Agile Testing Question:

When attending an Agile Testing Interview, questions can be asked to find out what you really understand from an Agile Tester or Agile QA role and how you will fit with the rest of the team.

A: Some good characteristics of an Agile Tester are

☛ Good communicator – In agile teams, there is increased level of communication with the Devs, QAs and BAs
☛ Priorities change frequently in agile projects, so the Agile QA should be able to prioritize the tasks accordingly
☛ Should not be afraid of change
☛ Ideally Agile Testers should be multi-skilled and technical or at least understand the technical terminology so that they don’t feel alienated from the rest of the team when developers talk in technical terms
☛ Should understand Agile concepts and principles
☛ Participate in daily sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives. Note the word Participate, meaning to actually talk and take part in discussions rather than just attending the meetings
