Sammy Kolluru: Enhancing the Capabilities of Your Test Team: Preparing for Agile
summary
Practical checklist for action: testers join backlog estimation and sprint planning, pair with developers to write unit tests and use planning poker, implement continuous regression and early performance/stress tests, and run three lightweight ceremonies (daily standups, exploratory sessions, keyword‑driven automation) as experiments. Use the four‑step loop: identify challenges, select ceremonies, experiment (golden “pet project” cards), evaluate results, coach continuously, and compose teams using Belbin roles so the experiments actually reveal what works.
