Hi,
this is the final call for our next agile testing event in london
HEMAL KUNTAWALA & MICHAEL WAGG:
HOW WE BUILD QUALITY SOFTWARE AT USWITCH.COM
Hemal and Mike will provide an experience report on how we build quality
software at uSwitch.com. Around 9 months ago the development team
shifted from having a separate QA team to adopting a whole-team approach
for building and delivering software with quality baked in. This talk
will explain why we made this shift, provide an insight into how we
achieved it from a people and process point of view and delve into
tooling. This will include: - Why testing along the production line is
better than testing end-of-cycle.
- How we make sure we get thorough acceptance criteria up front, before
we start development.
- How we automate execution of acceptance criteria with cucumber and watir.
- How we run these continuously in TeamCity.
- Why we stopped using QTP and Selenium.
- How our developers learnt to think like testers.
- Why we stopped using the words 'tester' and 'testing'.
- The importance of BDD for writing testable code.
- How kanban principles help radiate information on development and
provide tracking and reporting on quality.
- Peripheral activities that help us continuously release quickly and
confidently.
The event is free but up-front registration is required. See
