SoftO2
Integrating Testing in Agile Projects
INDUSTRY: INSURANCE
»   The Client's Need     Our client is the world's premier insurance brokerage, consulting services and consumer insurance underwriting organization. The IT group builds integrated solutions to link human resources or people strategies with business strategies.
SoftO2's task in this project was to set up software testing in an Agile software development environment.
»   What SoftO2 Provided     Our approach was to involve - besides the QA team - the product owner, Scrum Master, business analysts and developers in building an effective environment with best practices and sprints that allow for smooth incorporation of software testing. Along with new practices, SoftO2 trained the QA team on the key agile concepts relevant for testing, agile test planning, close collaboration with developers, and on exploratory testing techniques.
»   The Result     The result of our work was a shift in the IT team's perception and participation in building quality with fewer cycles. The QA team mastered the skills to strategize and drive effective testing activities in the Sprint planning meetings and during the iterations, and this with active involvement of colleagues within their respective cross-functional teams.
