In the traditional waterfall methodology of software development, the process starts with detailed requirement gathering, and moves from design phase to final development, wherein test planning and execution comes in the last phase. The testing team verifies the requirement and design documents while performing the functional and non-functional testing. Generally, during the last stage of software development, the client expects the final build just after the test cycle is completed and any requirement mismatch or bug in the product can create complications and delays. In order to mitigate and overcome these challenges, project managers are moving towards the Agile process.<\/p>\n
The Agile development processes focus on continuous improvements and flexibility with shorter development cycles. Agile methodology is adopted in the projects wherein the requirements and solutions are in evolution stage and need a collaborative effort within the team to develop the solution. Agile development not only impacts the testing processes, but also the teams involved in the project. The traditional testing methods are no longer feasible and have to be blended with Agile methodology.<\/p>\n
This requires traditional QA testing<\/a> teams to be restructured and revived to survive the Agile transformation. The teams must adopt certain basic steps to evolve into Agile QA teams.<\/p>\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n Cigniti has been a trusted testing partner for many organizations in various stages of adopting Agile. We have helped organizations new to Agile build in QA planning, estimation, metrics into their sprints. In case of more mature organizations, we have seamlessly integrated with their sprint teams to improve test coverage, velocity, and quality. Our frameworks for continuous test automation and performance testing<\/a> have been leveraged by multiple organizations to improve their Quality Assurance and Testing practices.<\/p>\n Cigniti has successfully supported variants of Agile, be it Scrum, ATDD, BDD etc. With larger organizations, we have helped scale Agile using frameworks like SAFe, SoS etc. While Agile works best with a collocated model, we have also leveraged our Distributed Agile Testing Framework to support a global delivery model.<\/p>\n While Cigniti\u2019s approach takes care of \u201cquality and timeliness\u201d, governance and communication are also primary concerns of clients adopting agile methodology. To overcome this, Cigniti has built a lean governance model that provides \u201cright-level of information to right-stakeholders at the right time\u201d. Cigniti has institutionalized metrics and measurement framework to track and monitor sprint velocity, burn rate, backlogs, sprint retro trends et al that provides performance visibility and confidence to all stakeholders (Dev, BAs, QA, Infra and Exec Team) for release readiness.<\/p>\n Consult our experienced team of career testers for your Testing requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the traditional waterfall methodology of software development, the process starts with detailed requirement gathering, and moves from design phase to final development, wherein test planning and execution comes in the last phase.
