Test Strategies in Agile Projects
Anders Claesson
Enea Software
Agile development methods are becoming more and more common in our projects. The objective is to achieve higher quality and shorter lead times with minimal overhead. A well defined agile test strategy guides you through the common obstacles with a clear view of how to evaluate the system. Testing starts with the exploration of the requirements and what the customer really wants. By elaborating on the User Stories from different perspectives, both efficient and effective test ideas can be created.
