This 2-day course covers agile software testing concepts, practices, and implementation. Participants will learn how to strategize, plan, design and execute tests in short iterations with incomplete specifications. They will learn to apply agile development concepts, test effectively in agile environments, describe the agile life cycle and practices, perform exploratory testing, and strategize testing in agile. Topics include understanding the agile mindset, values and principles, roles, techniques, artifacts, testing strategies, agile techniques, testing in the agile software development life cycle, testing within iterations, quadrants, feature development, and exploratory testing.
