Abstract: Many teams transitioning to agile struggle with testing activities, and deliver products that fail to delight their customers. Testers are often lost in agile transitions, left to fend for themselves on new cross-functional teams without training or support. Programmers may get training in development practices such as TDD, but not in the many types of testing for which the whole team should be responsible.
Please join Lisa to explore the whole-team approach to building in quality, and how testers and teams can build quality into their product and deliver the features and quality attributes valued by customers and stakeholders. Be ready to share your stories of how you and your teams learned ways to improve testing and quality.
