Testing In Agile Doesn’t Have To Be Complicated

Agile Development Requires Agile Testing

Agile Development methodologies have become widely used and accepted as industry standards across the world. The flexibility to grow and adapt software development organizations is one of the most attractive features of Agile Development. The price paid for this flexibility is buggy software. While most agile development teams are able to produce features at a higher rate than traditional development teams, they also deliver more defects than a traditional development team. A software quality test is needed.

Agile Software Testing Services

Agile testing involves testing from the customer perspective as early as possible, testing early and often as code becomes available and stable enough from module/unit level testing. Since working increments of the software are released often in agile software development, there is also a need to test often. Taking an agile software testing approach is key.

Why Have an Agile Testing Methodology?

Early in the lifecycle teams don’t realize the severity of existing defects, and do not put a large effort into finding them.
When Critical Mass is reached, customers begin using the product in unexpected ways.
As product development becomes steady, the effort necessary to find the defects is not constant throughout the release cycle, and a steady team of Test Engineers is too much for some stages and not enough for other stages.
When the product matures, automation test scripts that have been relied on in the past no longer provide sufficient coverage, and cannot find all of the defects.

On Demand testing solves these problems, it keeps product quality in step with your engineering team. TESTCo's QA testing will make this happen.
