Agile Testing Challenges

The following challenges exist in Agile testing

• Firstly, business and management failure to understand the Agile approach and its limitations lead to unattainable expectations.
• Secondly, agile follows the whole-Team approach, but everyone is not aware of everything. Therefore, it is important to coach others.
• Test First Approach requires Developers to base the coding on Tester Feedback, but in real scenarios, Developers are more accustomed to base the coding on the Requirements coming from Customer or Business.
• Accountability for the Quality Product is with the entire Agile Team, but in initial stages, the Developers may not Focus on Quality as they are more into the implementation mode.
• Continuous Integration calls for Regression Testing that requires considerable effort, even if it has to be automated.
• Testers can be adaptable to changes with the Agile mindset, but accommodating the resulting Test Changes and Testing can be impracticable to target to finish during the Sprint.
• Early Automation is advised to minimize Manual Testing Effort and Time. However, in the real scenario, arriving at the Tests to automate require Time and Effort.
