Re: Agile testing - it's not really happening...

Hi guys

Many thanks for your time and input. I should have said at the start, we aren't really doing Agile at all! Management's defence is "we are using the scrum methodology, and timeboxing". I think it is a given we have an ineffectual Scrum master.

My question is, is there anything I can do, within these confines?! So, can we explore

When you say you have no visibility in what Dev is doing is this because they were not sitting with you, or you with them, or that they were not brining these issues up in the daily stand-ups?



- the answer is, both. Devs never looked at anything from a test perspective. They developed with little or no information, and lots of assumptions. I could have helped them clarify things, if I'd known about them. When it comes to "sitting with them", I am geographically sat with them. So sometimes I will hear things I need to know about, and can question them if I overhear. But other than that I don't really know what's going on. I am technical enough to understand the technologies they are using and the design, but somehow this isn't going far enough.

I do set and communicate exit criteria, but their interpretation of meeting it, differs from mine. If that makes sense?
