In many traditional development processes software testing is often seen as an activity that comes after development. In agile development with its short release cycles developers and testers cooperate in iterations of just a few weeks to deliver a “finished”, tested software product at the end of that iteration. This leaves little time for regression testing. Automating a large part of your regression tests could help you speed up, but • How do you incorporate test automation in an agile development process? • Who should be responsible for creating and maintaining these tests, testers, developers, both? • How to best manage this? • When in the iteration should you create these tests, and when should you run them? • What automated test coverage should you aim for? To answer these questions XBOSoft and Go2Group hosted a webinar on How to make test automation work in agile development. For more about XBOSoft, please visit http://www.xbosoft.com

8. Statement
GUI Test Automation and Agile are a natural fit.

9. Who is responsible?
 A separate (automation) team is responsible for test
automation.
 Test automation is a collaborative effort in agile
development.
 Or…

10. Statement - Tools
To make test automation work in an agile
environment we need different tools than we
would need to make test automation work using
traditional development methods.

11. Test / Development Integration
- How does everyone work together?
- What do we do with test reports?

12. Workflow

13. QA
- How many cases should be automated?
- How much time will it take to implement?
- How can I convince my boss to move to test automation /
Agile?

14. Agile automation assessment
