Agile is all the rage these days ( as it should be!) and we are always hearing about it in the context of “Development.” But what about the QA team? Let’s take a look at Agile from a different point of view, and see how Agile and Quality Assurance really fit together.
We will explore some of the common ways companies try to force-fit old QA ways into Agile, and how we can overcome these and define patterns of success. We will examine patterns and anti-patterns as ways to improve our understanding and perceptions of QA. Agile QA is not just about Agile “testing,” but about a holistic and realistic approach that involves the whole team. Everyone is responsible for quality.
