IN THE BRAIN OF ANTONY MARCANO, UNDERSTANDING QA/TESTING ON AGILE PROJECTS
Testing is an integral and prominent aspect of agile development, however, new teams form and existing teams prevail with uncertainty about how testers fit into the process. Even those projects that don’t have testers dedicated to them can still feel there is a void in how they ensure that they are building the right product and building the product right.

Whether you are a QA/tester, development team-lead, project manager or test-manager; already on an agile project or just about to start one; this session will help you to understand how testers can amplify the value of test-first development. We'll be talking about how to leverage existing skills of your testers; how narrative tests as executable specifications differ dramatically from ‘typical’ automated tests; and the new skills your developers, testers and product owners will need to fully achieve the benefits of Agile QA.
