Agile Testing – What Skills Are Necessary and Why?
For agile testing, the more testers know, the better. With more relevant information and knowledge, agile testers can be sensitive to potential issues and therefore be able to provide more efficient feedback on an agile project.
Although implicit, most agile testers serve to bridge the product team’s expectation and actual development work. In this sense, agile testers play a critical role, especially when they possess valuable knowledge and skills to understand developers and product owners from different points of view. But to do this requires skills that are not common to many ‘traditional’ testers. What do these ‘agile testing’ skills include?

JSAS Test Automation
More and more companies are now using Agile as their development methodology. This requires that test cases be executed, completed in a short time, and repeated very often. To reach these objectives, automated testing is a must.
There are many ways to setup your automation testing system. The purpose of this blog is not to compare andconclude which one is the best; but mainly to show an example of creating and executing JSAS test automation, one of the automation platforms that we’ve been using lately. .
First, what’s “JSAS”? More
Remote Agile Testing – Tips For Success
One of the main concepts depicted in the Agile Manifesto is close communication among team members. However, in the real world, sometimes we have to face the situation that the whole agile team is split into several sub teams that may not be in the same location or time zone. This situation usually happens with global companies or when some work is outsourced to a services provider that may be in another country. As a specialized software testing company, we often have the situation where our customer develops their software while depending on us to be responsible for the quality assurance as a remote agile testing team.
With agile development methods now becoming more popular, we have had to adapt from a waterfall situation where we wait for a software build based on fixed time periods to a‘remote agile testing’model. To do this, we must have a very good plan. But even before starting the project, we think about a few soft factors that have a significant impact on success but are often forgotten. These include: More

Number of Testers to Developers – How Many Testers Do You Need?
Why do project managers often worry about the # of testers, and the ratio of developers to testers. It follows that how much functionality there is to test is determined by Why do project managers often worry about the ratio of the number of testers to developers? It follows that how much functionality there is to test is determined by the developers and what they produce but applying a simple ratio is simply not the answer. I’ve heard that the agile development paradigm requires more developers than testers. In my opinion, this is far from the truth. More developers may create even more concerns and increase the possibility of breaking the application if agile is not implemented correctly. So, what determines the number of testers needed? Over the years, we’ve developed a methodology to gauge the testing effort required based on several factors. More
10 Ways to Reduce the Cost of Software Testing-Agile Testing
As organizations move toward agile, they find that testing is not just at the end anymore. Rather, it’s all throughout the development cycle. But then the question is, well if testing is throughout the entire cycle, will it be more expensive than just testing at the end? But this premise is faulty because testing at the end leads to problems or defects found at the end, which in turn can be very costly. Not to mention downstream costs if critical defects reach production. Given that, we’ve come up with a list of some of the ways that we work with our clients to either reduce the testing effort and/or make the testing effort more focused and productive/efficient. More

Agile Testing – Using an Agile Methodology Mindset
I’ve been doing lots of reading as well as talking to many people about the whole agile development movement and where it’s going. What I’ve discovered is that there is no agile method that is right and to be ‘agile’ requires being agile about going agile, if that makes sense. Here are a few items as food for thought that I’ve picked up in the last few weeks:
1. Agile is an interaction model; it’s about collaboration, not just sticking to the ‘plan’, but More
