RedMonk Radio Episode 40: Agile QA with Scott Mark


200704302134

Talk early, and talk often.

In this episode, Coté talks with Scott Mark about Agile QA, starting with a discussion of a book he recently wrote a chapter for, Agile Software Development Quality Assurance. Also, see Scott’s commentary on the book. We talk about the chapter, but expand out to his experience with Agile QA and Agile development in general.

I like this episode because Scott tells us what’s been working for him and his group, esp. when it comes to cultural practices and changes.

Thanks again to Scott Mark for “calling in,” and putting up with some hijinks to get the call going ;>

(Fun drinking game: take a shot every time Coté says he won’t ramble-on or “editorialize” and then does, ad nauseum. Advanced players: include dog barking as well.)

    Good podcast. It’s amazing how similar the issues are across various companies doing large-scale development projects. In hearing this, I would propose this postulation: A development team’s ability to be agile is proportional to the amount of “legacy” code the development team has to maintain.

    Lunt: I agree. It seems like tackling legacy projects is where Agile changes. JP was just talking about that challenge at lunch today.

    I’m sure Agile can be successful on long term, multi-version projects, but I feel like there needs to be an update for “Mature Agile” projects. Maybe practices change and/or there are additional practices.
