Top 10 Challenges of a Tester Working in Agile Team
Sprint becomes a mini-waterfall and testers are involved late in the sprint Lack of focused testing as for many other things testers time is required like prepare stories for future sprints, keep an eye on broken build on CI, work with product owner for demo, help developers with test data, environment setup etc. Complexity of test environment especially when quick fix need to be tested before deploying to the production Need to learn on continuous basis especially new tools & technologies Due to frequent requirement changes, ensuring full test coverage is not straight forward Support of testing for daily or semi builds Lack of documentation Code accidently broken due to frequent builds, which results loss in testing time Support testing for the last minute changes especially with the deadline approaching Test team gets squeezed due to over commitment and sprint durations
