Course Overview
Technical excellence, customer satisfaction, and a focus on working software are key components of the Agile manifesto. In order to realise the full benefits of Agile development, teams must implement strong testing and technical practices. This training course demonstrates testing strategies and tactics that ensure high and sustainable quality in an Agile environment. This course qualifies for the ICAgile Certified Professional in Agile Testing (ICP-TST), and for 21 Scrum Alliance SEUs.
