Brief Description:

Agile software engineering is an iterative and flexible approach to software development that emphasizes collaboration, customer satisfaction, and adaptability to changing requirements. It promotes continuous delivery, continuous improvement, and rapid feedback cycles. Agile methodologies, such as Scrum and Kanban, prioritize working software over comprehensive documentation and encourage self-organizing teams. Agile also values individuals and interactions over processes and tools, fostering a culture of innovation and creativity in software development

Agile Software Engineering answers the questions:

How do I build a test-first, principle-based team environment and technical infrastructure?
How do Agile teams use BDD to create a shared understanding?
How do we build in quality throughout the Continuous Delivery Pipeline?

Attendees learn:

How to apply the test-first principle to align tests and requirements.
How to detail, model, design, implement, verify, and validate stories in a SAFe Continuous Delivery Pipeline.
Practices such as abstraction, encapsulation, and SOLID that build quality into code and design.
Foundational Lean, Agile, and DevOps principles and practices.
How to use the test infrastructure for automated testing.
How to design from context for testability.
