View webinar: http://www.eurostarconferences.com/community/member/webinar-archive/webinar-73-test-improvement-for-agile When we want to improve our testing, we need to question testing. But what are the right questions to ask in an Agile context? Current TPI models have proven to be a mismatch when assessing and improving the test process in this context. So what is missing in the current models and how can we improve testing in an Agile context? Jeroen will show key areas that are important when assessing Agile testing. We need to look broader than testing alone! The development context and the soft skills are important.

Welcome to the EuroSTAR August Webinar

Agile Manifesto
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
