Description:
This page intentionally left blank AGILE TESTING: HOW TO SUCCEED IN AN EXTREME TESTING ENVIRONMENT In an IT world with differently sized projects, different applications, differently skilled practitioners, and onsite, offsite, and offshore development teams, it is impossible for there to be a one-size-fits-all agile development and testing approach. This book provides practical guidance for professionals, practitioners, and researchers faced with creating and rolling out their own agile testing processes. In addition to descriptions of prominent agile methods, the book provides twenty real-world case studies of practitioners using agile methods and draws upon their experiences to populate your own agile method; whether yours is a small, medium, large, offsite, or even offshore project, this book provides personalized guidance on the agile best practices from which to choose to create your own effective and efficient agile method. John Watkins has more than thirty years of experience in the field of software development, with some twenty-five years in the field of software testing. During his career, John has been involved at all levels and phases of testing and has provided high-level test process consultancy, training, and mentoring to numerous blue chip companies. He is both a Chartered IT Professional and a Fellow of the British Computer Society, where he is an active member of the Specialist Group in Software Testing (SIGiST), previously serving on committees of the Intellect Testing Group (representing the U.K. technology industry) and the SmallTalk User Group. He is author of Testing IT: An Off-the-Shelf Software Testing Process (Cambridge University Press, 2001) and currently works for IBM’s software group.
