Better Software Conference 2008: Agile Software Testing Strategies

Test automation is like exercise. We know both are great ideas, but most of us don’t do enough of either. Although we know that creating a solid automated test suite is critical to any agile testing strategy, we are often just told to "Do it" without much support-money or people. Jared Richardson examines the infrastructure and tools needed for your automated testing to succeed and prosper. Jared examines three strategies-test-driven development, defect-driven testing, and blitzkrieg testing-you can use to ensure great test coverage on your projects. You'll gain an understanding of how to leverage your testing investments by employing continuous integration practices in your development projects. With real-life scenarios as a backdrop, Jared discusses appropriate testing strategies for your current project or the next one down the road. Jared will get you moving toward automated testing, whether you're starting fresh or trying to clean up an existing project.
