Managing Software Projects With Agile Methodology

When an organization moves to agile software development methodology it becomes easier to forget about agile performance testing. Many organizations depend on PushToTest to educate their agile teams on agile load and performance tests. Agile got developers and testers talking to one another. Agile performance testing gets business managers and technical team members communicating.

Business managers need inputs to their risk analysis. For example, PepsiCo uses the results of a load and performance test to assess the risks of running national advertising campaigns on IT system operations. The business manager asks "Are we ready?" and test results contain the answer. PushToTest trains business managers how to identify dashboards of results analysis, the operational test data inputs to the test, and how to assess their confidence in the results.

Join me and Todd Bradfute of PushToTest for a discussion on the following topics:

• Using Open Source Testing (OST) as the common language between managers, testers, developers
• If your confidence is low in test results, use TestMaker to run the tests yourself
• Certifying and hiring testers based on their OST certifications
• How to apply test results to business risk analysis
• People fungability - the ability to move from one role to another - using OST methodology and tools
• How OST enables Test Driven Development (TDD)
• Using OST tools and methodology as a natural solution between testing and test management
  

Frank Cohen and Todd Bradfute at PushToTest will lead a Webinar on August 2, 2011 at 9 AM Pacific Time (GMT-8.) The Webinar is free. The Webinar is ideal for senior managers, CIOs, CTOs, development managers, test managers, IT operations managers, architects, developers, and testers.
