"Agile Testing" is a term loaded with promise and freedom as well as fear and loathing – most of all, there is uncertainty simply because it is new territory.
Is the traditional tester a dinosaur now or can evolution prevail? What is the role of automation with Agile practices? What tool paradigms will rule in Agile – novice-level record/replay or IDE-integrated developer-level automated powerhouses? What about geographically distributed teams? Management is downsizing and outsourcing while SCRUM masters preach – "collocated teams are the only way!" Perhaps there are more questions than answers, but some folks have been there and learned a bit along the way.
Join an elite panel of experts in Agile and Agile Testing for this "Agile Stand-up on Agile Testing". Expert practitioners, QA Managers and Consultants will answer these and other core questions posed by the audience in "Stand-up" format – i.e. each will remain standing up for the entire session (we'll be nice and give them stools to lean on). Each respondent will be given 2-minute time limits to stay on topic.
Expert Panel Includes:
Lisa Crispin
ePlan Services, Inc.
Elisabeth Hendrickson
Quality Tree Software, Inc.
Antony Marcano

Dietmar Strasser
Borland, The Open ALM Company
Join this fun and informative session on what is perhaps the biggest buzz in the testing industry!

| Panel Discussion Led by Ross Collard |
|
|
| There's a great deal of buzz about the future of software testing and quality. It is natural to speculate about innovations, trends and blind alleys—realistically, what works and what does not. Before we can understand where we are likely to be going or where we want to be, it helps to have a realistic sense of where we are today. This facilitated bonus session will be a hearty and illuminating exchange of ideas. |
