Programme

Transitioning a QA team to Agile testing
An experience report from Clement Pickering, Callcredit, a fast-growing company based in Leeds which now follows (or attempts to follow) agile development methodology. The talk aims to share experiences gained on the journey from a traditional focussed QA team (and what this meant!) to an agile testing approach (and what this means!). Approached from three key angles, People and Mindset, Strategy and Approach and Tools and Techniques the talks goal is to share thoughts, observations and knowledge with attendees and initiate discussion on others experience.

Developer adventures in the clouds
A short account of what it was possible to build without stepping outside the confines of a browser. It touches on Cloud 9 IDE, GitHub, javascript, qUnit and a number of other high scoring items from geek buzzword bingo.
