Continuous Testing in an Agile Environment

 

Nan Krull, Manager, Software Quality, Macrovision Corp.

 

 

 

Abstract

 

Continuous testing provides both quality improvements and cost savings over the traditional waterfall model.  The principles which make it effective on a standard development project are also an excellent fit on an agile development project.  This presentation will review the benefits of Continuous Testing and detail how it can be used to effectively test in an Agile environment.
