• Team sits close to the work
• Short cycles

5. Excercise Trust

6. Scrum Framework
• To be filled in later

7. Transparancy resources
• Product backlog
• Definition of done
• Definition of ready
• Definition of shippable
• Sprint backlog
• Daily stand-ups
• Burndown charts
• Taskboards
• Sprint review
• Testing in control?!

8. Test Documentation
• Mastertestplan
• Testplan
• Progress, risk and end report
• Report detail intake
• Testspecification
• Finding report
• Evaluation report
sprint 1

9. Balancing test documentation
What is enough?
The answer is context dependent, but always ask
2 questions:
• Why: Is this documentation valuable for the
business?
• For whom: Is the team better off with this
documentation?
What is not documented,
must be communicated!

10. Balancing PRA/test strategy
• Productriskanalysis (PRA)
– Joint view of the more or less risky parts and characteristics of a
system
– No risk, no test
• High-level Teststrategy
• When?
– Sprint 0
– More detailed with increasing knowledge
