Elisabeth Hendrickson

ABSTRACT
As more teams are adopting Agile practices such as XP and Scrum, software testing teams are being asked to become "Agile" as well. But what does that mean? Is the Agile label yet another buzzword? Or could it be Agile practices are actually changing the way software is built? In this talk Elisabeth Hendrickson shares her perspective on how test teams can be more Agile based on her experiences working as a tester on Agile teams. Along the way, she'll provide an overview of how Agile practices differ from traditional practices and discuss what those differences mean for independent test teams.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God - All the Glory to JESUS CHRIST. May God save you !

Elisabeth is right about the importance of a collaborative teamwork, in others words whats Agile testing means. But is also important to use all the tools available on the internet researching if a solution or alternative is available to resolve common issues. Thats what I learn as freelancer programming microcontrollers. Today the amount of information about issues and fixes in the internet is huge, the key is to be effective on the research of such information on the Net.

A few random samples of Closed Captioning issues: "Bull pen or bullpen had multiple variations--it was amusing, but confusing. "You create" was translated as 'Ukrainian.' "Testers" became 'pastors.' The other issue is sentence structure & punctuation & use of upper & lower case letters. This needs to be taken seriously. English is often used as an international language for business & the rules need to apply, if we are to be taken seriously. Critical watching will illustrate my points.

This was a terrific presentation You Tube video & it provided many valuable insights, examples & analogies. Liked: "Fewer bugs instead of better bug tracking systems." The broken windows in New York City analogy, in terms of demonstrating caring about something versus not caring. "Responsibility belongs to the team." Contra: being slightly hearing impaired & the irony of this being about testing. This was one of the worst examples of Closed Captioning I have seen/heard. Examples later.
