Agile Quality Management
A major challenge in the transition to agile software development lies in understanding the role of QA and testing. The new approach calls for a radical re-think of style, timing and skill-set required for software testing – and also for a new tester type for ‘agile testing’. SQS understands the problems and complexity of agile quality management and has successfully executed a number of projects in this area.
SQS consultants understand the challenges of working in an agile development environment. They are passionate about quality, and want everyone around them to feel the same way. Their technical skills give them the credibility to integrate seamlessly into any development team, and to engage in peer-to-peer technical conversations with developers.SQS has always believed in the importance of testing early. It's a core principle that runs through our testing methodology, but takes on even greater significance in an agile testing context. Agile practices such as Test-Driven Development and Continuous Integration ensure that bugs are detected as early as possible, contributing to better quality software.
Software quality is a key factor in rapid delivery of business value. Get quality right sooner, and you'll waste less time and money on release cycles and bug-fixing. So, the higher the quality, the better the chance of delivery on time and to budget. It's plain common sense.
