Format: experience report/Interactive talk with demonstration AbstractHow to engage open source engineers towards agile in a must deliver in time large company environment? Mixture of not tested legacy and open-source code. Product managers just graduated as product owners and team with waterfall mindset. Agile pull has come from management and we got a chance to start something better. Set up continuous integration but how to get unit tests? We have to learn stubbing and mocking. Measure code coverage and try to improve. So it got red let's disable test ... No way we are moving on! Tests and code have to be updated all the time. Include this in our definition of done. Chance to get a new agile graphical user interface test tool based on testability and object introspection. And developers have agreed to expose widget properties. Great! It uses Ruby and cucumber. What is this vegetable? Tastes good but we have Mr. Python already. So we combine the power of two! All these testing practices fit inside scrum. Unit tests are in place developers starts to learn test driven development. Cucumber is our tool in sprint planning so team and product owner can agree on behavior together. And we use the same agreement on sprint demos to show our new and great features! Session will include running unit and automated acceptance tests real time on Internet Tablet (see maemo.org). I will concentrate on how our lessons learned can be applied to put your Scrum to the right track.

Will you require attendants to have a laptop with them?

Perhaps it would help me see what you're thinking if you'd provide a rough agenda or elaborate on the session content?
