Meeting Topic: 
Automated Testing An Experience Report and How to Get Started in Your Organization
 
Meeting Description:
Ever wondered how to begin automation on an Agile team?  Looking for a process to automate existing or new tests?   

Few things slow down a team more than technical debt and a large manual testing process.  In fact most organizations define how fast they can deliver value to their customers by how frequently they can run their manual regression testing.  This becomes even more critical when your team is working with other teams across an enterprise and you aren't leveraging automated testing.  At some point your code base will become so burdensome to maintain and test that the significant portion of the organization efforts and money will be focused on supporting existing code vs. delivering new value to its customers.

If this sound familiar to you, do yourself a favor and grab some teammates and come to this month's AglieKC meeting.  Tina Lockwood and Aimee DeWitt of Cerner will share their experiences, lessons learned and best practices with leveraging automated testing at scale.  

Automated testing is too important to neglect, yet because most organizations don't know how to start, they continue to suffer.  This session may be the catalyst your organization needs!
