On ‘How to make change sustainable after transformation’, Serge Beaumont & Ellen Barree, Agile Coaches – Xebia, Netherlands, talked about , “To make change sustainable you need to work on both the hard and the soft aspects of an organization. What are the successful building blocks for a transformed organization and what kind of approach makes agile truly stick?”
Ellen shared insights on how one can analyse and pay attention to the non-visible elements of one’s organization that can possibly undermine the goals.
Mittal talking on ‘Automation Strategies in Agile World’, said, “Test automation is a prerequisite for full-speed continuous delivery. But we need to go a step further: it is critical that your test automation is dynamic and flexible. The attributes of quality and risk that need to be measured will differ between projects, use cases and over time: performance in one case, security in another, usability and functionality in the next. As a result, the types of tests and test tools that need to be used will never be static.”
