“As Agile methods have entered the mainstream, we’ve learned a lot
about how the testing discipline fits into Agile projects. Lisa and
Janet give us a solid look at what to do, and what to avoid, in
Agile testing.”
–Ron Jeffries, www.XProgramming.com
“An excellent introduction to agile and how it affects the software
test community!”
–Gerard Meszaros, Agile Practice Lead and Chief Test Strategist at
Solution Frameworks, Inc., an agile coaching and lean software
development consultancy
“In sports and music, people know the importance of practicing
technique until it becomes a part of the way they do things. This
book is about some of the most fundamental techniques in software
development–how to build quality into code–techniques that should
become second nature to every development team. The book provides
both broad and in-depth coverage of how to move testing to the
front of the development process, along with a liberal sprinkling
of real-life examples that bring the book to life.”
–Mary Poppendieck, Author of Lean Software Development and
Implementing Lean Software Development
“Refreshingly pragmatic. Chock-full of wisdom. Absent of dogma.
This book is a gamechanger. Every software professional should read
it.”
–Uncle Bob Martin, Object Mentor, Inc.
“With Agile Testing, Lisa and Janet have used their holistic
sensibility of testing to describe a culture shift for testers and
teams willing to elevate their test effectiveness. The combination
of real-life project experiences and specific techniques provide an
excellent way to learn and adapt to continually changing project
needs.”
–Adam Geras, M.Sc. Developer-Tester, Ideaca Knowledge Services
“On Agile projects, everyone seems to ask, ‘But, what about
testing?’ Is it the development team’s responsibility entirely, the
testing team, or a collaborative effort between developers and
testers? Or, ‘How much testing should we automate?’ Lisa and Janet
have written a book that finally answers these types of questions
and more! Whether you’re a tester, developer, or manager, you’ll
learn many great examples and stories from the real-world work
experiences they’ve shared in this excellent book.”
–Paul Duvall, CTO of Stelligent and co-author of Continuous
Integration: Improving Software Quality and Reducing Risk
“Finally a book for testers on Agile teams that acknowledges there
is not just one right way! Agile Testing provides comprehensive
coverage of the issues testers face when they move to Agile: from
tools and metrics to roles and process. Illustrated with numerous
stories and examples from many contributors, it gives a clear
picture of what successful Agile testers are doing today.”
–Bret Pettichord, Chief Technical Officer of WatirCraft and Lead
Developer of Watir
