In Agile environments where speed meets continuous delivery, quality can’t be an afterthought. Instead, it must be integrated into every stage of the development lifecycle. That’s where effective QA strategies come in.
Join us this April 2025 for Key QA Strategies for Agile Teams: Shift-Left Testing, Automation, and Quality Metrics, a hands-on session for Agile practitioners who want to level up their testing and quality game.
Why QA in Agile Is Evolving
Traditional QA methods focused on testing at the end of development. In Agile, that approach creates bottlenecks and missed bugs. Today’s best teams “shift left,” integrating testing early and often to:
- Reduce defects in production
- Decrease rework and delays
- Improve team collaboration
- Deliver reliable software faster
Read about the Shift-Left paradigm from TechBeacon.
What You’ll Learn in This Session
1. Shift-Left Testing in Practice
- Embed testing in the user story definition
- Pair testers with developers for early test design
- Automate acceptance criteria validation
2. Test Automation That Delivers Value
- Design automated test suites (unit, integration, regression)
- Use tools like Selenium, Cypress, and Playwright
- Prioritize automation in CI/CD pipelines
Explore Cypress.io documentation.
3. Defining Quality Metrics That Matter
- Measure test coverage, defect leakage, and escape rates
- Visualize trends with dashboards in Jira, Xray, or Zephyr
- Align metrics with business impact (not just code coverage)
Read more about QA KPIs from PractiTest.
4. Integrating QA into Agile Ceremonies
- Define the tester’s role in stand-ups, planning, and retros
- Use retrospectives to track and improve quality cycles
- Advocate for quality during backlog refinement and grooming
Who Should Attend
- QA Engineers and Testers in Agile teams
- Developers looking to improve their testing skills
- Scrum Masters and Product Owners prioritizing quality
- Agile teams building or scaling automated testing
How to Prepare for the Session
- Identify your team’s current QA bottlenecks.
- Bring examples of flaky tests or failed test coverage goals.
- Familiarize yourself with your team’s test architecture.
Benefits of Attending
- Enhance your team’s testing maturity model
- Learn tools and practices that integrate QA into your Agile lifecycle
- Get templates for test plans, defect reports, and KPI dashboards
- Walk away with real-world strategies to implement immediately
Quality isn’t a department—it’s a team responsibility. Join us for Key QA Strategies for Agile Teams: Shift-Left Testing, Automation, and Quality Metrics and build the habits that lead to reliable, scalable, and secure Agile products.
