Agile Quality Assurance

“How can testing professionals engage effectively during a sprint before anything has been built?”

QA team members spend the majority of their time at the genesis of stories, learning about what the work is, the scope and how it fits with the product built to date.

The best QAs I’ve worked with have been able to inspire the whole team to care about quality.

There are three hats QA wears which determine the type of helpful roles played in the agile software development. These include quality analyst to know the right things, quality assurer to build quality in, and quality ambassador to indicate if the whole agile team cares (Wilsenach, 2015).
