SiliconIndia have released a great article on Agile Testing and the Embedded World.

Written by Suman Ravikumar, and “Agile Testing” is the news buzz word in the Embedded world, the article focuses on Software development and the approach taken towards testing in an Agile Environment.

“Agile” is currently the buzz word in the software development world. Software developers are currently having a “passionate affair” with Agile and are adopting the methodology at very fast pace. You would have no doubt heard somebody in your organization mention about it or read about the aspects of Agile on a number of software development related or technology related websites.

Agile testing is a software testing practice that follows the principles of agile software development. Agile testing does not emphasize testing procedures and focuses on ongoing testing against newly developed code until quality software from an end customer’s perspective results.
Forrester Research reports that Agile software development processes are in use at 14 percent of North American and European enterprises, and another 19 percent of enterprises are either interested in adopting Agile or already planning to do so.

How does Planning Poker work?

The idea behind Planning Poker is simple. Individual stories are presented for estimation. After a period of discussion, each participant chooses from his own deck the numbered card that represents his estimate of how much work is involved in the story under discussion. All estimates are kept private until each participant has chosen a card. At that time, all estimates are revealed and discussion can begin again.
Our Tool Lets Even Distributed Teams Estimate Together

Planning Poker is the best way we’ve found for agile teams to estimate. It’s primary downside has been that all participants had to be sitting in the same room with a physical deck of cards in their hands.

Now, this free online tool lets distributed teams take advantage of Planning Poker, too.
