Traditional test processes and test automation are not effective for an agile environment where requirements are evolving and iterations are short. Participants in this workshop learn how to transform testing best practices to agile projects and transform to team-wide accountability for quality. Effective iteration test planning, unit and exploratory testing, regression testing and agile-friendly test automation play a central role in this context.
