How do we ensure the continued value of testing?</p> <p>Join us in Open Space to share your questions, challenges, strategies, success stories, and how you've overcome stumbling blocks.</p> <p>In small groups, we’ll discuss topics such as:</p> <p>· How is Agile testing different from how we’ve always done it? · How do we know what to test? · How do we know what not to test? · On Agile teams, when does testing happen and whose job is it? · What is Exploratory Testing and why should we care? · How do regression tests work? · How does testing improve my design? Should it? · How do we ensure it is cost effective? · What do people mean when they say, "no defects”? · Does Agile change how we test or does it just raise the existing issues?</p> <p>Bring the topics you feel passion for and add them to the list!</p> <p>Each self-organizing discussion group will create a document or other record of their discussion, ideas, questions, and insights. We’ll share everyone’s experiences at the end of the day.</p> <p>Who should attend?</p> <p>· Testers facing an Agile adoption/People new to the testing role/Testers eager to jump in · Devs who want to get serious about defect-free code · CTOs and Managers of Test/Validation, Dev, Application Delivery · Academics preparing new software/IT professionals for the real world</p> <p> Cost to attend: $75 per person (Register early. We expect to sell out.)</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://www.techoregon.org/events/event_details.asp?id=251109">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
