Yesterday I gave a day-long introduction to Agile software development to a sold out class room at the SQC Ireland conference. The basic thrust of the day was to expose the attendees to all the basics of Agile with a focus on the principles of XP, a tour through the Agile game, and demonstrations of some of the tools used for acceptance testing.

The group were actually a little more experienced than was expected, which was fantastic as it gave us an opportunity to explore some of the more interesting concepts of Agile development. Particularly for me, I wanted to give a quick run down of one of the newer tools on the acceptance testing block, GreenPepper.
