Agile Constraints Assessment Workshop

You know something is keeping your agile organization from successfully reaching its maximum potential, but you don’t know how to figure out what that thing is. Treating the symptoms seems to be adding a lot of band-aids to your process and they don’t seem to work anyway. When you try to change many things at once it wastes energy and distracts your people.

Imagine what a difference it would make if you could find the one constraint which is holding your organization back. What if you could focus your energy in the one place which would make the most difference? You can! Our Constraints Assessment Workshop does just that. The workshop is based on The Thinking Process promoted by renowned Theory of Constraints expert Eli Goldratt.

Agile Testing with Cucumber

A 2-day course for testers and developers. The first day focuses on what testers and developers can do to provide up-front, “test-first” acceptance tests, which also serve as readable, executable specifications. The second day the team will implement and execute the tests using Cucumber. Developers will learn how to implement the Cucumber test scenarios for the system under test. Agile teams struggling with automated testing need to attend this course!

Agile Testing with Fit and FitNesse

A 2-day course for testers and developers.  The first day focuses on what testers can do to provide up-front, "test-first" acceptance tests, which also serve as readable, executable specifications.  The second day the team will implement and execute the tests using Ward Cunningham’s Framework for Integrated Tests (Fit) as a sample tool.  Developers will learn how to build Fit "fixtures" (in either Java or C#) which connect the tests to the system under test.  Assistance is available to help you choose the particular collaborative tool appropriate for your team (basic FIT, FitNesse, FitLibrary using FolderRunner, or FitLibrary using ZiBreve). Agile teams struggling with automated testing need to attend this course!
