Agile is a software development methodology to build software incrementally using short iterations of 1 to 4 weeks so that the development is aligned with the changing business needs. Whereas the traditional “waterfall” approach has one discipline contribute to the project, then “throw it over the wall” to the next contributor, agile calls for collaborative cross-functional teams. Agile isn’t defined by a set of ceremonies or specific development techniques. Rather, agile is a group of methodologies that demonstrate a commitment to tight feedback cycles and continuous improvement. With Agile development methodology – In the Agile methodology, each project is broken up into several ‘Iterations’. All Iterations should be of the same time duration (between 2 to 8 weeks). At the end of each iteration a working product should be delivered. In simple terms, in the Agile approach the project will be broken up into 10 releases (assuming each iteration is set to last… Read more“Agile Methodology of Development”

Automation advantages in Agile? Why automation is needed in Agile?
Now a day’s, agile development and testing are growing broadly and smart QA/Testing team always keep themselves with current trends and technology. Automation is a critical component to maintain agility. Continuous integration/builds, unit, functional & integration test execution and automated deployment are common examples of applying automation. While working in SCRUM/XP, you’re splitting up your work into iterations and one of the conditions here is that by the end of each iteration code needs to have production-like quality and it needs to be ready to be put in production. This means that if you’re working on a project that requires 4 sprints, the second sprint needs to be built on top of the first one, the third on top of the second one and at any given time by the end of each sprint you should be ready to put your code into production. You need to continuously and repetitively… Read more“Automation advantages in Agile? Why automation is needed in Agile?”
