More than a decade has passed since the Agile Manifesto was written to help software developers implement a light-weight mindset and more efficient processes on the projects.

The ideas have now transformed into something much larger with an impact that can be seen across the majority of software development groups and organizations.

During this one-hour web seminar, Tom will discuss a brief evolution of Agile in software development.

Included will be his thoughts on the various flavors that are typically identified as Agile and how they tie to the original Manifesto.

Furthermore, Tom will discuss the idea of a ‘hybrid’ Agile approach (“AgileFall?”) and whether these groups are considered Agile.

He will explore how Agile is viewed by practitioners, specifically, whether Agile should be seen as black and white (i.e., your team is using it, or your team is not using it) versus the idea that Agile can be viewed as a spectrum, indicating that certain teams could be ‘more agile’ than others based on their processes.

By the end of the seminar, you will be equipped with the tools to better understand how your group is utilizing Agile processes and determine “Where your team falls on the ‘spectrum’.”

Model-based Testing for Everyone

Live Webinar May 6th, 2014 11:00 am – 12:30 pm EDT

Model-based testing (MBT) has received a lot of attention in recent years.  Still MBT is not in wide-spread use.

Based on empirical studies of testers using MBT vs. manual testing, we have concluded that one of the most important reasons is the lack of user-friendly and agile MBT tools.

The effect is that testers using MBT spend great efforts on activities that are not directly related to testing, e.g. debugging very long automatically generated test cases.

To address this problem, we have developed an approach based on a free MBT tool that helps the test engineer create and debug the initial model all the way to running test cases in less than one hour.

Once the model is in place, model changes can be done in minutes and new executable test cases can be generated instantly.

In this webinar, we will describe the results from our empirical studies on MBT vs. manual testing. We will also describe the approach and the MBT tool along with several examples of testing of NASA systems. Ater the webinar, participants will be able to download the tool for free.

Most IT organizations need to improve how they manage their applications in order to meet the twin demands of the rest of the business: lower total cost of ownership and improved agility.

But some application organizations are already performing excellently against these two measures.

This presentation shares what we have learned from these paragons of the application world.

Discussion Topics:

  • The significant cultural differences between the best and the rest
  • How breaking down IT silos leads to high reuse and faster time to market
  • How “everything as a service” enables high-frequency operational implementation of application features
