Listen "Episode 7: More Agile Myth Busting"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Testing and Management Insights, we debunk two common myths of agile testing: the belief that agile means no documentation and that testers aren't needed.
We explore the concept of shifting left and the importance of integrating quality into every step of development. We delve into the Agile Testing Quadrants and discuss the different types of tests that support the engineering team versus those that support the customer.
This episode emphasizes the importance of continual collaboration with your customer and introduces practical tools like Story Checklists for capturing easy-to-miss requirements and Mind Maps for brainstorming test scenarios and seeing the big picture. We also discuss the Power of Three rule, the balance of how much to automate, and the test automation pyramid.
