THE AGILE WAY: a Complete Guide to Understanding Agile Testing Methodologies The Agile way | 0 THE AGILE WAY: A complete guide to understanding Agile testing methodologies Tricentis www.tricentis.com The Agile way | 1 Navigating an agile world The testing world has undergone a significant Agile transformation over the last decade. According to VersionOne’s 13th annual State of Agile survey, 97% of respondents report their organizations practice Agile development, and nearly half of respondents say that 50% or more of their organization’s teams are Agile. Compare that to 10 years ago, when most organizations only had a few Agile projects, and it’s clear the practice has ramped up significantly. But transformation is still in flight: In this year’s survey, most respondents (78%) said not all of their company’s teams have adopted Agile practices. A vast majority (83%) said their organizations were below a high level of competency with Agile practices. Further complicating the transition is the increasing importance of DevOps implementation, with most organizations reporting they now have a DevOps initiative either planned or underway. As more and more companies embark on Agile and DevOps transformations, there is an increasing need for the two to be connected to help organizations move forward, transform the culture between development and operations, and address delivery speed challenges. It’s clear that continuous integration and delivery, paired with increasing test automation, can transform culture and accelerate delivery, but many organizations struggle to understand where to start, or how to scale. That means that testing teams face a tremendous opportunity to catalyze the transition by adopting modern testing practices that support Agile and DevOps. They also face a tremendous challenge: to ensure high quality amid accelerated release timelines, and to convince leadership to invest in testing, which is often the last priority in an Agile transformation. But in order to be successful, testers must be enabled to work more collaboratively with the larger development team. In order to survive and thrive in this new testing world, it’s critical to have a comprehensive understanding of what agile testing really means and the different methodologies that are part of Agile development. That’s not an easy job. Agile is constantly evolving. Agile encompasses a wide range of methodologies, from SAFe to Scrum to BDD, TDD, ATDD, Kanban, and many more. For even the most mature Agile teams, it’s hard to keep up. We developed this ebook to help testers, QA leaders, heads of DevOps, CTOs — and anyone else who manages application development and testing, or is interested in accelerating their organization’s transformation — better understand what’s required to succeed in the complex world of Agile development and testing. The Agile Method promotes adaptive planning, early delivery and continuous improvement, and encourages rapid and flexible response to change. It’s quickly become the gold standard for software development. And as the Agile world has heated up, so has the pressure on testers to produce timely releases without sacrificing quality.

In this guide, you’ll learn: ✓ What Agile testing is and why it’s critical to the success of any agile or DevOps transformation ✓ The different types of Agile testing methodologies and how to choose which ones are right for your organization ✓ Our predictions on where the Agile & DevOps movement is headed and what you need to know to stay ahead What is Agile testing? It’s a collaborative, flexible and adaptive approach that requires early participation from testers to deliver working code faster. In Agile environments, testing has to be integrated throughout the entire lifecycle, beginning at the requirements phase. With the fast pace of Agile, there is rarely time to test everything so requirements must be prioritized, test cases must be written earlier, and test automation must be deployed and scaled where possible. Adaptability is key, as features and requirements can change significantly from sprint to sprint. Exploratory testing can be used to quickly dive deep into a new requirement or feature and assess its Tricentis www.tricentis.com The Agile way | 3 quality, providing the development team with rapid feedback — and the goal is not documentation, but to create code that actually works. This adaptability is why an Agile team needs broader, cross-functional skill sets, compared to a traditional manual tester. Testing needs to be collaborative, where communication is regular and fluid, and developers and testers work together to define how the approach to testing will move forward. During Agile testing, it’s helpful to keep the four central tenets of the Agile Manifesto in mind to help guide the decision-making process: 02 01 — — Customer Individuals and collaboration over interactions over contract negotiation processes and tools 02 04 — — Responding to Working software change over over comprehensive following a plan documentation Tricentis www.tricentis.com v The Agile way | 4 Scrum Best Practices Scrum is one of the most popular Agile development methodologies and ✓ A user story is received from a one of the easiest transitions from the waterfall approach, since it’s product owner, based on typically requirements-driven like waterfall but involves shorter iterations feedback from users or the with higher degrees of collaboration. business, and converted into acceptance criteria to minimize potential miscommunication.

Plus, teams are better able to hit the moving targets of evolving customer demands in a complex marketplace, thanks to the flexibility scrum brings. Overall, scrum is much more collaborative and iterative than waterfall, which typically requires many cycles of testing and bug fixing before a Key Team Members product can be released. Product Owner Waterfall vs. Scrum Scrum relies on more frequent touchpoints between developers, Project Manager testers, product owners, and the business to make sure any changes are properly communicated. Developers Scrum demands regular touch points across the scrum team, such as daily stand-ups and sprint retrospectives, to keep activities aligned, Automation Engineers and remove obstacles. Strong project management is a key requirement in scrum, and the Testers role of the Scrum Master is to constantly refine the schedule and direction and keep the team on track.

Product Owner Waterfall vs. Kanban Kanban requires planning on a feature level, meaning that team Project Manager members must be ready to perform their duty at any given time (i.e. plan tests in the morning, write them at lunch, run them in the Developers afternoon).

What he meant was that we or some of us – computer scientists – at some point like to try things that are not that “legal”. The most of us are “clean”, but some of us are “free time hackers”! Nowadays the hackers are almost away from the 17 years old guy, trying to pen- etrate in some website and so on. They are now adults, with families, cars, pets, holidays and a job. They are professionals earning money for acting as such. Application Security is not only important and essential for the companies and their businesses, technology and employees. Application Security is a macroeco- nomic aspect for the countries. There are a lot of secret services or governments agencies working on getting technology or information by advance hacking the server and databases of top companies or governments worldwide.

  • Testing in a Devops Era: Perceptions of Testers in Norwegian Organisations
    Testing in a DevOps Era: Perceptions of Testers in Norwegian Organisations Daniela Soares Cruzes1, Kristin Melsnes2, Sabrina Marczak3 1 SINTEF - Norway 2 Bouvet – Norway 3 PUCRS - Brazil [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. To better understand the challenges encountered by testers in DevOps development, we have performed an empirical investigation of what are the trends and challenges for the testers in the DevOps environ- ment. We have discussed the quality assurance in the difference focus areas of DevOps: Social Aspects, automation, leanness, sharing, measurement. The results were then themed in five different topics of concern to testers: collaboration, roles and responsibilities, types of tests, automation and monitoring and infrastructure. In Testing, there has been a change on the roles and responsibilities of testers, where there is much more focus on the responsibilities for testing across the teams, instead of a sole responsibility of the tester. Testers are also forced to collaborate more with other stake- holders as operations and business. Testing is brought to another level of automation in DevOps but there is still need for manual tests, that have to be much more risk-based than before. And finally, testing transparency is a must in this process and should involve not only development team but also operations and customers. This paper contributes to the body of knowledge on what are the areas we need to focus for improvement in test- ing for the DevOps environment. This paper also contributes to practition- ers to improve their testing focusing on specific areas that needs attention.

Mahammad Shafi Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, India Abstract- More and more companies are adopting Agile methods as a flexible way to introduce new software products. An important part of any software project is testing. Agile testing may have similar aims as traditional software testing, but the structure of the team is different, testers need to support quality infusion through entire team. Test automation and selection of test tool can help project teams deliver more effectively, and in shorter timescales. The challenges in testing of cloud are visible also in the tools for automatic test case execution. This paper addresses some of these challenges and also highlights every aspect of software testing process in Agile development. Keywords: agile methods, unit testing, cloud testing.
