Join agile coaches Bob Galen from RGCG and Michael Cooper from the QASymphony Board of Advisors as they explore key aspects of the 3-Pillars of Agile Quality & Testing framework that Bob and Mary Thorn developed. In this dynamic panel discussion Bob and Michael will tackle what it takes to be a balanced and effective tester in today’s agile world. We’ll talk about tools, techniques, attitudes, and adjustments. There will be no “one size fits all” strategies here, just real-world experience sharing stories about what works and what doesn’t.
