Lean-Agile Testing Practices
Abstract
Lean-Agile methods promote the rapid delivery of value to the customer. One way they do this is to defer detailed definition and design of system features until the “last responsible moment.” This challenges the whole team to stay continuously synchronized within very short Iteration cycles. The team must be creative, smart, and efficient with their testing activities. Explore the Agile testing practices that have evolved to achieve the goal of delivering the highest value features, more quickly to the customer. read more » Read more about Lean-Agile Testing Practices
