An organisation's decision to shift towards a more agile and lean software development often leaves testers wondering where they fit, all their typical activities being automated or removed altogether.
In this session you’ll discover tools and practices to help you understand the impact of agile and lean principles on software testing and how you can deliver valuable testing further up the development stream.
Much like a salmon (but without the death).
Duncan Nisbet is a tester who believes development teams and the larger business can be smarter at working together. He coaches testers, programmers and business folk on how they can help each other communicate and collaborate in order to deliver software that will actually help to solve the problem.
His efforts are focused both during the everyday development or in team workshops, which he facilitates. Duncan also blogs at duncannisbet.co.uk.
