Test Strategy in a Day
This tutorial suggests that rather than being a document, test strategy is a thought process. The outcome of the thinking might be a short or a long document, but most importantly, the strategy must address the needs of the participants inside the project as well as the customers of the product to be built. It needs to be appropriate to a short agile project or to a 1000 man-year development. It has to have the buy-in of stakeholders but most importantly, it must have value and be communicated.
This tutorial presents a practical definition of a Test Strategy, provides a simple template for creating one and describes a systematic approach to thinking the right way. This will be an interactive session. Bring your test strategy problems with you - we'll try and address them during the day. You will receive a free copy of the Tester's Pocketbook.

Building Better Software with Business Stories
Using business stories and examples to build better software is an approach that is currently being adopted by forward thinking organisations and individuals. This approach places business stories at the heart of software development, regardless of your development process. We offer a two day course to introduce the Business Story Method and give you the skills to test requirements and systems using stories. We are presenting regular public courses but we can also present the course to your team at your site. Download the course brochure here.
