Agile Mindset

No QA? All QA!

One of the major topics that intimidate test engineers is the No-QA question or approach (depending on your view of it).

I heard such responses after the session “Fiverr delivering fast..No QA”, by Gil Wasserman, Fiverr VP R&D, at our Agile Israel 2016 event. QA members asked me if they should look for their next role, and I keep hearing this concern whenever this topic arises.

So, is it true? Should we eliminate the QA role? Or better say – merge it into the developer’s role?

How To Keep Development Scope From Growing Wild

A big problem with a garden is that it doesn’t stop growing. And so does the scope of a software development project.

The Critical Difference Between Backlog and To Do (Kanban, Scrum)

When we build a kanban board to manage our work (either practicing Kanban or Scrum) we usually create a Backlog list (usually the first column) and a To Do list (following the Backlog). I’ve noticed that many times the separation between the two is artificial and people don’t always understand the critical difference between the two. I’d like to discuss it here.

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.
