This webinar covers the essentials of agile testing, focusing on strategies that go beyond traditional testing phases. Agile testing is presented as a continuous activity integrated into every phase of the development lifecycle, from requirement gathering to post-deployment monitoring. This approach contrasts with the idea of testing as a single stage following code development, emphasizing the importance of testing assumptions, planning test cases during design, and ensuring testability during development.
Key agile testing practices include "shift-left" strategies, such as early testing and risk identification, and "shift-right" practices, like monitoring user behavior and conducting tests in production. The importance of cross-functional collaboration is highlighted, advocating for T-shaped skill sets where team members possess broad, cross-discipline knowledge.
The webinar also stresses the role of agile testers as quality advocates who work proactively to prevent bugs rather than solely finding them. Using tools like TestRail, teams can implement agile testing techniques such as behavior-driven development (BDD) and acceptance test-driven development (ATDD). Additionally, testers are encouraged to engage in knowledge sharing, which fosters a quality-focused mindset across the team.
This webinar promotes a quality-driven approach, combining automated testing, continuous feedback, and a team-centered responsibility for quality. By investing in preventative measures and communication, teams can improve agility and product quality, creating a more efficient development process.
