ConceptsThe traditional testing process is reactive, struggling uphill after all the possible errors have been made. Agile test-driven development writes tests prior to code, continually reviews code through pair programming, and emphasizes frequent “acceptance” (integration) testing of small code implementations—all of which help produce cleaner program code quicker. As much of an improvement as it is, agile test-driven development could do even better by also applying concepts and techniques of the powerful Proactive Testing™ process that identify numerous test conditions which traditional and test-driven approaches ordinarily overlook, including up to two-thirds of showstoppers and much of the extensive rework which terms like “refactoring” tend to obscure. Following the CAT-Scan Approach™, this interactive workshop describes a Proactive Testing™ model and methods that enable agile (and other) development to deliver far better systems even quicker and cheaper, while also helping overcome traditional user, manager, and developer resistance to testing. Exercises enhance learning.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: This course has been designed for testing professionals and others who manage and perform testing of software products, and also for analysts, designers, developers, involved business people, and system/project managers who need to know how Proactive Testing™ can cut software development time and effort.
