Agile Software Testing

Agile software testing generally means the practice of testing software for bugs or performance issues within the context of an agile workflow. That is a group of software development methodologies based on iterative incremental development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organising, cross-functional teams. Our agile software testers can work with your team remotely or locally, by providing agile software testing in the Netherlands.

Test automation can very well be applied to cover testing a multitude of locales for eCommerce as well as brands. It can also be applied to cover short release periods for enterprise-size applications.

“Agile is the creation of a product delivery team with a unified vision of delivering production-worthy code the ‘first’ time by integrating developer thinking and tester thinking throughout the code writing process.” – Software testing expert, Scott Barber

Dynamically Collaborative Agile Approach

In the agile software testing approach, developers and testers are seen as two sides of the same production coin, two parallel lines that should always meet and compare notes daily. Agile in software testing requires a depth of continuous collaboration between stakeholders—including managers, developers, testers, and customers—throughout the production process that isn’t found in a traditional waterfall workflow.

Quality ‘Baked In’

Testing becomes an essential component of each and every phase of the developmental process, with quality being “baked in” to a product at every stage of its development through constant feedback from everyone holding a vision of the final product.

Wear Different Hats

Developers are encouraged to think more like software testers, continually checking their own code for potential errors, and software testers are encouraged to think more like developers, tempering their naturally destructive tendencies to engage more fully in the creative process itself.

Agile Manifesto

The agile principles were first outlined in a 68-word document called the Agile Manifesto. We are uncovering better ways of developing software and testing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work, we have come to value:

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan

While there is value in the items on the right, we place value the items on the left more.

Delivery Methods

We can provide our agile software testing services for your website or application via several delivery methods. Find out more by clicking each ‘More Info’ button. If you find these all confusing get in touch with us at info@spritecloud.com or via our contact page so we can help you figure out the best solution.

Remote Testing

Our software testers are very experienced at testing client applications remotely. The COVID-19 virus has forced a lot of organisation to work remotely but fortunately, our testers already have the skills to help remote teams. spriteCloud has been providing testing both remotely and on-site for over ten years. All of our software testing services can be executed remotely.

Ad Hoc Testing

Projects are fixed scope engagements of a predetermined time frame. In other words, we test only what you ask for. Projects can be delivered locally at your office alongside your team or carried out in a remote testing format from our offices in Amsterdam or Kiev.

Contracting

Contracting is a method of engagement where a tester is contracted to join your organisation to deliver the required testing on a (near-)full-time basis. Contract-based work is typically delivered locally but can also be delivered remotely.

Software Testing Subscription

Our Software Testing Subscription is a monthly recurring package (a Test Stack) made up of a custom mixture of our software testing services. Here you can decide the exact software testing services you want, how much testing you need, and how long you want the subscription. Our Software Testing Subscription allows you to create the best quality products for the best customer experience because it facilitates consistent and high quality testing.
