STPCon 2009 in Boston

I’ll be giving a class about software configuration management for agile teams at the Software Test and Performance Conference in Cambridge, MA on Friday Oct 23. The conference is Oct 19-23, 2009.

The abstract for my talk is:

Version management, build, and release practices are essential elements of any effective development environment, especially for agile teams, which rely on feedback and maintaining high quality during rapid change. Many agile teams are puzzled about how to apply good software configuration management (SCM) practices in an agile environment. This session will provide an overview of SCM concepts and explain the patterns and practices that teams need to maintain an agile SCM environment. You’ll learn how agile testing practices and continuous integration change how teams use SCM, and how to set up the essentials of an agile SCM environment.
