Testing (SQA)
 Testing is one of Software development’s greatest challenges
 Selecting a right testing approach is as important as selecting right
software development techniques
 SQA team members are not second-class citizens
 Testing has become as much a professional discipline as development
 Agile development techniques fully integrate testers in development team
 No complete agreement on testing practices between academia and
industry
