QuestionQ31

Agile Software Development

You work for a software development company that, for many years, used a sequential development model and was organized into separate departments for each functional group (e.g., business analysts, developers, testers), each located in its own office space. Your organization has recently adopted a SCRUM agile framework. Which of the following is an important organizational and behavioral best practice for a tester on the SCRUM team that should also have been practiced when using the sequential model?

Explanation

Cross-functional teamwork makes quality and testing a shared responsibility across business, development, and test roles. Involving people in the test strategy, planning, execution, and reporting breaks down functional silos and improves communication and shared understanding; this is beneficial in both sequential and Agile lifecycles. Scrum emphasizes this whole-team approach, but the collaboration practice is not limited to Scrum.
