Agile Testing Methodologies
Agile
methodology is the latest SDLC model that has evolved several development framework such as Scale agile,
Scrum , Extreme Programming(XP), Feature Driven development etc. Agile is
nothing but the term used to unite the self organized teams with principles of
transparency, simplicity, flexibility, collaborative and responsiveness to
deliver the customer expected modules incrementally. Entire development cycles
will happen in the sense of review and adapting through each cycle in sense of
product features and process.
Agile Manifesto:
· Individuals and Interactions over using
the tools and process which makes process overhead.
·
Customer satisfaction over contract
negotiation and deal conversion. Focus on delivering the modules incrementally
that satisfies the customer. Automatically that converts the deals instead
focusing directly on preparing documents to make deals
·
Working software should be delivered
during end of every short fixed release cycles(Sprint or increment) over going
with detailed document.
·
Application should be always respond to
change rather than going with static way of development like traditional models
like waterfall, prototype model etc.
Continuous Integration and delivery of the
qualitative product is the prime goal of the Agile methodology.
Agile testing is nothing that it focus mainly on
individual interactions or short meetings rather doing of documents like qa
checklist, detailed test cases etc. developers and testers will sync in frequent intervals. Testing here
is not only focus on identifying the bugs in the product features or
functionalities. It needs tester help in grooming the product features that
make value to the business. So participation of interaction with product owner
will help is better qualitative product. Test activities are listed below that
will help in the product improvements.
