Live Webinar August 2, 2011 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EDT
Duration: 1 Hour Credits: 1 PDU Category C
Presented by: PushToTest

When an organization moves to agile software development methodology it becomes easier to forget about agile performance testing. Agile got developers and testers talking to one another. Agile performance testing gets business managers and technical team members communicating.

Business managers need inputs to their risk analysis. For example, PepsiCo uses the results of a load and performance test to assess the risks of running national advertising campaigns on IT system operations. The business manager asks “Are we ready?” and test results contain the answer.

Join Todd Bradfute of PushToTest for a discussion on the following topics:

• Using Open Source Testing (OST) as the common language between managers, testers, developers
• If your confidence is low in test results, use TestMaker to run the tests yourself
• Certifying and hiring testers based on their OST certifications
• How to apply test results to business risk analysis
• People fungability – the ability to move from one role to another – using OST methodology and tools
• How OST enables Test Driven Development (TDD)
• Using OST tools and methodology as a natural solution between testing and test management

The Workshop agenda:

• The why, what, and how of Open Source build and test tools
• Performance Testing Methodology
• Demonstration Of Open Source Test Tools and Functions
• Integration of OST Tools into Agile Test Management Tools
• Q&A, and networking session with the panel

This is a practical and hands-on Workshop for technical team members -Software developers, Testers, IT Managers, and managers -CIOs, CTOs, project managers, and business managers.
