The biggest source of estimation error usually comes from people, either by accident or strategically.

This is a disaster because viable estimates are core to project success as well as ROI determination and other decision making.

Most people don’t know how to estimate. Those who estimate are often optimistic, full of unintentional bias and sometimes strategically mis-estimating.

Join Dan Galorath (LinkedIn profile) and learn how you can sharpen your estimates.

Although many organizations have embraced continuous integration for speedy deployments, quality can suffer as untested code gets added to the tree.

The choice often becomes:

• Do you release the code fast, or
• Do you release fully tested code?

Because the customer’s answer is always “both,” teams must figure out how to move fast while still maintaining an acceptable level of quality.

Software testers and developers should attend this web seminar to learn how they can implement a merge-and-test workflow, which outperforms continuous integration in both velocity and quality.

In this interactive webinar learn:

1. The theory behind the merge-and-test workflow
2. The pros and cons of merge-and-test versus continuous integration
3. Examples of merge-and-test in action
4. How to build a test harness to optimized for speed
5. What you can automate and what you can’t
