ABOUT THE SPEAKER AND PRESENTATION:

Abstract:

Developers are becoming more agile. They are developing software incrementally and in shorter iterations. And they'd like testers to be testing incrementally as well -- instead of waiting until the software is nearly complete. How can testers do this? This talk will review agile development methods and provide several practices that agile testers have effectively used to keep pace with agile teams.
