Speaking at Acts as Conference

I’m excited to speak at Acts as Conference this year. I’ll be giving a modified version of my talk, Testing as Communication, which I gave at the Professional Ruby Conference last November (see wrap-up post). I’m reworking and enhancing my core talk a bit to emphasize the theme of the conference: software development in tough economic times. I’ll cover business-as-usual testing at Hashrocket, and:

1. how our agile methods like pairing, stories, and diligent testing actually save us time
2. how each of our tools and techniques enhance client communication, but with low overhead, and minimal workflow interruption
3. how we deliver early and often (constantly, actually)
