Agile Alliance Functional Testing Tools Open Space Workshop

Link to Event

This is the second Agile Alliance Functional Testing Tools workshop. The first, held in October 2007 in Portland Oregon, was a great success. In this second workshop, we’re increasing the size and moving to an open space like format. The primary purpose of this workshop is still to discuss cutting-edge advancements in and envision possibilities for the future of automated functional testing tools.

As an open-space style workshop, the content comes from the participants, and we expect all participants to take an active role. We’re seeking participants who have interest and experience in creating and/or using automated functional testing tools/frameworks on Agile projects.

This workshop is sponsored by the Agile Alliance Functional Testing Tools Program. The mission of this program is to advance the state of the art of automated functional testing tools used by Agile teams to automate customer-facing tests.

There is no cost to participate. Participants will be responsible for their own travel expenses.

Due to room constraints, we can accommodate up to 60 participants. Registrations will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis to participants who complete the registration process.
