Acceptance Testing and QA’s Role in the Agile World
The advent of agile methodologies have caused concern and confusion in many an SQA organization; are agile practices like Test Driven Development and Acceptance Testing about to drive the SQA teams and practitioners into irrelevance? To the contrary, with a little adjustment SQA actually emerges in a leading role in software development process!
This talk will show how lean/agile methodologies, by their nature, reassign SQA a leading role in software development through the practice of Acceptance Testing and Test Driven Development. We will:
- Present some motivations for agility, and
- the challenges agility presents the SQA team.
- Explain Test Driven Development, and
- define acceptance testing.
- Summarize by discussing the resulting adjusted role of the SQA.
- Discuss how to proceed from here
Target audience: Anyone involved with software development, especially SQA practitioners. The level of acquaintance with agility is not important.
