Overview of Agile Testing, Roles and Activities of Agile Team



An Overview of Agile Testing:
  • Agile testers work to ensure that their team delivers the quality their customer need.
  • Each agile team member is focused on delivering a high-quality product that provides business value
  • If you want to know how agile values, principles and practices applied to testing can help you, as a tester, do your best work and help your team deliver more business value
  • Working harder and longer doesn't help when your task is impossible to achieve. Agile development acknowledges the reality that we only have so many good productive hours in a day or week.
  • Agile development encourages us to solve our problems as a team (Business people, testers, programmers, analysts) - everyone involved in software development, decides together how best to improve their product.


Roles and Activites of Agile Team:

    Customer Team:
             Customer team includes Business Experts, Product Owner, Domain Experts, Product Managers, Business Analyst, Subject Matter Expert, Testers,. etc.. Everyone on the business side of a project. 

    Developer Team:
             Everyone involved with delivering code is a developer and is part of a developer team. Programmers, System Administrators, Architects, Database Administrators, Techinical writers, Security Specialities, Testers,. etc.
 
Whole - Team Approach:
             The whole-team approach, also called the team-based approach, is a style of project management in which everyone on the project team is held equally responsible for the quality and success of the project.
             A whole team approach recognizes that in order for the team to be successful, members cannot operate in isolation. Each team member must know and appreciate every other team member's strengths and skills.  Each team member must also be willing to switch roles when the need arises and remained focused on the success of the project, doing whatever is necessary whether or not it's technically "their job."
