How to use your QA Skills in a Scrum-Based Project Part III

0 Agile Testing, Manual Testing, Software Testing

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h2><span style="font-weight: normal;">Read <a href="http://proinformationtech.blogspot.com/2013/02/how-to-use-your-qa-skills-in-scrum_7684.html" target="_blank">Part-I</a> & <a href="http://proinformationtech.blogspot.com/2013/02/how-to-use-your-qa-skills-in-scrum.html" target="_blank">Part II</a> here</span></h2><h2>Test Strategy for Scrum</h2>In this section you will learn how to prepare a test strategy or  perform testing in Scrum environment. The following are a few  assumptions:<br />
<ul><li>Development Scrum consists of many sprints of 2 weeks each</li>
<li>The software is a web-based with certain data in the database. The  role of tester will include testing software in a “QA environment”,  while developers are still doing unit tests in their environment.</li>
<li>The QA Environment is closed to client staging environment. In some cases testing can be performed in Dev. environment as well.</li>
<li>The build and deployment process may take up to 30-60 minutes.</li>
<li>Build responsibility is of Dev. side but QA can also build the release in case if resources are not available.</li>
<li>There two build process <ul><li>Manual Build</li>
<li>Auto build, once per night (nightly build)</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>Using the assumptions above, I have divided a sprint into following segments from a QA perspective:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_7WjbyT_yEQR3kxy6nCNUGde76pkvaaO4OEcrYOfBEvWroWNYhyphenhyphenMHSaUUMlumxqPGCq4oMm_MFDA9colUY2sRoprm88Zz28O79oiw2OlC1gBdPBs1otTttrZ3lQ0YfewFueAk4C8yX08/s1600/Untitled.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="154" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_7WjbyT_yEQR3kxy6nCNUGde76pkvaaO4OEcrYOfBEvWroWNYhyphenhyphenMHSaUUMlumxqPGCq4oMm_MFDA9colUY2sRoprm88Zz28O79oiw2OlC1gBdPBs1otTttrZ3lQ0YfewFueAk4C8yX08/s640/Untitled.png" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<h3>Day 1: Sprint Planning Day</h3>On first day of a sprint, QA will be involved in the sprint planning  meeting. Get knowledge of all user stories which are part of sprint. Ask  questions if requirements are not clear.  The following are main points  which QA should focus on during the first day of a sprint.<br />
<ul><li>Participate in the planning meeting.</li>
<li>Analyze and clarify the requirements which are mentioned in user stories selected for the current sprint.</li>
<li>Divide the tasks for each user story.  For example: <ul><li>Test Case Preparation</li>
<li>Test Case Execution</li>
<li>Regression</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Add estimates for each divided tasks. Then add it to the final estimation of a user story.</li>
<li>Prepare the test environment (this should also be added as a task in backlog as well).</li>
<li>There may be some user stories which need more testing efforts and a  few may have no detailed testing required. So estimate the tasks  accordingly.</li>
</ul><h3>Day 2: Test Cases Development</h3>The second day of a sprint should be spent developing test cases for  all the selected user stories. Try to cover all user stories which are  in scope of the current sprint.  If all user stories coverage is not  possible, then prioritize the user stories by discussing it with the  development team. For example there are 15 user stories in the current  sprint. Discuss with developers which user stories will be developed  first. Try to cover the test cases for those user stories for which you  will receive the first build. Since we are using the Exploratory Testing  technique, during the whole sprint the test development and testing  cycle will be executed. Try to peer review your test cases with Scrum  Master or Product Owner.<br />
<h3>Day 3 – 8: Development & Testing</h3>Since development is started from Day1, there might be chances that  on day 3 QA receives a release with developed user stories. Coordinate  with the development team, and if they have developed a few user  stories, ask them to provide you the release or simply build the release  and install it on the QA environment.<br />
The following should be the daily activities of QA during this period:<br />
<ul><li>Coordinate with the development team and decide the release pattern. Daily release or when a few user stories are developed.</li>
<li>If you have not received a release , complete the test cases which were not completed in Day2</li>
<li>If any user story is updated, update your test cases accordingly</li>
<li>If the release process is automated every night, then every day QA  will pick the release, deploy the release and then start testing</li>
<li>If the release process is manual there may be three cases:</li>
<li>If some team member completed user stories he/she will provide the build to QA. QA deploys the release and starts testing.</li>
<li>If a single release which includes user stories is developed by development team, QA deploys the release and start testing.</li>
<li>If the development team members are busy in development, QA  coordinates with development team members if there are some newly  developed or updated user stories Then they build the release on QA  environment and start testing. <ul><li>When you start testing, first perform sanity test if the release is  stable. If critical issues are found, coordinate with the development  team to get fixes and perform testing.</li>
<li>Try to complete the testing tasks as much as you can because on the  last days of a sprint, there may be pressure on QA, (as many development  team members will be developing user stories) and QA will receive many  builds or a single build having vast implemented functionality.</li>
<li>Report all bugs/defects which you found during development on time so that they can be fixed on time.</li>
<li>During functional testing, also focus on bugs fixes. Follow-up the reported bugs and verify the bugs that are fixed.</li>
<li>Participate in daily Scrum meetings.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul><h3>Day 9: QA Day</h3>The ideal scenario is that on Day9, no new development should be  accomplished. Focus should be to close all issues and re-test bugs. QA  should try to close all reported issues on this day.<br />
<ul><li>Try to close all open bugs.</li>
<li>Perform regression testing.</li>
<li>Go through the sprint backlog and note down the missed user stories for the retrospective meeting day.</li>
<li>Discuss with development teams if bugs are still open.</li>
</ul><h3>Day 10: Retrospective Meeting</h3>In order to demonstrate a feature in the retrospective meeting, it  should be implemented, tested and all the bugs should either be fixed or  assigned to the Product Owner for clarification (otherwise feature is  postponed to next sprint). The tester should demonstrate that features  meet acceptance criteria and demonstrate the issues assigned to the  product owner (if any)<br />
<ul><li>Participate in retrospective meeting</li>
<li>Discuss what is tested and what is not tested</li>
<li>Explain the reason why few features are not tested</li>
