Any book recommendations on Agile Scrum QA/Testing for Drupal?

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I am looking for some resources specifically related to QA/Testing Drupal sites with Agile Scrum methodology. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Selenium

I'm not sure what you mean by testing Drupal sites with Agile Scrum methodology – whether the testing is a part of agile methods or not won't really affect the tests. (Or, quite possibly, I'm missing something rather important and an agile guru will hopefully enlighten me.)

But!

If you're looking for a way to automate testing of Drupal site functionality, I think Selenium is a good choice. Incidentally, I recently recorded a few screencasts showing how to use Selenium, found at http://nodeone.se/node/912.

Selenium is probably best if you're suite building with Drupal (plus contrib modules). If you're coding and writing new modules, then the best approach is probably to use SimpleTest, as included in Drupal 7 core.

Here's a few tips:

To get tests into a scrum/agile workflow, my best advice is to find someone who has been working with scrum/agile for a while and have him/her help you on the way. I've read a book or two on the topic, but it wasn't until someone actually was in the same room as me, forcing me to think scrum, that I started to get it. For me, at least, it is one of those cases when theory and practice can be two miles apart.

Good luck!
