    Topic: Agile Software Testing Strategies

    Creating and maintaining a solid automated test suite is critical to an Agile strategy, but often we're just told to "Do it." In this talk we'll look at several pragmatic strategies for creating and building your suite.
           
    We'll examine these strategies and then look at scenarios for using them next week. This presentation will get you started whether you're starting a new project or trying to clean up an existing one.

    I’m slightly older than the computing industry, and have been programming since my undergraduate days. My cellphone now has more raw compute power than some of the computers I used in graduate school. It's an exciting time to be doing software!

    I listen to the Java Posse and Software Engineering Radio.

    Topic: Surveying the Landscape Lightning Talk

Directions:

We are meeting at the Information Sciences building (affectionately known as "Building X") of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, located at 160 Shadyac Avenue (formerly North Parkway) in downtown Memphis.

Please be aware that the entrance gate is on Third Street. Ignore any instructions from Google Maps to turn onto North Parkway/Shadyac Avenue. We are meeting in the building at the corner of Third Street and Shadyac Ave. - it has a blue awning over the front door (which is clearly visible on the satellite imagery, and now has the St. Jude logo as well).

You will need to buzz in at the gate and tell St. Jude security you are here for the Java User Group meeting.
