Agenda  Challenges in Agile testing  “Must’s” of Agile testing  Testing as a team  Path to Agile testing  Going the path  Measuring traveled distance

Challenges C1Fast feedback C2No documentation C3Old practices are inefficient C4Sprint start/end problems C5Agile way of quality C6No metrics C7Lots of regression

Exploratory testing 13 Scripted testingAd hoc testingExploratory testing

14 Step 1Plan testing activities Step 2Execute tests Step 3 React and adapt Make regression test cases

The Must’s 15 M1Automate regression M2Use traditional practices if needed M3Exploratory testing – main way of manual testing M4Test as a team M5Risk / priority based testing M6Code review / pair programming M7Continuous integration

Being agile – being part of the team 16 DeveloperTesterTeam

Agile tester 17 R1Plan / take metrics in the beginning of sprint R2Learn from / help with unit tests R3Execute manual testing and regression R4Make regression test cases R5Drive testing process R6Constantly gather information R7Maintain test cases R8Execute pair testing / pair programming

Agile programmer developer 18 R1Create unit tests R2Automate regression tests R3Execute manual regression R4Code review / pair programming

Scrum master 19 R1Use influence to get regression automation R2Provide balance

Product owner 20 R1Review regression test cases R2Provide information about priorities / risks

Path to Agile testing 21 S1Empower people S2Automate regression S3Start practicing traditional practices S4Start practicing exploratory testing S5Start reading unit tests. Pair programming / pair testing S6Optimize. Be Agile

Going the path 22 Each team at own phase Learning from leaders Common process and tools Testers knowledge sharing Measure and adopt
