Sessions at Future Insights Live 2012 about Test Driven Development on Thursday 3rd May

It’s not true that you must adopt all the tenets of Agile development or none of them. But then, how do you choose which principles will work best? Are there some principles that resonate more for working on mobile platforms and the constrained hardware of smart phones than others? Does TDD work the same way on these projects? Can you exploit pair-programming and weekly sprints? What are the most lightweight tools and processes to develop in an effective way, while not hampering engineering creativity? In this talk, we’ll discuss the lightweight engineering and product management processes we use at Xtreme Labs to build the top mobile apps around including Groupon, the NBA, and MSN. We’ll focus on tools and very lightweight things that allow engineers and product managers to actually work on building projects and staying out of unproductive pitfalls.
