What is Agile Testing?

Agile testing is a software testing practice that follows the
principles of the overall agile manifesto.

In this, testing is not a phase. It is integrated into Development &
Testing.

QA is not the last line of defense but involved at the beginning of
the project.

Agile testing focuses on testing iteratively, as often as stable code
base is available, until quality is achieved from end customer’s
perspective.

Automation Challenges in Agile Testing

Short Iterations & Releases



Automation tools not designed for collaborative and cross
functional processes



1 week, 2 week, 4-6 week release cycles, even shorter feedback cycles
Validate new “user stories”, ensure old functionality continues to work,
communicate bugs, fix them and validate again.
Evolve through collaboration & cross functional teams is at the heart of Agile
Tackle the issue of geographically dispersed teams
Less time for documentation

Need tools/formats for documentation that cover essence of the test but are
lightweight

Then why automate?

All manual testing is “asking for trouble”. It will result in
buggy software, missed milestones, significant impact to
product brand, guaranteed!

Automation is the key

Cross functional communication:
Current Scenario
Tester: Reports a bug
Developer: Need more information
Tester: Provides more information
Developer: Unable to reproduce
Bug Council Meeting
Bugs Found: 150
Fixed: 50
Unable to reproduce: 35
Not a bug: 15
Working on it: 50

Testing Anywhere & Agile Testing
Tester: Attaches screen-shot
Developer: Oh, you mean that Ok
button, I see. What should I select in
the drop down to reproduce the bug.
Tester: Select option 2
Developer: Unable to reproduce
While all of this is going
on you are losing time
and adding to the cost

The Testing Anywhere advantage:
Collaboration & Communication

Test to Exe. Innovative solution to the problem of test portability.

Exe is a portable testing unit which can be deployed on any
machine without having to install Testing Anywhere on it.

New communication process are possible


QA finds a bug, generates Exe and gives it to development guy. Instantly dev is
able to reproduce the problem.
Run exe on partner site or customer site to re-produce a problem.

Exe can be called from any program or integrated to any system just
like a script.

No need to purchase a separate Testing Anywhere Client To run
only 2-3 tests on a machine (say an app server or a DB server).

Testing Anywhere is the only test automation product to have this
innovative feature. Once you use it, you will wonder how you did
certain things without it.
