Your team is likely already utilizing Agile or an Agile-like scrum methodology to some extent. However, despite such widespread adoption, many organizations are still working toward getting Agile “right” and finding the balance between fast release cycles and shipping high quality software. Agile also poses a unique set of challenges for testing. With the need to have shippable code produced at the end of every timeboxed sprint, agile development requires testing and development to be happening simultaneously. The nature of continuous improvement and iterations also means that requirements will frequently change, and your testing must be able to pivot to meet rapidly-evolving needs. Additionally, these frequent iterations mean an increased demand for regression testing within your testing program—which, when coupled with faster testing cycles, can lead to sparse test documentation. This guide is intended to provide actionable takeaways in seven key areas of agile testing that any QA manager will be able to use to improve and optimize their agile strategy. We hope the tips and insights in this guide will help you on your agile journey to release higher quality software, faster.
