• Post-development testing phases were expected to
boost quality after code was complete. We had the
illusion of control

• Traditional teams are focused on making sure all the
specified requirements are delivered in the final
product. If everything isn’t ready by the original target
release date, the release is usually postponed.

Requirements to
documentation?
Software testers: how to survive in Agile Environment
We need to consider what and how much documentation
should we be doing.
1) Documentation should serve the needs of the team, the
project and the customer (both the end customer and the
organisation) - anything else is a waste of effort.
2) We value living documentation over archival
documentation.
Key factors are: visible, living not archival, accessible and useful.
