Agile Testing in a Distributed World

Tough market situations, budget cuts, delivery schedules,
management focus, measurable quality and insufficient testing
are inevitable realities of business today. Adding to the complexity
is the need to constantly evolve with regards to technology,
growing markets, distributed systems and IT architecture. While
organizations are seeking to grow by adapting to these changes
despite the tough market situation, they are also constantly
looking for value in each penny they spend.

One of the calculated steps to help business grow fast and stay ahead in this competitive market is adoption of agile
methodologies like SCRUM, Extreme Programming (XP), Feature Driven Development (FDD), Dynamics System Development
Method (DSDM ) and others. This calls for a systematic evolution in the testing world such as adoption of lightweight processes,
automation to reduce time-to-market and proven approaches to migrate existing projects to Agile, supported by the global
delivery model.

habit of ensuring that every product we are associated with is defect-free and, therefore, of high quality. Our experience has
