- pjmlp 8y agoWhich is exactly what happens in many "agile" projects, test team gets replaced by devops and unit tests. Except those unit tests get a lower priority than writing documentation. And we all know which priority writing documentation gets.
- ggregoire 8y agoNot sure what “agile” projects you are talking about, but SCRUM doesn’t advocate writing documentation. Also SCRUM has a concept of Definition of Done, which can include writing the unit/functional/integration tests related to your task. Also SCRUM recommends to have a human tests that your task is not bugged before shipping (that’s the job of the PO or the tech lead).
- pjmlp 8y agoThat is the theory, then there is the actual practice on software development battlefield.
- himynameisdom 8y agoSince when is this an excuse for not exhibiting courage to adhere to the framework? Scrum was built on experience, not theory anyways.
- pjmlp 8y agoWhat courage are you talking about? I just stated a fact about how many companies state they do agile, SCRUM or otherwise, while reality shows otherwise. For those companies, the definiton of done is management slideware. Which is exactly the main theme of Foley's talk.
- Bombthecat 8y agoWell, testers are the first to go to cut cost... Usually.. This was true ten years ago and is under agile still true..
- mixmastamyk 8y agoDoesn't help of course, but high quality cannot be tested into a product. I'd place more blame on inexperienced developers that don't know you should never delete user files unless completely sure they aren't needed. Even then they should be put in a backlog to be deleted later.
