Ken Brennock Practices of quality and testing when implementing Agile methodologies Agile implementations often struggle to implement effective approaches to testing that achieve productivity enhancements with the required level of quality. The aim of this presentation is to provide insights into the various approaches and practices of quality and testing when implementing Agile methodologies. The presentation will examine past experiences where quality/testing have often not been successful, to the present where testers are starting to understand their role in a wide variety of agile team implementations and will conclude with considerations of what the future might hold for role of testing in agile projects.

Colm O'hEocha New to Agile 1) Agile is different - it involves a paradigm shift in how we conduct
software development. Its not just a case of buying a new tool and
renaming roles in the team - it involves a highly pragmatic,
risk-adverse approach to development, based on the same lean thinking
that made manufactures like Toyota world leaders in product development.
2) Agile is good - research shows it is delivering real business
agility, productivity, quality. Real world experiences with agile can
be used to build strong business cases and demonstrate its benefits.
3) Agile is going mainstream - contrary to common myths, its not just
for small co-located teams working on green-fields projects where
quality isn't critical. Its being applied across global enterprises
and a wide variety of project types.

Nicolas Paez Lightweight Agile framework for quality assurance in Small and Medium Enterprises Based on their business needs, many software SMEs differentiate
through the high quality of their deliverables, compliancy with standards and
alignment with engineering best practices. In this session I will explain how an SME in
that context, successfully used a lightweight framework based on premises like
self-assessment, tailoring, automation and positive peer pressure that assured a
high level of service quality while removing the implied costs that would be
derived from implementing a QA department. The framework aligned with the
company’s agile processes allowing teams, through the implementation of short
iterations, to assess their compliancy with a tailored quality baseline and make
reviews with the help of cross-teams Quality Reviewers. The result was a low
cost framework that helped to grow factors like overall process quality while
increasing quality perceived from the customer.
