Testing Levels

Agile Testing covers the following test levels:

• Unit Testing
• Integration Testing
• System Testing
• User Acceptance Testing

Unit Testing

• Firstly, done along with Coding, by Developer
• Secondly, assisted by Tester who writes Test Cases
• Unit Test Cases and Unit Testing results need review
• Further, pending major defects (as per priority and severity) are not check out
• Lastly, all Unit Tests are mechanical

Integration Testing

• Run along with Continuous Integration as the Sprints progress
• Moreover, run at the end after all the Sprints
• All Functional Requirements require testing
• In addition, every Interface between Units are put on trial
• Tests are electronic where possible

System Testing

• Firstly, done as the Development progresses
• After that, testing is run in Production Environment
• Executing Quality Tests (Performance, Reliability, etc.)
• Tests are mechanical where possible

User Acceptance Testing

• Done at the end of each Sprint and at the end of the project
• Done by the Customer. Feedback is the Team’s responsibility
• Feedback will be an input to following Sprints
• Above all, user Stories in a Sprint are pre-verified to be testable and are with defined Acceptance Criteria
