Mark Levison

Continuous Improvement and Short Feedback loops (think: Test Driven Development; Sprint Demo/Review; …) are at the core of any Agile process.

Testing in Agile Part 5: TOOLS

November 01, 2010   admin   No comments

Michael Hackett, Senior Vice President, LogiGear Corporation

To begin this article, it would be a good idea to, remember this key point:

Agile Manifesto Value #1
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

Tools work at the service of people. People, particularly intelligent people, can never be slaves to tools. People talking to each other, working together and solving problems is much more important than following a process or conforming to a tool. This also means someone who tells you a tool will solve your Agile problems knows nothing about Agile. A disaster for software development over the past decade has been companies investing gobs of money into “project management tools” or “test management tools” to replace, in some cases, successful practices of software development, in favor of the process the tool or tool vendor told that company was “best practice”. That made certain tool vendors rich and many software development teams unhappy.

If your team wants to be Agile, and work in line with the value outlined above, I have a couple of rules to remember when it comes to tools and Agile.
