The Washington Technology Industry Association is committed to helping emerging tech companies get off the ground and this is just one of the many programs we have to support start-up technology companies. Also, you will be able to meet with the experts, Joe Wallin and Stuart Campbell.Join us for an evening designed to stimulate a dialog on how QA testing professionals can best collaborate with agile development to form a quality continuum for enduring sustainable software. You will hear about two example cases from different software products that give a contrasting snapshot of before and after agile pictures. The "before" case used traditional waterfall approach with extended code, test and fix cycles. The "after" agile case used extreme programming practices such as: test first (TDD), acceptance testing (FIT), and pair programming. Bruce Winegarden, Principal Consultant, Eagle Eye View, will cover these examples, outlining the range of QA testing strategies employed and setup discussion around topics such as:
-Why moving testing earlier in the process and making it more integral to guiding the development effort is a good idea.
-What quality strategies we can learn from in other industries such as statistical process control from Lean/SixSigma?
-How can the QA testing role better complement agile development methods such as SCRUM?
-What concepts do agile development and Exploratory Testing have in common and how can we leverage the similarities and uniqueness?
