Agile Testing

Agile testing is an iterative and collaborative approach to software testing that aligns with the principles of agile development methodologies. It emphasises continuous feedback, frequent testing, and early defect detection to deliver high-quality software within short development cycles.

In agile testing, testing activities are integrated throughout the entire software development lifecycle rather than being confined to a separate phase. Our experienced testers work closely with developers, product owners, and other stakeholders to ensure that testing is an integral part of the agile development process.

One of the key aspects of agile testing is its focus on adaptability and flexibility. Testers constantly adapt their testing strategies to accommodate changing requirements, evolving user needs, and shifting priorities. They prioritize test cases based on their business value and risk, enabling them to deliver the most critical functionality while maintaining a rapid pace of development.

What are the key components of Agile Testing?

Planning and Design

Testers collaborate with the development team and product owner to understand the user stories, requirements, and acceptance criteria. Following this, test cases are developed based on overall value and risk, and test objectives are defined.

Execution and Feedback Management

The planned test cases are run, whereby teams collaborate closely to provide immediate feedback and report any defects found. Defects are logged and triaging is then incorporated into the process so that issues are resolved in an appropriate order. Tests are executed with short iterations or sprints.

Automation and Continuous Improvement

Suitable test cases for automation are identified and frequent execution and fast feedback continues. Here, we all continuously learn, optimise, and adapt the testing approach to deliver high-quality software increments.

The first step is getting in touch

Message us at any time to tell us about your software or embedded software and one of our friendly team members will get back to you with further information.

We can set up a consultation either in person or online in order to discuss your specific requirements and for us to provide you with some initial recommendations.

Engagement and Process

After our initial consultation, you will be provided a scope of work and our formal Services Agreement.

Our scope of work will outline what testing methodologies are planned for your software (or the package you have opted for), the inclusions and exclusions, and is completely bespoke to your specific requirements.

Afterwards we will set up specified communication channels and work will begin.

Communication and Reporting

We aim to establish long-term partnerships built on the most appropriate structure to serve your requirements. Our team are seasoned communicators when it comes to testing and focus on client satisfaction, which means that you will be receiving ongoing productive feedback and suggestions.

At the end of our engagement, you will receive a formal Test Report. This report will outline any issues found within your software in a straightforward, efficient structure with only the necessary information.
