| Write Right Agile User Story Acceptance Tests Right |
|
|
Wednesday December 11, 2019 Many QA/testing professionals find themselves squeezed out of Agile projects, or mainly just writing user story acceptance tests, which often may be their major role even when still part of the Agile project team. Continued involvement makes it important to do it well. Frankly, though, many Agile project participants report great difficulty writing user stories and especially their acceptance tests. Learn what use story acceptance tests need to demonstrate and why much of conventional wisdom about them is misleading or distracting. Practice key techniques for testing the right things and applying proven QA/testing concepts.
