Janet Gregory and Lisa Crispin pioneered the agile testing discipline
with their previous work, Agile Testing. Now, in More Agile Testing,
they reflect on all they've learned since. They address crucial emerging
issues, share evolved agile practices, and cover key issues agile
testers have asked to learn more about.

environments, data warehouse/BI systems, and DevOps practices.
