The Agile Build & Test Series, QLD
This May, K. J. Ross & Associates, in partnership with Strategic Systems, will present two weeks of training specifically designed for software developers..jpg)
This comprehensive series of focused software training workshops delivers the modern-day techniques required to develop high quality, user-centric and robust software applications.
The Agile Build & Test Series courses explore a new paradigm of working, allowing you to develop applications in a far more iterative fashion, yet many organisations have trouble implementing agile approaches, compromising application quality for speed of delivery.
The workshops provide developers with best practice skills and techniques across the entire project lifecycle. Developers will further their competence in design techniques and methodologies as well as acquiring hands on skills in software testing in an agile environment.
"These workshops provide the skills to allow developers to work in an agile environment without compromising rigour and quality"Courses
In the first week, Strategic Systems from Western Australia . will be visiting Brisbane to run three courses covering the essential practices for software developers Strategic Systems specialises in agile and object-oriented techniques through training and mentoring services as well as product solutions. The core focus is on increasing the quality and productivity of the software engineering developmentsIn the second week K. J. Ross & Associates will be running courses covering the software testing skills required by developers.

This course assists in the mindshift towards software application development and will give testers the essential skills in test design, appreciation of the use of tools and a high-level appreciation of test planning, while also addressing the need for development in soft-skills and reinforcing the need for greater collaboration and communication between project participants through a balanced mix of theory and facilitated workshop exercises. |
| Test Driven Development |
25-26 May | 2 Days | $1460 |
Test Driven Development (TDD) prevents testing becoming an afterthought through its simple rule of “only change the code once a test fails”. TDD acts as the to do list of coding requirements, but also acting as a mechanism to continuously assess quality as changes are made. This 2-day interactive, PC based training course will provide attendees an experience with TDD, with a hands-on training experience to reinforce the principles learned. |
| Agile Test Management |
27 May | 1 Day | $730 |
Test managers are facing new challenges on how to adapt their testing process, as more development shops move to some form of Agile developmental process. By discussing the different Agile approaches, this course will help the test manager ensure that the most appropriate practices are employed to plan, manage and implement testing. |
| Testing for Software Developers | 28-29 May | 2 Days | $1460 |
Failures of software systems are occurring more frequently and are having more dramatic impact. This 2-day hands-on, PC based training course focuses on the essential testing issues that every developer should be aware of.
