Agile software development lifecycles are comprised of short iterations with working software released at the end of each iteration.
You’ll practice these concepts through hands-on activities that mirror real team workflows: writing and refining user stories and acceptance criteria, mapping value streams, pairing on test design, and wiring lightweight test automation into a CI pipeline. We’ll use popular tooling (e.g., Git-based workflows, issue trackers, and simple build runners) so you can immediately apply what you learn in your own environment. Templates and checklists are included for Definition of Ready/Done, risk-based testing, and sprint ceremonies to help you operationalize agility from day one.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to participate confidently in agile ceremonies, collaborate effectively across roles, and choose the right testing techniques for the context. Whether you’re a tester moving into an agile team, a developer strengthening quality practices, or a product owner seeking tighter feedback loops, you’ll leave with a practical playbook for delivering small, valuable increments—safely and consistently.
In this section, you will have overview of agile development and cover some of the different approaches, including Extreme Programming, Scrum, and Kanban. You will learn the key aspects of testing in an agile environment, as well as the skillset that an agile tester should have.
