This time we take on an important topic: How do you embed quality assurance processes inside agile teams when the role is not clearly defined.

Would you like to build a product without quality or testing in mind?

No? Makes sense. Though, while roles like PO or the Scrum Master and engineers are defined within the scrum guide, the Quality Assurance roles, even if commonly used, are not mentioned in any guide, framework, or method. 

So we decided to dig into that…

In this episode, we are joined by three professionals that give us different insights on the matter.

• Vasiliki Giamarelou, Lead Software Engineer In Test at Beat

• Labrini Vitou, Quality Assurance Specialist at Advantage FSE and

• Anastasios Kantas, Software Development Manager & Senior Automation Expert at Atos

So we discussed how they work and learned about the testing culture in their companies. They also shared loads of insights on how to do better QA generally and plenty of resources to get stuck into.

Enjoy.

The discussion is in a Q&A format, so it's not theoretical, but instead, we discuss battle-tested tactics and strategies, challenges, and insights.
