THE IMPORTANCE OF AGILE METHODOLOGIES IN SOFTWARE TESTING
These days, most of the organizations are following agile software
development processes. Still, they are struggling to deliver the software timely. The old mindset of testing the software or application after the development has been done is not successful these days. With the advent of Automation testing and Agile methodologies, testing is carried out simultaneously with the development. In this blog, we will discuss why we should consider carrying out the testing with development.
Improved Communication
Fewer Changes are Needed
Testing is a Teamwork
Testing Becomes a Combined Fragment of Development
Emphasis is on Flawless Application Development
Improved Communication In conventional software development process, the work of a tester begins after the development is over. Though, in the agile environment, they work alongside and can easily connect and communicate with each other. If the bug calls for more specification, the tester can work with the developer in communicating the excellent details and determine precisely what is required. Moreover, the daily collaboration session will help the developers in planning their test codes to minimize errors and maximize the output.
Fewer Changes are Needed During the waterfall development, testing was taken after the development, and there were communication gaps between the tester and the coder. As soon as the bug was detected, the developer was asked to fix it. This way, more time was needed to test and resolve the issue that arises in the future.
Testing is a Teamwork In traditional software development, testing is usually implemented after the development. In an agile environment, testing is teamwork and is a responsibility of the entire team as the tester works with a team of developers and can suggest changes or improvements on the move. Developers generally create unit tests to create features and use it to build applications during the development phase. The tester can write new test cases, and coordinate with the team to test new codes simultaneously. By doing this, the tester can easily detect bugs and send a response to the team.
Testing Becomes a Combined Fragment of Development As testing is done in parallel with the development, it cannot be circumvented for future consideration. At times, comprehensive testing may be evaded to meet the targets. Partially tested or untested software can affect the reputation of the business and customer loyalty.

The tester can give an instant response which helps the developer to fix the bug and correct mistakes in the development phase itself. Sometimes even one bug can uphold the entire project for months as even a single change can affect several other codes or sometimes, it may need forced changes all through the code base.
