Waterfront Centre Meeting Room

2nd floor of 200 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC (map)





Over the last several years, Agile development has hit mainstream recognition, even though there is often uncertainty and turmoil around what “Agile development” means in theory and in practice, and that uncertainty and turmoil affects Agile projects and the people in them. James Bach and Michael Bolton, authors of Rapid Software Testing, hear testers expressing a good deal of pain over the role of the tester and the structure of testing activity in Agile projects. There are some models, such as Marick, Crisipin and Gregory's Agile Testing Quadrants, and many people have found them helpful. However, it's time to build on what has gone before.





In this presentation, Michael Bolton will offer a review and an update of the Agile Testing Quadrants as seen through the lens of Rapid Software Testing—an agile (but not necessarily Agile) approach. Michael will show how Agile development can—and should—be infused with testing that helps to identify and defend the value of the product while reducing the costs of development.





This month's event will be held at Waterfront Centre at our regular time. Here are some details regarding parking and transit:
