ABSTRACT What is the role of QA in high-quality software development? Is this about quality assurance or quality control? QA is one of the roles that changes significantly in the transition from traditional software development to high-performance agile software development. It’s not all about QA testing or QA as gatekeepers. So what is the role of quality assurance in a modern hyper-agile continuous delivery team? Agile software development is really about moving fast and learning things, speed of feedback is of the essence, how do QA professionals fit into organisations like this, and how do they contribute most to helping to deliver high-quality software quickly and efficiently? In this episode, Dave Farley explores the role of QA in modern agile teams and explores the move in some detail from gatekeepers to quality experts and ideas like continuous testing and QA as trusted advisors.
