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

Reduce the Time Spent on Testing – Testing Strategies
Reducing time on testing is all about effectiveness, not only for the testing process, but the entire development process. The further upstream that defects are found and eliminated, that means less defects found in testing or less defects to be found in testing. Therefore, by deduction, less time spent in testing.
In terms of finding defects further upstream, most organizations don’t think of the term ‘defects’ until there is a final product to find fault in, but the term defect can be used for any mistake in the process that would lead to a defect in the end product. This means More
