Agile Testing

    Agile Test Strategy Big picture (ten words or less to speak to what this is that we are testing) Drive behavior and set testing boundaries Outline automation approach (typically executed after end-to-end testing) Test data management (need to have clean data or will any data do?) Test data should be re-usable and accessible in non-production environments Collaborate with your data Team and Engineering Team Defect management UAT bug definition as agreed on by Product QA bug Create a ‘Bug’ and link to the story that the bug has been found in Communicate to the Product owner for priority and assignment   When a bug is blocking a ticket, send an email to all stake holder stating so Bugs ought to be resolved in the same sprint or carried over into the next sprint with the relative ticket  If the bug is NOT resolved and the ticket needs to move to Production then we will put it in the backlog and label with #techdebt Large risks to our product quality Our mindset is on...
