Facilitated by Toks B.
As Agile methodologies evolve and deployment speeds accelerate, one thing remains constant: the need for quality. Without a solid testing strategy, even the most well-executed Agile projects risk failure in production. That’s why our May 2025 event, Testing and Quality in Agile: Automation, Metrics, and Best Practices, is dedicated to helping teams build robust, efficient, and scalable testing systems aligned with Agile principles.
Why Agile Testing Is Critical
Agile testing is not just about writing test cases—it’s about embedding quality into every layer of delivery. Agile teams must:
- Shift testing left into earlier phases of development
- Automate repetitive and high-risk tasks
- Measure what matters to continuously improve
- Collaborate across roles to ensure holistic quality

What You’ll Learn in This Session
1. Automation as a Cornerstone of Agile QA
- Choose the right tests to automate (unit, integration, regression)
- Leverage tools like Playwright, Cypress, or TestCafe
- Integrate automation into CI/CD workflows using GitHub Actions or Jenkins
Reference: Play Wright and Cypress.
2. Metrics That Reflect True Quality
- Track and interpret test coverage, failure rates, and defect leakage
- Use DORA metrics to monitor delivery performance
- Visualize QA trends with dashboards and heatmaps
See examples of DORA metrics at DevOps Research.
3. Best Practices for Agile Testing
- Include testers early in backlog refinement
- Define “done” with clear testing criteria
- Collaborate on exploratory testing to catch what automation misses
Insights on exploratory testing from Ministry of Testing.
