Agile, TDD and Swift Training Course

This 2 day course is suitable for any IT professionals who are interested in using the Waterfall model and how people have traditionally tried to deal with its shortcomings - including, but not limited to, Agile approaches.

The aim of the 1st day is to give an overview of these approaches enabling you to decide what might suit them in your environment.

The 2nd day looks at project management techniques and good practices that have been identified from Agile, and which can be applied in a Waterfall or Agile context.

This course focuses on the business analyst role to be successful on Agile projects. Course participants will learn how to cooperate with the Team, Product Owner, Scrum Master as well as with the Customer to facilitate the development process. Participants will go through a mock project practising common scenarios.

The iSQI Agile Essentials course is an internationally recognised qualification, Aimed at anyone involved in agile Projects and wants to become familiar with working in an agile environment. This includes Project Managers, Quality Managers, Software Development Managers, Business Analysts, Developers, Testers, IT Directors and Management Consultants. The course is comprised of eight sections and takes participants through the lifecycle of an agile project from the release planning and writing user stories to the iteration review (showcase) and retrospective. The first day focuses on the key principles (55% of the day on theory, 45% exercises), the second is dominated by practical application (40% theory, 60% exercises).

Course Objectives

• Value the principles behind agile manifesto and its approach to software development
• Appreciate the roles within an agile team 
• Understand how to contribute as an agile team member to quantifiable requirements
• Apply Whole Team quality methods to ensure acceptance criteria are met
• Appreciate the importance of effective Iteration Reviews and how to contribute to continuous improvement through retrospectives

This instructor-led, live training in Brazil (online or onsite) is aimed at marketing executives who wish to understand how to leverage Agile frameworks to optimize growth marketing strategies, create customer-centric products, and achieve scalable growth.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the key frameworks used in agile product management.
• Analyze the potential demand for new products and services.
• Learn how to price new products and techniques for tuning value.

Agile Software Testing is a series of testing practice that provides feesback to software quality issues in a timely and continuous manner following the principles of agile development.

Continuous Integration (CI) refers to all developers in a team merging their work several times a day.

This course provides a brief introduction to Agile software testing. It deals with foundational test concepts, within the context of Agile (Scrum) development and uses Crispin & Gregory's (More Agile Testing, 2014) Agile Testing Quadrants model as a framework to explore contemporary principles and practices of Agile testing.

TDD, or Test Driven Development, is an approach to developing software where coding, testing, and design occur in tandem throughout the software development cycle. Agile is a broader process and management approach to software development that emphasizes incremental delivery, team collaboration, continual planning, and continual learning.

In this instructor-led, live training (onsite or remote), participants will learn how to write high-quality C applications using a TDD and Agile development approach. Participants will put their knowledge into practice by carrying out a series of hands-on exercises to create a well-designed and well-tested C application.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure development and testing tools needed to carry out TDD
• Design, develop and unit test a C application using a TDD approach
• Apply planning and management practices of Agile development

Audience

• Developers
• Project managers

Format of the Course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

Overview

This 2-day course provides a brief introduction to Agile software testing. It deals with foundational test concepts, within the context of Agile (Scrum) development and uses Crispin & Gregory’s (More Agile Testing, 2014) Agile Testing Quadrants model as a framework to explore contemporary principles and practices of Agile testing.

Intended Audience

This course is intended for development teams who want to improve their testing practices in an Agile context.

It is also suitable for those intending to pursue testing as a specific career and is a suitable pre-requisite for the iSQI Certified Agile Tester course.

This instructor-led, live training in Brazil (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level software developers and QA engineers who wish to adopt and master TDD principles and practices to improve code quality and development efficiency.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the principles and workflow of Test-Driven Development (TDD).
• Write effective and maintainable unit tests.
• Utilize mocking frameworks to create comprehensive test scenarios.
• Apply TDD as a design tool to create robust and flexible code.

Objective:

Helping Business Analysts to understand how to efficiently model and validate their business processes and resources in order to increase business agility of their organization on the basis of their target architecture and changing market needs.

This 2 day training course aims at helping delegates to learn how to model their business processes and resources in order to adapt them to changes of their goals, strategies and impacted capabilities as part of the target architecture. On the basis of the key elements of business performance (strategies, tactics, KPI, business capabilities, etc...), delegates learn there how to elaborate a vision centric business process and resource cartography. Then, only using the appropriate BPMN and UML notation adapted to their language, they understand how to adapt them to changing strategies, tactics and policies.
