A good QA is worth their weight in gold, but the reality is that the best QA often have trouble working in an Agile Environment. The shift to a quality centred approach surely must be every QA’s dream but there are underlying issues that prevent this adoption. In this session we delve into the mind of a career tester, probe the pain points & explore strategies to communicate the value of agile testing to the classically trained. We look at personalities & what drives people to want to test & the benefits that QA provide to a project beyond rubber-stamping the ‘done’ column on the task board.
