not an introductory testing course. Participants are expected to be familiar with the fundamentals of testing.
Some understanding of Agile practices would be beneficial. For an introduction to Agile practices see our Agile Fundamentals course.
