The traditional software quality practices and activities change in many ways but\, looking closely\, the core principles are still there. In fa ct\, Agile development can be an SQE’s dream! Agile naturally combines a ll factors that impact quality from people to transparency all in a cohe sive system. \;\n \;\nJoin Rhea as she details her experience of g oing from a waterfall background and jumping head first into an Agile de velopment environment. She will focus on how she applied quality practic es in this environment\, road bumps along the way that any team adopting Agile might encounter\, and how Agile enabled levels of quality beyond all previous expectations. \;\n \;\nBio: \;\n \;\nRhea Stad ick is a software quality manager for product engineering teams in the B usiness Client group at Intel.
