An Agile Success Story – XBOSoft is Holding a Webinar on Improving Development and QA Synergies
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 29, 2013 -- On December 5th, 2013, XBOSoft will host a webinar presenting a success story of a developer and a tester working together to improve the software of a mobile heart monitor device.
In this webinar JeanAnn Harrison, a tester, and Jonathan Spurgin, a developer, will share their experiences in improving developer-tester relationships to achieve higher quality products. In particular, they’ll discuss how they made their cooperation a successful one by not just finding and fixing bugs but improving the user experience of a mobile heart monitor that patients used at home.
XBOSoft, a software quality assurance and testing firm, hosts monthly webinars on topics that organizations are dealing with today in order to help them achieve higher quality software. Such topics include mobile testing, agile testing, user experience testing, and performance testing.
In this webinar, JeanAnn and Jonathan present how they:
• Worked together to find defects early in the life cycle
• Involved QA in discussions on design to give QA a jump on user stories and test strategies
• Deciphered the complex architecture of the entire system as input to systems integration testing
• Worked out ideas on how to improve the user experience
The webinar will show how working together in a regulated agile environment teamwork solved many issues. “Developers and testers do not always work well together which is why we really wanted to share our experience. To show that it can happen and when it does it's much better for the success of the project," says JeanAnn Harrison.
JeanAnn and Jonathan hope to discourage the “us against them mentality” that sometimes exists between developers and testers by sharing their agile success story. With a lot of teams moving to an agile process the need for improving tester - developer relationships is more important than ever.
The webinar will be held on 12/5/13 from 1-2 pm EST, to register click here:
