There is no doubt that a solid unit testing practice is fundamental for building a successful testing strategy, but organizations struggle to effectively adopt and scale unit testing.

Stymied by the effort, specialized skills, and time required to create, scale, and maintain an effective unit testing practice, many end up with gaps in coverage and release code with more risk than desirable.

To tear down the barriers to unit testing, organizations can leverage technology that guides users through process, performing the tedious aspects of creating and maintaining meaningful test cases.

  • Leverage guided unit test creation technology for better and more meaningful code coverage numbers

By breaking down the methodologies into smaller components, Benoit will explore how the ingredients of traditional and Agile can be blended more easily, doing away with dogmatic approaches.

Learn:

  • How Agile is different but also similar to traditional methods
  • How Agile techniques can complement more traditional approaches
  • What other companies are doing to improve how they manage work this way.

Agile approaches continue to increase in popularity in the world of project management. A range of popular Agile methods have been employed to varying degrees by organizations to support their project management practices.

But few of them offer a complete project management solution (e.g. covering the full project lifecycle, roles & responsibilities, etc).

AgilePM guidance – published by the Agile Business Consortium – offers a complete framework for agile project management, achieving an ideal balance between the standards, rigour and visibility required for good project management, and the fast-pace, change and empowerment provided by agile.

And it’s proving very popular. Since its introduction in 2010, over 85,000 AgilePM exams have been sat globally, making it the leading guidance and certification for agile project management.

During this webinar, Armel Quirino (LinkedIn profile) AgilePM instructor at QRP International) will delve into the guidance, outlining the key features that make it a complete framework for successful agile projects.
