Testing in Agile and careers

Work as a tester in modern teams.

📖 Key ideas

  1. Agile testers work in sprints alongside developers.
  2. Shift-left: test early with requirements and code reviews.
  3. Definition of Done includes tests passing.
  4. Roles: QA engineer, SDET, automation engineer, performance tester.
  5. Certifications: ISTQB Foundation, Agile Tester.
💡 Real-life example: An Agile tester is a teammate on the field, not a referee at the end of the match.
