Fast feedback and virtuous cycle workshop by James Lyndsay

We are thrilled to announce that James Lyndsay (https://twitter.com/workroomprds) is coming to Lyon and will lead a 45' interactive session where attendees will explore how information from testing helps to grow good systems.

About the workshop

In this session, we'll look at how testing helps an organisation as it builds a system. You'll explore customised software to uncover common feedback pathologies, and will dig into what it means, as a tester, to give feedback that is swift, relevant and true.

You'll see a model of how feedback from testing fits with information from other sources. James will show you how to identify and feed virtuous cycles in systems, and we'll talk about specific examples of virtuous cycles in testing.

This session is particularly relevant if you work in a team that tests systems (beyond code), and if your organisation values the information you produce. Come to this session to understand how information from testing helps us to grow good systems.

Bring a computer or hand-held device to test with.
