The material in this tutorial is taken from the book Software Testing Fundamentals, authored by the presenter (Published by Wiley, May 2003) and from a new work in progress, "Agile Testing."Market pressures drive us to produce products faster and faster. The latest programming APIs make it easier than ever for programmers to crank out tons of code. The makers claim that these APIs also solve all kinds of problems that used to create bugs; so now there will be no more bugs in the code. The programming communities, latest programming models, Agile and eXtreme purport to be fully self sufficient; no testers required. At least that is the story that is going around. Some of these things are true some of the time, but there is still a need for testing in Agile and eXtreme projects. This tutorial shows you how Agile development is supposed to work, why there is still a job for testers, and how test efforts can be Agile too. Three Agile / eXtreme case studies are presented to show how various tools and test strategies worked in real projects, and to illustrate pitfalls that can be avoided.
