AGILE is a methodology that promotes continuous iteration of development and testing throughout the software development life cycle of the project. In agile method both the software development and software testing activities are done incrementally and iteratively, building up each feature until it provides enough value to release to production.

1. HOW TO
Be A Good Agile Tester?

2. What is Agile Model?
■ A group of Software Development Methodologies
■ Promotes continuous iteration in a SDLC
■ Incremental and iterative testing and development
■ Adds value to the product release as well as production

3. AgileTestingApproach
■ QualityAssistance over QualityAssurance
■ ContinuousTesting over testing it at the end
■ Team Responsibility over tester’s or developer’s responsibility
■ Automated Assessment over RegressionTesting
■ Short Feedback Loop over Delayed Feedback
■ Preventing Defects over Detecting Defects

4. Advantages of Agile
■ Customer satisfaction ---Continuous Delivery
■ Less communication gap due to maximum team interaction
■ Close discussions between stakeholders and team (testers, developers, etc.)
■ Attention to detail --- QA
■ Flexible towards money and minute constraints

5. Tester’s Role in AgileTesting
■ Performs iterative testing
■ Analyses business requirements and expectations
■ Cross-sectional and interactive testing with developers
■ InfluencesTesters to include testability in their coding practices
■ The collaboration help them predicting future improvements

6. Qualities of a Pro AgileTester
■ Pre-Iteration
Early verification of requirements to ensure quality later
■ Short Feedback Loop
Finds a bug and reports it to the developer quickly
■ Always Active & Alert
Influential, innovative, estimates, and suggests better enhancements for QA
■ CI/CD
Runs test cycles on the addition of every new build and entity and reports a bug if necessary
■ Executes Automation
Responds with previously built automated scripts to cope with any change
■ Parallel IndependentTesting
Takes ownership of the most difficult trusting parts of the SDLC apart from its team
■ LifecycleTesting
Validation of the product at the end of software development lifecycle to assure secure production.
