Learning Tree International (NASDAQ: LTRE) has announced the introduction of a new course entitled Agile Testing Strategies. This course is for software developers, testers and others who want to improve their knowledge of Agile principles and want to become proficient users of Agile testing techniques.

“Many organizations embracing Agile face the challenge of balancing accelerated production time with product quality. This has changed the role of quality assurance and created difficulties in implementing cost-efficient testing activities. This course offers experience in applying a professional Agile testing framework that improves product quality, while realizing the significant benefits of Agile,” said Jennifer Urick, Vice President of Product Development for Learning Tree International.

Participants will perform a series of software testing simulations and hands-on exercises, including:

• Demonstrating business value through Story Test-Driven Development (STDD)
• Implementing Test-Driven Development (TDD) for product integrity
• Verifying user experience with usability and persona testing
• Orchestrating test activities through all project iterations

Learning Tree will begin presenting Agile Testing Strategies at its education centers in July 2012. The current schedule includes the following:
