IDEA Iterate Testing Role across entire Team HOW TO • Every 2 iterations, get a (different) developer and put him to test • Tester will continue doing (mainly) testing tasks • Depending on tester coding skills also could: • Do nothing • Write unit testing • Solve an issue • Code an small new functionality
- 4. JUSTIFICATION • In scrum, there is no pre-assigned roles: “we” attitude • Everyone is responsible for Quality • Approach same issue from different perspectives • People in team must share knowledge (problems and solutions) each other • QA tasks as important as Development ones
- 5. BENEFITS • Developer can help to “Build”/ Automate some testing parts • Developer can “hands on” with testing (in particular regression) challenges • Developer will integrate test cases in CI • Tester can review unit tests status • Team: build confident • Improve testing process and tools • Put a new “hat” from other people
