Challenges of Information, Status & Speed

Lack of detailed user stories/requirements Constantly changing requirements Less time to prepare tests Re-factoring of code Asynchronously running multiple tests

Functional/ Non-functional

Real-world Examples
The Client

Leading player in online content delivery

Key Challenge

Develop a product that delivers content online while maintaining data isolation between various tenants

Integrates third party utilities and payment gateway

Geographically distributed teams working on the same product Nightly builds to test

Our Key Learning

Validation through iteration demos, POCs, Developer TDD, static code analysis, dynamic code analysis.. End-to-end automation and continuous integration helped in getting quicker and reliable delivery Pair programming and pair testing for collaboration between geographically distributed team Using open source tools to address asynchronous tests Determining current quality status through automation storyboard
