Fundamental Agile Testing Principles, Practices, and Processes

Based on the skills needed by testers on Agile teams, which of the following activities would be least likely to be performed by testers in Agile projects?

  • A Tracking the failures of the unit tests that are written when using the Test-Driven Development practice
  • B Identifying and updating test cases from previous iterations that are affected by the changes made in the current iteration
  • C Actively participating in specification workshops aimed at clarifying user stories through examples that will be transformed into tests
  • D Working collaboratively with a developer to develop and test a feature
Explanation

Agile testers help make user stories testable, collaborate closely with developers, and update manual and automated regression tests when changes affect features from earlier iterations. Developers ordinarily own the unit tests they create through Test-Driven Development and investigate their failures; therefore, tracking failures of those developer-written unit tests is least likely to be a tester activity.
