Presentation: The good, the bad and the Agile – Stories of the past
In Agile Software Development, all participants must be agile and reactive to handle the different requests and to provide the best quality that we can.
– How could we develop something in the right way if we do not even know what is the expectation of the stakeholders?
– We all know that exhaustive testing is not possible, but how can we be agile as a QA?
– How does Agile work with the test plans, test strategy and other documents that should be common?
By this talk, Gergely wants to help people to understand how user stories are connected to not just to developers, but to the testers as well. Through an example user story, we will approach the problem with improper/unclear stories and see different ways to add meaning to these. When we have the clear picture, we check how it affects the test planning, efforts, and methods, how RBT is helpful and applicable in such cases.
The goal is the broaden the view: clear user stories affect our testing efforts and by gathering all the necessary inputs, we can set up a clear traceability that can speed up our work and increase the overall quality as well.
