Course Description

All too often the software products delivered to the business do not meet their expectations, especially with regard to the quality of the product. Sometimes with the focus on Agile’s “doing it faster” approach, the Agile teams may opt for speed over quality, therefore releasing a working product that may not have gone through adequate testing or has simply overlooked the alternate and exception scenarios.

An effective Agile User Acceptance Testing (A-UAT) approach addresses this issue by confirming the functionality and performance of the product based on writing light-weight test cases in order to validate each User Story prior to its release to the business.

This two-day workshop looks at the Agile team issues that drive the need for a fully functional testing process and describes the components of such a process. It is designed to help Agile teams with an understanding of their role, the process, and the deliverables associated with UAT testing.

Learning Objectives:

  • Develop an understanding about basic concepts associated with user acceptance testing

  • See how testing applies to both Waterfall and Agile software development process.
