More Agile Testing – coming in 2014

The follow-up book to *Agile Testing: A Practical Guide for Testers and, with the working title – *More Agile Testing, Janet Gregory, Lisa Crispin, and their fellow agile testing practitioners around the world have learned as their teams take agile testing to the next level. As in their first book, Lisa and Janet share real world examples to illustrate more advanced concepts and techniques.
