Continuous Integration, Continuous Agitation
Agile software practices have put a new emphasis on code quality and moved the responsibility for that quality onto the laps of developers.
In this talk we will cover the application and benefits of Managed Developer (unit) Testing in an agile development shop, based on the real work experiences of the Agitar development team as they work through a development schedule to product release.
You will learn about the real life application and experience of applying Managed Developer (unit) Testing, TDD (Test Driven Development), using continuous integration with CruiseControl, the purpose of extreme feedback monitors, and the blending of JUnit-based testing and Continuous Agitation.
