Course Description

This course, which is taught by senior consultants who are ScrumMasters and ASTQB certified testers, covers the concepts, methodologies, and implementation of testing software in an Agile environment. Students will learn the key differences between traditional testing and agile testing from the planning stage through the implementation stage. We will examine the challenges and strategies of how to test effectively within short sprints, and discuss ways to implement test strategies that increase efficiency. The course will be run as a mini-Scrum project to provide the students with a hands-on learning experience. This course is available in a public, open-enrollment format and as a private on-site class.
