I was really impressed with your presentation today which was in fact the best of the EuroSTAR week...
@itznigy Nigel Johnson
@adampknight Great presentation.My team and I found it useful.Always interesting to hear real life stories.Good luck on your agile journey
@Steven_Cross Steven Cross
Pretty impressed with @adampknight at #Eurostar
@TestSideStory Zeger Van Hese
Good stuff in @adampknight's session about the evolution of his testing in an agile project. And pictures of dinosaurs too! FTW! #esconfs
@steveo1967 John Stevenson
@adampknight another great track to make you think #esconfs

@ElizaFx ElizaFx
@adampknight suspects that his testing team has not reached evolution pinacle yet. When they do will look like refugees from the x-files

@adampknight "If it does not have testability - then it becomes very difficult to automate" #esconfs
@gbrindusa Brindusa Gabur
Automation principles: incremental growth, DRY (don't repeat yourself), user input driven, testability @adampknight #esconfs
@michaelbolton Michael Bolton
Since "done" is a) a bit, and b) a business decision, @adampknight's test team provides information about the story instead. #esconfs

@adampknight mentions Thread Based Exploratory #testing @jamesmarcusbach mentioned it here: bit.ly/beAnja #esconfs
@michaelbolton Michael Bolton
A report on a thread-based approach to #testing time management, where session-based didn't fit the context. @adampknight #esconfs

#esconfs @adampknight really enjoying this talk, especially dinosaur slides :)
@darren_mcmillan Darren McMillan
@adampknight showed me his scope analysis model earlier in the test lab, fantastic stuff. Would have been good detail in his slides #esconfs
@darren_mcmillan Darren McMillan
Analysing new scope: Define risks, assumptions, acceptance criteria @adampknight #esconfs
@gbrindusa Brindusa Gabur
Testers, challenge requirements!!!Reject solutions,request examples,raise testing profile!Collaboration is the key- @adampknight #esconfs

Requesting examples of user stories and challenging the requirements uncovered hidden information @adampknight #esconfs
