Introduction To Modern Testing - Alan Page
About This Course
Modern Testing, as coined by Alan Page and Brent Jensen, is the antidote for traditional test-last approaches. An evolution of the ground-breaking Agile Testing (Crispin & Gregory). Modern Testing, and it’s accompanying seven principles, provide a philosophy for delivering high-quality software that customers love - delivered by the whole team.
In this course, you’ll learn why we saw a need for Modern Testing (and why we called it Modern Testing), and why we think it’s important. Then, we’ll dive into each principle, and share the thoughts and foundation behind the principle; share examples of the principle in action, and guidance on how to apply each principle in your team or organization.

By the end of this course, you'll be able to:
