On February 4th, Janet Gregory gave a presentation titled “Focus your testing using the Agile Testing Matrix”.

“The agile testing matrix provides a common vocabulary to agile teams for customers, testers and developers. It is a  powerful tool which focuses on the purpose of different types of testing necessary for any agile project. There are  tests that support the team and drive development, and tests which critique the product. Janet talked about the  different roles on a team and how they can work together to get all your testing done.”

Janet was kind enough to make her insightfull presentation available to Agile Edmonton.  Thank-you Janet!
