You probably forgot this is an Agile Methods Users Group. It needs to be Agile. You should embrace the change instead of complaining about it. Kris has been doing a great job to live up with the Agile title. Happy Holiday everyone!

If I had known about this a week ago, I would have been able to come. At this late date, it is unlikely that I can make arrangements.

Just a reminder, TOMORROW is the December CAMUG meeting at the University of Calgary.  Tuesday, December 4th at 6pm!  Come enjoy a short interesting talk, some free snacks, and network with other agile-oriented professionals.  There is no membership or pre-registration required for this meeting.

Information about this meeting as well as past and upcoming events is available on our website:

http://www.calgaryagile.com<http://www.calgaryagile.com/>

This month, Cory Green of TransCanada and Stelios Pantazopoulos of ThoughtWorks will be bringing us an in-depth experience report with insights focusing on Testing.

The title of their presentation will be: "Testing on the TransCanada Alberta Gas Accounting Project."

As part of this talk, Cory and Stelios will outline how this project may or may not be typical of agile projects, and how their lessons learned can be of use to you. This TransCanada project involved new and legacy code, with a high risk factor and a two year scope. The content of the presentation will focus on how testing influenced the outcome of this project.

Cory and Stelios will take us through the project life cycle, showing how testing fit into the day to day delivery of functionality. They will also elaborate on how some agile best practices contributed to the testing effort:

  - Excel-based Automated Functional Tests

  - Working application built on demand

  - Lo-fi prototypes

  - Every team member tests

  - Co-location of Developers, Analysts and Business

This presentation will be very concrete and should include actual project artifacts which demonstrate how the team applied these best practices.

Location: ICT 122, ICT Building, University of Calgary

Time: 18:00-18:30 (warmup: juice & snacks), 18:30 - 19:30

Hope to see you all there!

Sincerely,

Kris Read
Moderator, CAMUG
