Agile Test Plan
An agile test plan includes types of testing done in that iteration like test data requirements, test environments, and test results. In agile testing, a test plan is written and updated for every release. The test plan includes the following:
- Test Scope.
- Testing instruments.
- Data and settings are to be used for the test.
- Approaches and strategies used to test.
- Skills required to test.
- New functionalities are being tested.
- Levels or Types of testing based on the complexity of the features.
- Resourcing.
- Deliverables and Milestones.
- Infrastructure Consideration.
- Load or Performance Testing.
- Mitigation or Risks Plan.
Agile Software Testing
Agile Testing is a type of software testing that follows the principles of agile software development to test the software application. All members of the project team along with the special experts and testers are involved in agile testing. Agile testing is not a separate phase and it is carried out with all the development phases i.e. requirements, design and coding, and test case generation. Agile testing takes place simultaneously throughout the Development Life Cycle. Agile testers participate in the entire development life cycle along with development team members and the testers help in building the software according to the customer requirements and with better design and thus code becomes possible. The agile testing team works as a single team towards the single objective of achieving quality. Agile Testing has shorter time frames called iterations or loops. This methodology is also called the delivery-driven approach because it provides a better prediction on the workable products in less duration time.
- Agile testing is an informal process that is specified as a dynamic type of testing.
- It is performed regularly throughout every iteration of the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
- Customer satisfaction is the primary concern for agile test engineers at some stage in the agile testing process.
