9. Testing Challenges & Lessons Learned
9.1 Challenges Encountered
1. Device Availability: Limited access to specific Android device models created scheduling challenges
for device-specific testing.
This Guide is part of the Software Testing Mastery in Scrum Course
Solution: Implemented a device reservation system and augmented physical devices with
BrowserStack testing.
2. Test Data Generation: Creating realistic shopping histories for recommendation engine testing
proved difficult.
Solution: Used anonymized production data with permission from the data governance team.
3. Third-Party Integrations: Payment gateway sandbox environments experienced intermittent
availability issues.
Solution: Created mock implementations for preliminary testing and scheduled critical payment
testing during known stable periods.
4. Performance Benchmarking: Initial inconsistent performance results made trend analysis difficult.
Solution: Standardized testing protocols and environment conditions to create reliable baseline
metrics.
9.2 Lessons Learned
1. Early API Testing: Beginning API testing before UI was complete allowed us to catch integration
issues earlier and reduced end-to-end testing blockers.
2. Automated Visual Testing: Implementing visual comparison testing for UI components saved
significant manual verification time.
3. Collaborative Defect Triage: Daily joint triage meetings with development improved fix turnaround
time and reduced miscommunication.
4. Progressive Feature Testing: Testing features incrementally across sprints rather than waiting for
complete implementation improved quality and reduced end-of-cycle pressure.

  • 15. Solution: Implemented a device reservation system and augmented physical devices with BrowserStack testing. 2. Test Data Generation: Creating realistic shopping histories for recommendation engine testing proved difficult. Solution: Used anonymized production data with permission from the data governance team. 3. Third-Party Integrations: Payment gateway sandbox environments experienced intermittent availability issues. Solution: Created mock implementations for preliminary testing and scheduled critical payment testing during known stable periods. 4. Performance Benchmarking: Initial inconsistent performance results made trend analysis difficult. Solution: Standardized testing protocols and environment conditions to create reliable baseline metrics. 9.2 Lessons Learned 1. Early API Testing: Beginning API testing before UI was complete allowed us to catch integration issues earlier and reduced end-to-end testing blockers. 2. Automated Visual Testing: Implementing visual comparison testing for UI components saved significant manual verification time. 3. Collaborative Defect Triage: Daily joint triage meetings with development improved fix turnaround time and reduced miscommunication. 4. Progressive Feature Testing: Testing features incrementally across sprints rather than waiting for complete implementation improved quality and reduced end-of-cycle pressure. Show Image 10.
