Session: What Testers and Developers Can Learn From Each Other
Wednesday, 15:40 - 16:30
Track: Excellence
The rise of cross-functional agile teams has helped to bring a greater sense of collaboration and mutual respect between developers and testers. But many teams still struggle with the basic issues. What is the role of the tester in an agile team? How many testers do we need? What does a team gain from having professional testers? Perhaps there is another way to approach these questions.
Expectations
Testers and developers can learn a number of specific lessons about their craft by taking from the experiences of the other group.
