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
