Development and testing in Agile and Scrum Team

Learning Objectives

Do you want to learn more about Agile methods and Scrum process, XP and engineering practices from the perspective of a member of the team? The course is focused on the practices implemented in Agile and Scrum teams in terms of development and testing.

We will discuss, code & learn together specific methods of Extreme Programming, Refactoring, Unit testing, TDD, BDD and other quality-related practices.

Agile Testing session is an immersion into the guiding principles and enabling practices of testing in an agile environment, and to reinforce the idea that Agile testing encompasses a shift in mindset and culture.

It is not important what software you are developing, or what technology you use, but your readiness to perceive new ideas, suggestions, and procedures.

Bring your laptop and favorite editor or IDE with you.

The workshop is for:

• Developers
• Programmers
• Analysts
• Testers
• IT architects
• IT managers
• SW development directors

Teaching methods:

Professional explanation with practical samples, examples and practical coding katas and exercises.

Learning Objectives

• You will learn that today's software development is not just about programming or testing itself, but about the effectiveness of the use of concepts and tools of modern agile development. Master the different techniques of product design, development, and testing. We will discuss for example system architecture design, when and how to automate testing, how long to maintain and refactor applications.
• You will practically lean techniques on various code katas on your own machines in your favorite. You will get deeper understanding of practices and why use those in real situations in your job and you will gain tools to produce reliable, robust and verifiable software.
