Details
In this session, Ralph will
provide an overview of some techniques that bring Agility into the
world of testing. (The world of testing is a strange place: regarded by
most people as a nice place to visit but you wouldn't want to live
there, it is an unmapped wilderness where the waterfall methodology
still roams unfettered.)
The main focus will be on one such technique, Exploratory Testing.
It is defined by many as "simultaneous learning, test design and test
execution", but Ralph will attempt to be more helpful. After the
presentation many of you will claim this is what you have been doing
all along, but now it has a fancy name you can use it without shame and
companies can sell you high-priced consultancy in it.
