Iterative testing: Myths and realities What: Myths arise from a lack of direct
experience. In the absence of information we form beliefs based on what we
think we know, often with a skeptical feeling towards what we dont know. In
the realm of software development, myths can make it difficult to approach
real-world problems objectively, thus putting budgets and schedules at
increased risk. Ill explain how iterative development principles can address
these common misunderstandings and lead us to a pragmatic testing methodology
that mitigates or avoids altogether many common software development
pitfalls, some of which our mythology holds as inevitable. Type: Presentation. Contact Laura Rose to setup a web-conference
