Agile software development has gained widespread adoption in traditional software domains, and its presence is increasingly seen in telecommunications product development as well. The benefits from a development standpoint are many: Specifications can adapt dynamically with market needs; complex requirements for the entire system are also not needed at the start; and developers have more freedom to exercise their creativity, especially when they can see a better design.

However, from a testing perspective, myth has it that agile methodologies can quickly turn into a nightmare as testing is being done against a moving target. This apprehension is even stronger in the telecommunications domain, where there is heavy investment in test infrastructure, automation equipment, and specialized training of personnel.

Join our experts for a webinar on June 30, 2011 at 10:00 am BT, to learn about the challenges, pitfalls, and best practices in testing products that have been developed using the agile methodology. We will be providing real world examples of specific situations and techniques that are based on our experience in testing products for many Tier 1 telecom vendors over the past 10 years.

By attending this webinar you will learn how to bust the top 7 agile testing myths by:

  • Addressing key challenges for testing in an agile environment
  • Identifying typical risks and pitfalls to avoid across testing phases
  • Developing agile testing solutions utilizing recommended best practices
