Agile Testing – yesterday, today and tomorrow
Leanne Howard
Planit Testing
Looking to accelerate your testing? COVID-19 has made us all look at the world in a different way. For many of us this has been very challenging, and we have been forced to change. In this webinar I would like to reflect on what I observed was happening “yesterday” explore what we can do “today” and speculate on what the new “tomorrow” could look like.
We have all heard about websites crashing; the raise in hacking; app not being accessible to everyone and the strains on IT services. This all points to getting the cost of quality model right and a higher focus on our customers’ needs. This is a positive for testers as organisations see our value for both launching new products quickly and maintaining business operations.
I will share some experiments that you can try to accelerate your testing whilst still maintaining high quality and customer focus. Now is a great time to put into action your continuous learning plans and share your wisdom with our profession.
Key Takeaways:
- Some simple experiments to try
- Accelerating testing whilst maintaining quality
- How to focus on what the customer needs, now and into the future
