Although we know that creating a solid automated test suite is critical to any agile testing strategy, we are often just told to "Do it" without much support-money or people. Jared Richardson examines the infrastructure and tools you need for your automated testing to succeed and prosper. Jared examines three strategies''Test-Driven Development, Defect Driven Testing, and Blitzkrieg Testing--you can use to ensure great test coverage on your projects. Looking at real life scenarios as a backdrop, Jared discusses appropriate testing strategies for your current project or the next one down the road.
