There runs a heated debate about how to build application architectures. Many practitioners believe you must design up front, others feel that doing so leads to over-design. Unfortunately, much of this debate is based on practices, not principles. Practices must change when one finds oneself in a different context. Principles do not. This talk presents a background of several useful principles which can help in building an application architecture dynamically.

The advent of agile methodologies have caused concern and confusion in many an SQA organization; are agile practices like Test Driven Development and Acceptance Testing about to drive the SQA teams and practitioners into irrelevance? To the contrary, with a little adjustment SQA actually emerges in a leading role in software development process!This talk will show how lean/agile methodologies, by their nature, reassign SQA a leading role in software development through the practice of Acceptance Testing and Test Driven Development.

Part IIITechnical Track: Design & ProgrammingWhile full up-front designs are not the proper approach in virtually all agile projects, no design up front can also be a problem. This webinar discusses some techniques for decoupling modules early on. In other words, although we may not know how things will change, we often know of dependencies between modules that will morph over time. This webinar presents three case studies: Start: 12:00 pm
Part IIIManagement Track: ProcessThis webinar discusses why Scrum works and how Lean's metaphor of Fast-Flexible-Flow can be used to modify standard Scrum practices as needed. Additionally, Scrum#'s enterprise view and Lean Management philosophy will be the basis for creating an Enterprise/Organization wide team to manage dependencies across teams without command and control.

This seminar discusses how design patterns can be used to improve the entire software development process - not just the design aspect of it. Design patterns are usually thought of as being limited to solving local design/implementation problems. | ||
