To really understand what our users need so that we can build the right thing, we want to have a first-hand experience of 'real-life stories' before we model and create our software. To quote Alberto Brandolini "it is not the domain expert's knowledge that goes into production, it is the developer's assumption of that knowledge...

There is an industry trend where businesses are moving towards autonomous product teams. These teams aim to be end-to-end responsible for the product they are building and maintaining. With the help of Continuous Delivery, teams have faster feedback cycles in which they can probe if a feature work. To achieve end-to-end team autonomy, companies move...

The way agile software teams gain knowledge about what to build is either by the product owner or business analyst serving as a proxy to domain knowledge.

October 16, 2024
By João Rosa

Effective test automation can help you speed up time to market and build quality in.
