Agile Testing

The trend towards an agile approach continues unabated. This trend has also left its mark on software testing. While the importance of testing in agile projects is undisputed, professionalization and the integration of individual employees in the cross-role activities of the agile approach are now coming to the fore.

The classic roles of testing are becoming blurred and merging. The testers' personal responsibility increases. For the traditional tester, this means an enrichment and enhancement of their role, as they also take on tasks and activities from other professions.

• The importance of the team
• The crux of the matter with the tools in agile
  projects
• The seven worst ideas for
  test automation
• Test methods in an agile environment
• Tester: generalist vs. specialist?

But what are the tasks of the software tester in agile projects? How should they be organized in different agile approaches - such as Scrum or Kanban? What significance do testing tools have in this context? How are the responsibilities differentiated from one another or do they interact synergistically?

This book provides possible answers to these very specific questions, which arise again and again in operational project work, supplemented by proven approaches from practice.
