Test-Driven Development

An invited speaker for PNSQC 2019, James is an agile technical coach with a focus on real-world engineering. He is co-founder with Diana Larsen of the Agile Fluency™ Project.  

James will present "Secrets of Test-Driven Development" — diving into what it is, how it works, and why it works. This introductory session covers why TDD is important and how this technical practice allows us to effectively maintain a constantly changing code base.

Clarifying Your Vision for Quality
The PNSQC 2020 Program Committee is sharing their Wish List of conference topics that they hope prospective speakers will cover in their submissions.
