"Implementing Agile frameworks on mobile development projects QA role in agile" from Artem Bykovets

What is Agile — a methodology or philosophy? Why all that stuff like Scrum and Kanban is not working sometimes? What if the customer’s "wishlist" go constantly and he is not willing to wait even a week before the end of the sprint? Where is the space for Acceptance testing in the iterative development and do we need test documentation in Agile? - All answers on these and many other questions you can get from this slides.

7. WOULDN'T IT BE NICE? Sorry.... 1. Customers and users know what they want. 2. It can be described with words and images. 3. Engineers know how to build it in advance. 4. Nothing changes.
8. BUT WHY SO?
9. UNDERSTANDING GROWS CONSTANTLY
10. REVERSING IRON TRIANGLE
11. SCRUM IS: A framework within which people can address complex adaptive problems, while productively and creatively delivering products of the highest possible value. Scrum is: • Lightweight • Simple to understand • Difficult to master
12. EMPIRICAL PROCESS CONTROL
14. AGILE TESTING • While some teams do seem to use the “Agile” buzzword to justify simply doing whatever they want, true agile teams are all about repeatable quality as well as efficiency • Agile is iterative and incremental. This means that the testers test each increment of coding as soon as it is finished • Programmers never get ahead of the testers, because a story is not “done” until it has been tested
15. DONE OR NOT?
