6:00 - 6:30 PM: Networking- Eat/Meet/Greet

6:30 - 8:00 PM: QA THE AGILE WAY main event

Our topic this month is: Mind Mapping in Software Testing – Ways to Make Testing More Fun!

Producing supportable quality software is an Art! It requires a talented, skilled group of people with a wide range of strengths and weakness to work together to make the end-product. A product a customer will choose every time and build loyalty with. Quality Assurance or Testing is sometimes seen as boring or just an afterthought. It can be tricky sometimes to get the Agile Team; ScrumMaster, PO, Developers, and Stakeholders to speak the same language.
Mind Mapping will help you gain another way of thinking and make testing more fun and engaging for the whole team to get involved. Quality can be gained quickly and easily before even one line of code has been written.

This session will cover:
-What and Why Mind Mapping
-How it can be used for brainstorming and testing (Requirement mapping, Test Cases/Strategy)
-Exploring two free Mind Mapping tools Xmind and Free Mind
-Good, Bad and Myths to Mind Mapping

This will be our first attempt at a virtual speaker and space has been limited to 25 people to allow for discovery and adjustment next sprint. 😊
