The challenges of testers & developers working together in a cross-functional Agile team
One of the significant changes while moving to Agile teams is that testers and developers are now part of the same team.
This change introduces great advantages, as well as some challenges.
The immediate impact is that the testers participate in the Scrum ceremonies and get a better exposure to the product under development, its status, and its fragility. They can therefore detect better potential areas for defect finding, gain better sync for when they’ll get a drop for testing, and can better utilize their plans.
